The worst treatment I have ever received. First, they didn't tell me they were going to dilate my eyes but did so, without my consensus, and then left me to drive myself home, in broad daylight, after the visit. Needless to say I was basically blind in that bright afternoon sunlight on the drive home almost causing an accident when I couldn't see well enough to avoid swerving into a center median while turning. Second, I was never notified the exorbitant cost of the dilation on checkout and only noticed it on the single bill I finally received several months later. Third, I told them I could not receive postal mail but they insisted I give them a postal mailbox anyway. They never sent me a bill electronically, only through the postal mail, and then they added late fees when I did not pay the bill but I never received. I only received the paper bill by happenstance. Fourth, I was told I would receive a glasses and contact prescription but at check out they only had a glasses prescription and they required me to pay $75 extra if I wanted that. Later, when discussing the exhorbitant bill with the billing department, they only credited me $70 even though my credit card statements showed I paid $75. Fifth, the glasses prescription I was provided was rejected by two different online providers as being an invalid prescription. Moreover, when I went to a brick and mortar shop to get contact and glasses prescriptions they verified that the prescription was nowhere near accurate and was unusable. Sixth, the building department was completely unhelpful. They gladly removed a charge here but then added it over here so the final amount was still the same. They didn't seem to care that the service was poor, the prescription was invalid, my safety was put in jeopardy for really anything else. There is nothing good that I can say about this shop and, personally, I will never go back to them and trust them with my vision.

I went to Sharpe Vision because I did not want glasses. That promise is posted throughout the office: get out of glasses. Dr. Sharpe performed PRK on my right eye and told me he could keep me out of them. After the procedure my near vision is essentially gone and my distance vision is worse than it was before. I now need bifocals that are uncomfortable and harder to wear than the mild prescription I would have needed had I done nothing at all. I paid thousands of dollars and went through a painful recovery for vision that is more limited, not less. I am a physician. I know how hard this work can be, and I am reluctant to say anything negative about another physician. I am still disappointed. On our last visit I told Dr. Sharpe what the outcome had done. He said he was “sorry you are unhappy with the result.” I sincerely regret this decision.

Sharp Vision in Renton and Bellevue, Washington, is absolutely FANTASTIC. I called them on June 9 and was able to get in the very next morning at 9:00. I went through the preliminary testing and explained what I wanted. I wanted monovision because I had done that before with contacts, and they told me, “Yes, we can do that.” They put me through the testing, and the next day I met with the surgeon. He said, “Sure, we can do this for you. No sweat.” That was exactly what I needed to hear. I was scheduled for the following Tuesday for my first eye, had the procedure done, and went back the next day for the follow-up. Everything was healing nicely. The one thing I really want to say is that everybody — the doctors, the receptionists, the scheduling staff, the people on the phone, everyone — was FANTASTIC. This outfit is the greatest. If you need eye surgery, LASIK, cataract surgery, or anything else Sharp Vision provides, do yourself the biggest favor and go there first. I highly, highly recommend Sharp Vision for all of your eye care needs.
