I felt right at home

My name is Matt Lindstedt and IQ Laser Vision recently did my LASIK surgery. Dr. Lin and staff are such an amazing team I felt right at home. I’m now seeing 20/15 in both eyes without any halos at night and just wearing sunglasses throughout the day. This has been such a relief and I couldn’t be happier with the results I’ve received. My dad couldn’t believe the results that I was seeing and he too has had LASIK surgery with Dr. Lin. He too achieved the same results and can’t believe how long he waited to be able to see life in a new light. I would strongly recommend anyone who is considering LASIK surgery to go to Dr. Lin and the entire IQ Laser Vision staff if they are looking for the best LASIK surgery outcome they can attain.

Customer service is top-notch

San Mateo, CA

I don’t think I can accurately convey my excitement and anticipation when I lost my RGP (rigid gas permeable) lenses for the 12093810239th time and my mom said, “When you graduate, let’s get you LASIK surgery.” I HAD (heehehe wooo) a very high prescription and had been wearing glasses since 1st grade, and RGP lenses since 3rd grade. There have been many activities and events that I avoided because of these lenses and glasses.

I came here for a consultation (free, mandatory) to get some tests done and learn about my options. The staff here work like a well-oiled machine; each individual has a specific role and function. The quality of customer service is top-notch. They do not skimp or cut corners with the vision tests, and they double- and triple-checked, which can be a bit time-consuming but when it comes to my vision and my eyes, I’d much rather be safe than sorry. Feel free to ask all the question you have.

One thing to note is that if you wear soft lenses, you should stop wearing them for at least three days before the consultation. If you wear RGP lenses, you should stop wearing them for at least three WEEKS before the consultation. The reason for this is to make sure that the measurements they take during the consultation are accurate and not distorted due to contacts lens wear.

The actual Lasik surgery process was relatively quick and pain-free. Dr. Lin was very calm during the process, which helped a lot. The thing that helped me the most, however, was when the staff assisting him put her hand on mine during this one part of the procedure that was (in my opinion) the scariest.

It’s been about a month after my procedure and I sometimes forget that I’m not wearing contacts. My eyesight has been fluctuating a bit but I’ve been told that that’s normal, and it will stabilize as my eyes heal over the next few months and as my eyes become less dry. During my last checkup, my eyesight was declared 20/20. The absolute best part is waking up in the morning and not having to fumble around.

If you’re on the fence about getting Lasik, I’d say sooner is better than later. If you’ve already had contacts and glasses for a long time, why not get checked now? The stronger your prescription is, the more expensive the surgery will be. In any case, the consultation is free so you might as well take the opportunity to learn some more about this and see what your options are.

A special shout out to Julie and Kevin and Dr. Richard for being so helpful, friendly, and welcoming throughout this process!

IQ Laser Vision has an amazing staff

IQ Laser Vision has an amazing staff that genuinely cares for your well-being. They also offer a financing option, which makes it great for some of you that are not able pay the full amount right away and would like to pay over time. If you’re interested, I recommend scheduling a consultation to check out your options. The best part is, It’s free! I’m so glad I did Lasik, and it is definitely life-changing. I love waking up in the morning not having to worry about my glasses or contact lenses, and being able to do my daily activities without any worry.

It has always been a dream of mine to someday get LASIK done as my eyesight has been terrible since I was younger. Also, traveling with contacts was always the most dreadful thing and it dried out my eyes more than ever.

I went to IQ Laser Vision for my consultation and the staff made sure I was comfortable at all times. I was told that I would be doing two different procedures in either of my eyes due to having astigmatism on one side. I was well informed of both procedures and the actual surgery went by faster than expected! Dr. Phan talked me through the process as he was working on my eyes and I didn’t feel a thing!

It’s been 6 weeks and it’s still a surreal feeling being able to see perfectly and not have to worry about contacts. I had some slight dryness on one eye and glaring of lights at night but that phase has passed and I’m incredibly happy with my results. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get LASIK!

I am incredibly thankful for the doctors and staff of IQ laser vision for giving me clear vision through the SMILE procedure. As an optometrist, it was surreal learning about the newer procedure back in optometry school and then having the opportunity to take part in it. SMILE stuck out to me, due to how it only required a small incision without the need of the flap in LASIK. I liked that SMILE was minimally invasive and could help with my particular contact lens dryness issue. The process through IQ Laser Vision was extremely thorough from beginning to end. Dr. Lin first introduced me to the procedure letting me know I was a good candidate. The consultation process was informative providing all the steps and eye drops needed. Despite having the usual pre-surgical nerves, Amber, Dr. Tran, and the staff were very understanding and took their time to answer all my questions. The procedure went by extremely smoothly and I felt calm as Dr. Phan explained each step as he was performing the surgery. The next morning, I was able to wake up seeing clearly without the hassle of finding glasses or putting on contacts!

I attended the UIW Rosenberg School of Optometry and completed my Bachelor of Science in General Biology, at UC San Diego. Throughout the majority of those school years, I experienced dry eyes with contact lenses whether it was in lectures or spending time at the beaches of San Diego. I enjoy being active when traveling, outdoors, and at the gym but always had to ensure I had backup glasses in the case my contact lenses were too dry. My vision independence through SMILE has been life changing! I can now continue my work and travel experiences with my new vision!

As a TV, radio show and host of a large show, you must maintain a very good image and vision.

I am a person who pursues perfection. If I have not tried it myself, I feel that it is good enough. I will not introduce it to my friends easily. For the eyes, I compared a lot of ophthalmologists and found that Dr. Lin is the most worthy of my trust, and the IQ Laser Vision equipment is novel, service is thoughtful, and surgery is superb.

Dr. Lin and his team are not only very modest but also very concerned about the patient.

So I chose IQ Laser Vision to do eye vision correction surgery for me. I am very satisfied. I also introduced many friends and family and my fans to do myopia, hyperopia and cataract vision correction. They are very satisfied and make me feel very proud.

IQ Laser Vision is definitely the best choice in laser vision correction!

As most women can attest, it is near impossible to read the words on the bottom end of lipstick labels. Having difficulty seeing both near AND far made the task even more daunting. The frustration with my vision peaked when I needed to replace a lipstick but couldn’t figure out which brand it was because I couldn’t read the label – Lancôme? MAC? Dior? I made the call that should have been years ago and scheduled my free consultation with Dr. Robert Lin at IQ Laser Vision . Since I had problems seeing both near and far Dr. Lin recommended a procedure for me called Monovision. Since having my vision restored life is less complicated. I no longer have to deal with two different sets of glasses and constantly switching between the two, one to see far and one to read. Dr. Lin is a graduate of UCLA Medical School of Ophthalmology which made it easy to trust I was in good hands! With several locations in Southern California, IQ Laser Vision is definitely the best choice in laser vision correction!

Thanks, IQ. You guys rock!

Los Angeles, CA

One random day I had decided to start looking into LASIK. I posted a status on my Facebook asking friends what they recommended. I got an overwhelmingly positive response and a majority of friends who don’t even know each other recommended Dr Lin at IQ. I signed up for 2 consultations – one with IQ and another at laser eye center.

Steve Higa and the entire staff at IQ were nothing short of amazing. Veronica my coordinator and Kevin who did my eye cleaning with the most enthusiasm I’ve ever witnessed made me feel really comfortable and relaxed. Every single staff member was so friendly. While I was waiting for my next test, Ed even offered me coffee and made it for me. Now that’s customer service!

Before I knew it, I was canceling my other consultation and signing up for a date to get my LASIK done with Dr Lin who took the time between surgeries to say introduce himself and answer questions.

Now the day of the LASIK procedure I was a nervous wreck because as far as major surgeries go, this is as major as it gets. The entire staff was reassuring and STEVE stayed past his work hours to just chat with me and keep me distracted while I waited. THANKS STEVE

The surgery itself was so darn quick I couldn’t believe it. Dr Lin talked me through all the steps and was so calm – really made a difference when you know what to expect when he’s cutting and shooting lasers at your eyeball.

Today is the morning after and I’m on the way to my follow up. I CAN SEE!!!!!!!!!! Everyone was right: this is the most incredible feeling ever. I just cannot begin to express my gratitude to Dr Lin, Veronica, Steve, Kevin, Ed and the rest of the staff at IQ Laser Vision for giving me the gift of sight back and for making this the best experience possible.

EDIT:::::::
12/11/13: I have to update this. THEY EVEN SENT ME FLOWERS a month after my surgery! I can’t believe how great their customer service is. Thanks, IQ. You guys rock!

Walnut, CA

I had my lasik done last week with dr. lin and so far so good! This place is extremely efficient and professional. I was really hesitant to do lasik b/c I was scared and I didn’t mind my contacts, but now I’m so happy I can wake up and see clearly without scrambling to get my glasses. Dr. Lin was amazing and talked to me throughout the entire procedure which was less than 5 minutes per eye! he also called me later that day (at 9pm on a saturday!) personally to make sure I was feeling okay and not having any complications. I would recommend this place to all of my friends!

I’m very happy with the results

I’ve always heard good things about getting LASIK surgery, but was still wary about the procedure. When IQ Laser Vision was recommended to me, I did my research and after reviewing numerous positive reviews and feedback I called for a consultation. Dr. Robert Lin personally met with me and answered all my questions and addressed the concerns that I had. His staff was accommodating and made me feel very comfortable before, during, and after the procedure. I’m very happy with the results – not only do I no longer have to deal with the hassle that comes with wearing contacts and glasses, but now my vision is better than ever. Having the procedure done was one of the best decisions of my life and my only regret is not coming into IQ Laser Vision sooner.

Perfect vision now is so worth it!

New York, NY

Long overdue review (I received my procedure in December of 2011) but better late than never right?

So my eyes were bad, like legally blind bad, I think my prescription was -14.0 ish (I’m having trouble remembering now what it was like to be so blind haha). Because my prescription was so high, regular Lasik or even PRK was out of the question. I had to do ICL, which involves implanting a collamer lens (basically a permanent contact) inside your eyeball. Sounds terrifying right?!

Before the procedure my mom had done her research on all the best doctors in this field, reading countless articles and consulting all of her friends in the community. Every source seemed to think Dr. Lin was the best and he’s won a bunch of awards! Also, my sister had a Lasik procedure with him the year before me and it had gone very smoothly. I had to start my consultation more than a year before my procedure, since I had been wearing hard contact lens and needed to make the switch to soft contacts a full year before the procedure. Then, the last week or two, I was supposed to be off contacts completely and switched to glasses, so my eyeball shapes could be fully adjusted to their normal state.

As mentioned by another reviewer, I was fine until I thoroughly read all the paperwork about all the risks and possible complications and completely freaked myself out. Do yourself a favor and just sign on the dotted line =P.

During the procedure itself, I won’t lie but it was a very scary process. ICL is a much more in-depth procedure than Lasik and the whole thing probably took about an hour, and I was awake the whole time! I was given shots of anesthesia into my eyeball (which hurt!) and then the procedure involved making an incision and then sliding in the collamer lenses. Although very nerve-wracking (they even gave me an anti-anxiety pill beforehand), after the anesthesia shots nothing else hurt, and it just felt like a lot of pressure on my eyes. Dr. Lin was very kind and talked me through what he was doing and advised me when he was almost done. He also gave me a break between eyes.

The recovery time is also a little rough compared to Lasik, my vision wasn’t perfect the next day and it probably took a good week for my eyesight to adjust but I am proud to report that I now have 20/15 in one eye, and 20/20 in the other =). Knowing this though, definitely leave yourself a good week to recover without having to go right back to school/work. I was in bed for most of the first few days after.

Laser IQ is also great about follow-up appointments and providing a support system for you as you recover (with 1 day after follow-ups, 1 month follow-ups, 3 month follow-ups, and 1 year follow-ups!). I also got a supplementary minor procedure to fix some lingering astigmatism a year after my ICL procedure, free of charge!

Shooting lasers at your eyes is a scary process, but I can honestly say I wouldn’t have trusted my precious eyes to anyone but Dr. Lin. You can do it too, having perfect vision now is so worth it!

I had been wearing glasses and contacts for over 15 years and find them both very inconvenient. Seeing IQ Laser Vision on Yelp gave me that push that I needed to go in for a consultation. Even though the office was busy, they had a large number of staff to accommodate my needs.
I had many worries going into LASIK, but Dr. Lin’s expertise and good reputation reassured me throughout the procedure. The staff was extremely helpful and I was given papers that gave me step by step instructions on how to treat my eyes before and after the procedure. I knew exactly what to expect and that I was in good hands.
Honestly, having this procedure done was one of the best decisions of my life. I can enjoy life more fully without the worry of contacts or glasses! I would definitely recommend IQ Laser Vision to everyone I know. I am so glad I took this journey with IQ Laser Vision . Thank you!

Nothing is more important to a sportscaster than getting the score right. But when I looked at the scoreboard at Dodger Stadium, I could never see the score. It was too blurry. All the numbers looked the same. It was a hassle and embarrassing, and I was always worried I’d get the score wrong on the radio. They eased my fears, and made me feel comfortable throughout the procedure. I highly recommend IQ Laser Vision .

In life we direct, plan, and form our own destiny. Most of us hold the capacity to select the opportunities that define our path and mold our future. I selected IQ Laser Vision to improve my vision, and I am very thankful of Dr. Lin and his staff for the attention I received before, during and after my procedure. The annoyances, irritations, and fatigue of the pterygium on my right eye have completely disappeared, and I am very happy to have placed my confidence with IQ Laser Vision . IQ Laser Vision is very professional and also very compromising to their patients to achieve the best work. Furthermore, they made me feel like I was part of the IQ family. Once again, thank you very much, and I am ready for the Micro-LASIK® procedure. Thank you for being so kind to all your patients. We will meet again soon, and you are worthy of being recommended.

My vision came true

My vision came true…

As motivational speaker and trainer, I encourage others to create what is termed “vision boards”.

Having a vision can create goals and dreams that become realities. With the power and help of visualization, one can see the future.

In 2008, I wrote on my own vision board, that I strongly desired to get laser eye surgery one day. I have worn glasses and contacts since I was in the 4th grade. My eyesight was so bad that I was considered nearly legally-blind.

Now everything has miraculously changed because of the truly amazing IQ Laser Vision center and Dr.Lin. I can see from morning to night, I am truly amazed, as I have exceedingly better vision than I did with corrective lenses.

Your Vision Can Come True!

Dr. Robert Lin of IQ Laser Vision performed my refractive correction procedure for my eyes and because of him I no longer rely on reading glasses. My work in aesthetics and the beauty industry, including permanent make-up application, requires clear vision. I had no hesitation to count on Dr. Lin for my LASIK procedure.

Author and TV Cooking Show Host

My vision was dramatically improved after undergoing Dr. Lin’s MICRO-LASIK® surgery. As a TV host, I need to see well when I’m on camera. However, my vision was so imbalanced because the right eye was seriously more nearsighted than the left. I often lost focus when I was hosting the TV show and looked cross-eyed. Therefore, I decided to have vision correction surgery. After consulting with many doctors, I chose IQ Laser Vision to perform my surgery. IQ Laser Vision has state-of-the-art equipment and a very knowledgeable staff. More importantly, Dr. Lin is a very caring and experienced surgeon, so I placed complete trust in him to perform my procedure. Without a doubt, the surgery was a success! That’s why I would like to speak about my experience at IQ Laser Vision and recommend Dr. Lin to my friends and family with vision problems. As a public figure in the Chinese community, I am very cautious about endorsements. I never endorse anyone or anything without a great reputation or personal experience. After my experience at IQ Laser Vision , I would like to say: IQ Laser Vision is trustworthy and Dr. Lin is excellent!

Dr. Lin with the LASIK procedure has given me the biggest improvement in my quality of life. From the moment that I set my foot in the Vision Institute of Southern California, I felt the competence of Dr. Lin and his staff. The quality of care was incomparable to any other center that I visited. Dr. Lin personally evaluated me before the surgery to discuss all my options. He carefully performed the surgery without the feeling of being rushed. He was also the one to provide all of the follow up care. I know that I received the very best and complete package of vision correction care.

A spa-like experience

If you are thinking about having laser surgery–you must know about IQ Laser Vision ! I just had my surgery this month, and I can’t stop raving about Dr. Lin and his entire staff. From the first call to the after care, everyone at IQ was knowledgeable, kind and personable. They turned what could have been somewhat stressful into a spa-like experience. I was really surprised at how quick and easy the entire process is. And very importantly, I had NO pain! This surgery really is miraculous. I was always concerned about losing a contact while diving or surfing because my eyes were so bad. If I am going to face a shark–I don’t want to do it blind…The very next day I could see EVERYTHING, it’s fantastic. I don’t think my vision was EVER this sharp, even as a child. Next month my brother is flying in from Portland just to see if Dr. Lin can fix his eyes too!
