    Goel vision reviewI took a whole 7 months to write this review and want to start out by saying that things didnt go exactly as planned but, in the end, I am very happy with the results. Dr. Goel, Dr. Liggins and the young female doctor who is no longer there, along with the staff overall, made me feel extremely cared-for. Dr. Goel is exceedingly caring. It makes everything better. Thanks to everyone.Im 58, had been very far-sighted with astigmatism and history of a lazy eye in one eye as a child. I needed glasses for everything. I had never been a LASIK candidate in the past. But that changed with time. After a consult with Dr. Goel in March, I was told the plan was for my far vision to be 20/20, but my near vision would need correction with reading glasses, or possibly computer/reading glasses. My goals for treatment were to be able to participate in exercise and training classes and to socialize without my glasses. Those goals were met!As it turned out, surgery overcorrected and/or I overhealed and am now a little near-sighted. However, the nice part of that outcome is that I can now read quite well without glasses for the first time in decades. (I can manage to read a newspaper article and most restaurant menus.) However, my far vision wasnt fully corrected, although it is far better than my previous far vision without glasses. I am legally able to drive without glasses but I can't read highway signs until I am quite close to them. Until I got Rx glasses again 3 months after surgery, I avoided trips to places I was unfamiliar with. After 3 months , I was really wanting some glasses to drive more easily, read more easily and see the computer more easily. To be clear, I can see so much better than I used to without my glasses! My lenses are so thin now, and so much nicer than the Coke bottle lenses that I had been wearing my whole life. I can go to the gym, see all the fine print on the machines, see across the whole room. I can go for a run , go to martial arts classes and yoga classes and see my instructors clearly without my glasses. I managed to do my job for 3 months with only reading glasses, which is nothing short of miraculous. I am a veterinarian. I will say overall, if your plan/goal is not a complete vision fix, the first 3 months are challenging. I wouldnt want to go through it again, but I dont regret doing it.That all being said, here are some tips that would have been really helpful for me, and should be readily shared with patients to reduce post-op anxiety and frustration:1) If you need to drive after dark for work or for any reason, you may be completely blinded by glare for 1-2 weeks so make alternate plans accordingly. The glare may not seem too bad at first but, within 5-10 minutes of driving, it overtakes your visual field. This is scary and very dangerous.2) Yellow tinted glasses (available at Walmart etc) help with glare when night-driving for several months while things continue to heal.3) If you need over-the-counter reading glasses while you are healing, there are nice charts that can be printed out from Foster and Grants to help you get the right strength the first time, which reduces anxiety and saves money.4) If you are going to need a prescription for glasses 3-6 months after LASIK, Dr. Liggans can do that for you. Most of the staff seem unaware of this and it caused some major confusion.5) In addition to eye drops, HydroEye soft gel supplements can help a lot. My eyes feel drier when I forget to take these for a few days. Dry eye can last up to a year or more.6) If you don't experience the expected results, you can undergo another procedure at no charge for life as long as you are still a good candidate. (Im happy with my results and will not be doing this.) Best Wishes!

    I had my SMILE procedure with Dr. Goel and I couldnt be happier with the entire experience. Dr. Goel and all his staff were amazing and beyond attentive. I would highly recommend his office if youre considering vision correction!
