A DISGRACE. This place is honestly the single worst clinic Ive ever gone to. IF IT EVEN deserves to be called that. Honestly should have their license revoked. The staff is rude. The doctors are rude. The techs dont know what theyre doing if they even are real technicians. My experience as below. My appointment is for 8:30 am, I arrive at 8:25 on a Thursday, figuring I could complete my appointment before work at roughly 9:30-10 After making me wait thirty minutes, they took in patients that came after me. At 9- I finally get a "technician" who then asks me to come in. Without a single word, she goes Ok sit over here, does all these tests, silently. No explanation (I have been to four different Lasik appointments at other clinics thus far so I know the procedure) I think ok maybe she just does the tests and someone else comes in to explain the proceedings. Halfway through the tests​- some other tech comes to the door and whispers to the "tech" working and pulls her aside. She then leaves without a word but leaves the door open . I hear what sounds like a Dr outside yelling at her "COME AND DO THIS FOR SO AND SO YOU NEED TO DO IT RIGHT NOW, YOU HAVE ANOTHER PATIENT? THATLL TAKR FOREVER DOESNT MATTER, THIS ONLY TAKES FIVE MINUTES, CONE DO THIS" after 15 minutes, she reappears with no apology and then starts talking about Lasik, I state that other locations have explicitly recommended me only PRK due to my corneas being thin, Yet she continues on a diatribe about lasik. I say ok and tell her I will not be doing dilation as I need to drive to work. She then states that she will be putting in numbing drops for a test. I state I dont want dilation, she states they are not dilation drops. She puts them in my eyes, then walks outside, once again leaving the door open. I can hear her asking someone ELSE-"AM I DONE? I PUT DROPS IN HER EYES THATS IT RIGHT DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE?" wow Just wow. I was about to leave when I asked if I could just talk to the financing to get a picture of pricing. She then states "Im not sure if shes free to talk but I can find out" WHY ELSE WOULD I BE HERE FOR A CONSULT? JUST MOVE ON IGNORE THIS PLACE NOT EVEN WORTH WALKING INTO

I got my first pair of glasses in 1995 I got contacts in 1998 I have wanted to get corrective surgery since 2002. I dont mind the look of glasses, but the fact that I have to continually push my glasses up is a bit annoying. I am an athlete, and sweat on the glasses and also getting the glasses hit off my face is annoying Contacts... they fix all of the problems I mentioned above. But having to take them in and out every morning and night, taking cases and solution on any trip is annoying. Needless to say, I was very excited to get corrective surgery. All the money you spend on contacts over the years is way more than the corrective surgery now. I chose for PRK (photo refractive keratectomy) vs. LASIK because I did not want to deal with the flap on my cornea. It is a longer recover time, and I was ok with that for long term benefits. I went from contacts at -2.5 (glasses 20/400 i think), to almost perfect as soon as I was done the very quick procedure. The procedure took maybe 4 minutes, and painless. I am currently 1 month post-surgery, I have 20/20 officially, and I made out the 20/15 line with some fuzziness. I had no pain throughout recovery, although my eyes felt like they were lightly scratched. My eyes were sensitive to light for about a week, but thats not so bad... wear sunglasses or close your eyes. The staff, including Dr. Sheth were all very professional, helpful, compassionate, and friendly. I did not feel rushed at all in any of my appointments. I work in the medical field, so I have seen both sides of the "hospital setting". Sheth-Horsley Eye Center was a great example of great medical care. The national average for having to get "touch ups" to make vision perfect after initial corrective surgery is 10%. I think that is pretty good. Dr Sheth has a 2% rate of returns. I think that is DAMN good! Overall: great experience worth every penny easy procedure I CAN SEE PERFECT NOW!!! I would definitely suggest Sheth-Horsley Eye Center if you would like details on the procedure or any other information, please dont hesitate to ask. Cheers

I had Lasik at the Sheth-Horsley Eye Center in October 2011. I bought a half off deal on Groupon. I was a long term, (15-20 year) contact lens wearer with both moderately bad eye sight and astigmatism. I had to be out of my contacts for six weeks before having the surgery. I think I ended up with having about two appointments at Dr. Sheths office and one in Burlington at the Laser Eye Center (where the procedure is done) prior to having the procedure. The actual procedure was quick, it took about 10 minutes and was a bit uncomfortable - mainly due to my anxiety. I left there with blurred eyesight. When I got home it was hard to see b/c of wearing the dark sunglasses. My eyes felt scratchy and irritated. Though by the next day, they werent as irritated. The next day my vision wasnt 100% clear and I was worried that it didnt work. For the next week my vision would blur and go in and out of focus throughout the day. I read a lot of stories online that said that my vision should have been perfect by then and mine wasnt. For the first two or so weeks after the surgery, my vision would go in and out, sometimes one eye would be clear and the other blurry and then it would switch eyes. However, by week three, my vision became more and more focused and clear. It is now January and my vision is 20/15. I see much better now than I did with my contact lenses or glasses. I am still surprised by how clear the world around me is. The only real issue that I have now is occasional dry eye, which is expected. It has gotten better over time and I continue to the restasis drops twice a day and the other over the counter drops when my eyes feel dry (which is rare now). I also have some halos at night with traffic lights and car headlights. This too has gotten better, Dr. Sheth said that this would clear up within a year. My only regret is not getting this done years ago.!!! I would recommend Dr. Sheth.

I had been wearing contacts or glasses for about 30 years, and couldnt see more than a few feet in front of me without them for as long I I could remember. I originally had a consultation about a year ago, was told that I was a good candidate, but got scared off when I started reading various sites with horror stories about complications. But then I started reading more actual medical articles and reading more about Dr. Sheths qualifications and realized that those complications were very rare. So, I decided to try it again. I went to Dr. Sheth for a second opinion and was again told I was a good candidate. So I decided to go for it. Everything seemed to go just as explained in my consultation. The procedure was fast, only about 10-15 mins, and with only a little discomfort. There was a little pain for the next hour or so after leaving the office, but after napping for several hours as instructed, much of the pain had subsided. And I was already able to watch TV at a moderate distance! The next morning I awoke and I was able to see better than I had since 8th grade, if not in my entire life. I was 20/20 in one eye and 20/15 in the other. After a few weeks my vision stabilized to 20/15 and I can even make out some on the 20/10 line! For the first time in my adult life, several weeks ago I opened my eyes underwater while swimming and could see where I was going! When I think about such a huge difference in my sight in such a short amount of time, Im still amazed! For full disclosure I, too, had to wait nearly 2 hours for my surgery (this was explained beforehand) , and one of my follow up appointments was significantly delayed, but nothing out of the ordinary from other doctor visits I have had. But any inconvenience was definitely worth the reward. Im very satisfied with my experience, and would definitely recommend Sheth-Horsley to anyone considering LASIK.
