Reviews of Barrie Lasik Centre (Ophthalmologist)

Anna Cowen

As an Optometrist in Wasaga Beach, I always refer my patients to Barrie Lasik for laser vision correction. The staff is very professional and accommodating. The surgical outcomes for both Lasik and Cataract Surgery are fantastic and my patients have been nothing but satisfied with their visual results. After touring the facility myself I am confident that their equipment is state of the art. Most recently, I sent my husband for Lasik with Dr. Machet who has years of experience with refractive laser correction. Within 1 day my husband was better seeing than 20/20 vision and the procedure was flawless. I highly recommend Dr. Machet and the team at Barrie Lasik and will continue to refer my patients to them in the future. Dr. Anna Dionisio Georgian Bay Optometry Clinic Wasaga Beach

The staff and doctor are amazing, everyone was so friendly, helpful and calming. I had both eyes done for long distance and am super amazed with the results. It has been about 4 years, no glasses and loving every moment. Thank you to all the staff. K Smith

I had no other eye conditions, only needed glasses for reading and far vision. I was dependent on glasses for everything. I had a great experience with Barrie Lasik. I was referred by (Dr Smith) from the Optical Market, Angus. I wanted Lasik surgery but after consultation, Refractive Lens Exchange was the better Option. Military, in my 41st year of service, RLE is the best for me to regain my Far vision, Mid and a certain portion of my near vision. I am writing presently with no glasses on my laptop, day 4 after after my operation (in Calibri font 11) and I am very very happy ???? to be able to do this with no glasses. My experience at Barrie Lasik: Initially my contact with the clinic front desk was cold and not very re-assuring (the person there need a bit of a refresh on her people skills (too comfortable in her job and a bit dismissive). Once I arrived at the Clinic in Barrie; all of the other members of the clinic were extremely welcoming, they took time with me and explained in details what they were doing for tests and what I was going to go through. Notable person in this clinic, was Chanette. She is very friendly and knowledgeable of the procedures, she went through them herself therefore, she can explain the feeling you get as you go through the different steps of the procedures. I am a bit lengthy here, but I hope this helps people with their decision to be going or not for the RLE eye correction. I was reading a lot on the different procedures, lens and watched multiple YouTube videos to know what I was putting myself through. For myself, I decided to get the Vivity lens put into my eyes (Dr. Tayfour-my eye surgeon) recommended either the Synergy or the Vivity. By watching multiple videos again, I wanted less chance to get halos and better far and Mid Vision so that drove my decision. This next part is how I felt during and after to procedures: Initial day of the operation; great reception at the clinic, (COVID 19 precautions were done) I was brought into the first room (were the lens gets chattered and prepared for the next part). I have to say that I really did not feel any discomfort other than seeing in kaleidoscope (after the lens were chattered), the next part you are brought back (walking) to the Lazy boy room I call it), before the last operating room. Once again, Dr. Tayfour is getting the procedure done and explained what he was doing. The two procedures must last all but 15 or 20 minutes. You are brought back to the Lazy boy room and 10 min later you are ready to go home with the person who drove you to the clinic. You are given a little bag with eye protection covers for the first five nights of sleep and a pair of dark glasses to protect from the sun. my vision currently; left eye better than the right eye. Right eye had a describe it like a big splash in the middle? Definitely not as good as the left one. Night one at home (I am a bit worried about the result before going to bed). 1st morning and before going to the clinic for the first check; much better. The spot or splash? On my right eye is clearing, much better, but the left eye is recovering much faster than my right eye. At the clinic, day after the procedure, again well greeted at the clinic, I have a chance to talk in the waiting room with others that had the same procedure as mine the day before, One lady’s vision is perfect in both eyes, she can already use her phone and described her vision as perfect. Another man; has received the same lens as me, the Vivity and his vision like mine is improving by the hours. I get called into the room for my first check up, Dr. Stewart there checks my eye and is happy to see that my eyes are doing well (very approachable and personable). Explains to me that my vision will continue improving with time and that the right eye is possibly a bit enflamed but not to worry, with the drops, it will catch up to the other eye. My left eye was already strong for the first day. I hope that this gives you a better understanding with the RLE procedure for eye correction. Well worth the investment in my views.

I had custom bladeless LASIK done yesterday and other than some moderate discomfort for about 12 hours afterwards (which they provided numbing drops for) I feel amazing to day. Super clear vision and with a little light sensitivity that went by about noon the next day and thats it! I already haf was dealing with some halos when looking at lights before and this didn't fix that but its also isn't any worse. Wonderful experience, the whole thing was super quick but everyone was very courtious (if you need a lot of comforting/chit-chat you might feel "rushed" but I was fine with the pace). I was nervous and both Dr. Tayfour and the nurses/techs talked to me throught out to keep me calm. 10 stars if I could.

The LASIK center was excellent on my surgery day however when my wife returned for follow up the next day the optometrist was very unprofessional and very negative with regard to my referring optometrist choices

Paul Hargreaves

The staff was very welcoming, knowledgeable, and truly professional. I would highly recommend the Barrie LASIK Centre!
