Lanter Eyecare and Laser Surgery

I had PRK surgery about 8 months ago at Lanter Eyecare and I couldn’t be happier with my vision. Their team met with me several times and through these exams we decided that PRK would be a better fit than LASIK. I was extremely nervous about the longer recovery, but I’d do it again in a heartbeat (and I wish I would’ve done it sooner)!
I’m not going to lie, it’s scary having your eyes operated on while you’re awake, but the doctors were very attentive to how I was doing throughout the procedure. There wasn’t any pain, just some discomfort, and it was over in about 10 minutes.
The recovery time they quoted me was spot on and I’m so pleased with the results. I almost forget what it was like wearing glasses and contacts, and I tell anyone who’ll listen about how life changing it is to have vision correction surgery.
Dr. Lanter and his team took amazing care of me and my eyes. If you’re considering having the procedure done, I highly recommend calling their offices for a consultation.

I had PRK done here a few months ago. After years of trepidation about the procedure and the cost, I took the plunge and wish I’d done it sooner.
Dr. Lanter is great. I visited another, national chain laser eye surgery place before coming here, and wasn’t able to meet with the dr’s, and got that «hard sell» feeling. Not reassuring when you depend on your eyes for work and are thinking about letting someone zap them with a laser beam. During the initial appointment here, Dr. Lanter sat down with me after his technicians met with me, and answered all of my questions, and provided some additional info on the type of machine used, how long it takes to heal from PRK (about 6 weeks compared to a couple of days with LASIK), and was easy to talk to and very upfront about the whole process. I walked out feeling as though I knew all the potential risks and benefits, and as though my eyes would be in good hands.
It’s nearly six months later, and my eyes feel great. I’ve had very few problems with dry eye, and my vision has gone from about ²⁰⁄₈₀₀ to ²⁰⁄₁₅ — pretty phenomenal. There are several appointments before and after the process, so they can keep tabs on the healing process, and the staff is also good about getting back to me when I have questions about stuff like eyedrops and snorkeling. Plus, he’s local (offices in Carmel, Greenwood, and CA — not exactly a national chain), which is always nice.
