Furlong Vision Correction's Online Review Report Card Is this you? Claim your profile

My experience with furlong vision correction for LASIK was excellent. I don't usually write reviews but wanted to for this experience since I relied heavily on reviews when making my decision. From the beginning, they were up front with everything I should know, and were extremely knowledgeable. It also helped that they take care of the San Jose earthquakes! They had excellent covid-based operations as well, which made me feel safe. The day of surgery, it was very smooth and fast. They walked me through everything as I was doing it and I was surprised at how quick the procedure felt. Came back for my post-op appointment and so far seeing 20/15! Thanks a bunch folks!

EXCELLENT experience. Would do it again (though I’ll never need to lol). -my current state: 24 hours after my surgery and I’m seeing at least 20-15 (the lowest line on the chart, I think I could see more). I currently have some halos around lights that has already significantly subsided in the last 24 hours (this is expected and will go away I’m told). I had some stinging pain for the first six-ish hours that went away with the numbing drops they gave me. Two naps yesterday and I was good to go. Prior to surgery I was nearsighted, -4 and -4.25, with astigmatism in both eyes. -COVID ready: this staff and clinic is totally COVID ready. They have cut down on their appointments to space everything out. Standard pre-entrance protocol: over-the-phone health questionnaire, temp taken at door, mask required, hand sanitizer everywhere. I never saw another patient. Rooms are clearly marked as to whether they have been sterilized or not. Instruments were cleaned before and after their use on me. -great doc: Doctor Furlong is an awesome dude that clearly knows his stuff, has a warm personality and has massive experience. He impressed me first during the consultation when, after a litany of digital tests completed with state of the art equipment, he examined my eyes with traditional optical equipment. By this he showed me that he embraces the latest and greatest tech but doesn’t completely depend on it, and wants to confirm everything with the old tried and true optical analog tech. I love that, and got a lot of confidence from this. -great staff: I interacted with several staff during my consultation and surgery. Each one of them was knowledgeable and friendly. I felt I was in excellent hands at all times. Additionally they were each positive and excited for me. -cooperation with my eye doc: my eye doctor is Dr. Ratinoff in Palo Alto. Dr. R referred me to Dr. F. The cooperation is seamless. They update each other on progress and status. I paid once to Furlong Vision and that has taken care of everything. -I have video of the surgery and it’s amazing: with covid rules, the viewing room for family / friends is closed. A staff member (my counselor, Phillipe - same person caring for me in the consultation and on surgery day) kindly used my phone and took a video of the entire procedure. It’s honestly so so incredible to watch and truly re-confirmed my confidence in the entire experience. I’m so happy to have the video! I’m kind of into that kind of weird stuff so I love watching it. All in all just simply an amazing experience, not just a surgery.....

Amazing!

Free Lasik evaluations with Dr. Furlong and Dr. Sane.

As an optometrist myself, I know there are a plethora of options to choose from in regards to refractive surgery providers. I wanted to go to a facility I trusted and Furlong fit the bill in so many ways. The entire staff are efficient, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. On the rare occasion I had to wait, it was for a very short period, and I never felt rushed out. My vision now seems sharper than ever and my eyes feel so comfortable. I can't recommend this facility enough.

I'd been dependent on glasses since kindergarten. Finally, over the last few years, I was considering LASIK. Once I discovered the world-class expertise of Dr. Furlong and Furlong Vision Correction, I knew it was time to finally do it. I couldn't be more pleased with my decision. They made the process so easy to understand and follow with clear education every step of the way. My wife was able to watch my 11-minute procedure from a viewing room. A nurse walked her through every step, while Dr. Furlong was doing the same for me in the operating room. I was amazed at my ability to see just after the procedure, with a very rapid recovery. Thank you, Dr. Furlong and team!

It has been a several years that i had my lasix surgery. Best decision yet! The staff and Provider at Furlong Vision Correction were amazing. I have no regrets of having my surgery. The only regret i have is not doing it sooner!! It's worth it!!

I had LASIK performed by Dr Furlong on 21 July 2000. This was not all that long after the procedure was finally approved in the USA; Dr Furlong had been performing it in Canada and teaching internationally prior to FDA approval. When I learned he’d fixed Steve Jobs’ eyes, and those of many players on the 49ers team, I was intrigued; one meeting was all I needed to know I’d found the right doctor and clinic. I paid out of pocket; no insurance covered it back then. The procedure went beautifully, and my vision went from legally blind to 20/15. I’m now 62, and remain ecstatic over the amazing results, almost 20 years later. I have a pair of 1.75 “cheaters” from Target I use to read in poor light (menus, pill bottles at night, etc) and that’s all I need. My head swims when I consider all the thousands of $$ in contact lenses and supplies, and in prescription glasses and sunglasses, that I’ve saved over 20 years. We’re now living on the East Coast. My 17 year old daughter is yearning for the day when she is old enough to have the procedure... so we’re planning on a trip to the Bay Area in the summer of 2021!!! LASIK changed my life for the better in so many ways. Thank you, Dr Furlong and staff; looking forward to seeing you next June (year)!!

Good result for an extremely nearsighted person. I have a -10.0 correction, which means I'm not a good candidate for LASIK (cornea isn't thick enough for both the flap and the ablation). 20 years ago I had PRK on my non-dominant eye, and while it got me to functional, it wasn't perfect. So I put off correcting my dominant eye. Finally decided it was time, and met with Dr. Furlong and his staff. He took all the time I needed to explain how PRK had changed, how my results might be different. Recovery from the first one was a bit tough, which wasn't surprising given the trauma to the eye. I had some odd optical effects, but now at the 9 month point they are all gone. And I was still a touch nearsighted. He explained at my six month follow up that with high correction patients, they are very careful not to go too far, and that sometimes that means that an enhancement needs to be done. We decided to do that to get rid of the last -1.50 of nearsightedness. I had the enhancement performed about a month before leaving for a cycling trip in Italy, and it was fantastic to get up every morning on my trip and NOT stick a contact in either eye. I'll leave the dominant eye as is, since I'm now in the presbyopia phase of life and the slight nearsightedness in that eye works as reading glasses.

One of the best decisions I've made in my life! It took me about 2 years before I actually made a decision and not to sound super corny or anything... I should've done it sooner! It's definitely easier saying that knowing my LASIK surgery went well so I completely understand anyone's fear or hesitation with actually committing. Dr. Furlong along with his staff were incredible throughout this process. They made sure all my questions were answered, any fear assuaged, and were just in general very pleasant people to be around :) From my consultation to my post-op, the whole process was easy. They mostly perform the LASIK procedures on Friday and you're ready to go back to work on Monday which is super convenient. I would definitely encourage anyone thinking about it to go do the consultation to see if you qualify. Dr. Furlong and his staff are completely honest during this portion and I actually had most of concerns and fears addressed during the consultation. It from this appointment, I knew I could trust Dr. Furlong and his staff to handle my eyes. The actual procedure itself sounds worse than it actually felt. The actual procedure was for the most part painless and at the worst part, it just felt slightly uncomfortable. The night of, after my procedure, I did feel a little stinging but I popped a benadryl and just went to bed for almost the entire day and woke up feeling great! My eyes felt completely felt normal the day after and to my surprise had better than 20/20 vision! Overall, I had a wonderful experience and highly recommend Dr. Furlong and his team! They also accept FSA!
