And the improvement in my night vision when driving is even more remarkable.

I had Lasik with Dr. Michael Wong many many years ago. It was amazing how well I could see, and how the office staff and Dr. Wong were so attentive. I have been going there every two years for the last few years and basically nothing has changed. The office staff/ assistants are all very pleasant and Dr. Michael Wong is still answering all my questions , and being patient with any concerns that I may have with other eye issues. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a smart, patient and thorough eye doctor.
