FOR OUR PATIENT REVIEWS!
Why Choose US?
1. We treat you like family - Once a patient, always a friend
 We will treat you like family. This principle guides us in everything we do. Every time a patient comes in for LASIK eye surgery in San Diego, we imagine that this person is a loved father, mother, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, or close friend. We treat people with compassion, consideration, and respect. We also use this philosophy to guide which LASIK technology we choose for our patients - you would only want the best for your family! We want your visit and experience at the San Diego LASIK Institute to be among the best you have ever had.
2. We use the best LASIK technology for the best results that we can
 We will never compromise on the LASIK technology we use. We believe you have only two eyes and deserve the best LASIK technology for them. LASIK technology is quickly advancing and we strive to be on the cutting edge. It is often tempting for other San Diego LASIK surgeons to use microkeratome and noncustom LASIK technologies to increase their profits. Instead of worrying about our profit margins, it is more important for us that you do well after your LASIK surgery in San Diego. We believe in using Advanced Custom LASIK with the Industry leader VISX Star 4 CustomVue System with Iris Registration. Custom LASIK is accomplished by using wavefront technology to create a unique LASIK treatment. We also believe in the "All Laser LASIK" method with the Intralase laser for our LASIK patients in San Diego. The San Diego LASIK Institute uses the same Intralase and VISX CustomVue LASIK lasers that treat NASA pilots.
San Diego's Fifth Genration iLASIK - iFS (Fifth Generation Intralase) LASIK Laser Which Can Make A Flap in Less Than 10 Seconds!
The San Diego LASIK Institute is proud to offer San Diego's fifth generation Intralase - the iFS. This laser has revolutionized laser vision correction and has taken the safety and accuracy of the flap making process to a whole new level. The iFS LASIK laser creates the bladeless flap in the first stage of your San Diego LASIK surgery. The new Intralase laser is 250% faster than the fourth generation Intralase laser used in other San Diego practices. In addition, to making your LASIK surgery more comfortable and safe, the flap's created with the iFS are up to 400% stronger than flaps made with the microkeratome.
At the San Diego LASIK Institute, we believe that using the best LASIK technology results in the best vision!
3. We are not a San Diego LASIK factory, every surgery should be a work of art
 Dr. Pham is experienced and skilled in bladeless LASIK in San Diego. He is a LASIK surgeon that believes that every LASIK surgery done at the San Diego LASIK Institute should be a work of art. With us, every patient and every LASIK surgery is treated like it's the only surgery of the day. We realize it's a one-time surgery for you. Many San Diego LASIK centers have a factory mentality and seek to do as many operations as they can as fast as possible. Ours is the opposite; we will never rush you or take any shortcuts during your LASIK eye surgery in San Diego. Just because McDonald's serves the most hamburgers, it does not serve the best hamburgers!
4. All Laser Intralase LASIK Method - All Laser and No Razor
 The development of the Intralase laser was a major surgical milestone in laser vision correction. Instead of using a microkeratome (razor) for the creation of a flap, we are now able to use a laser to make the flap. This gives the LASIK surgeon incredible flexibility and accuracy in the creation of the flap. It also allows a thinner LASIK flap to be made and saves you more corneal tissue. The San Diego LASIK Institute's use of this technology results in safer laser eye surgery in San Diego with faster healing and less scar tissue.
5. Advanced Custom Treatments with Iris Registration
 Your eye is unique. In order to eliminate your eye's irregularities and aberrations, custom LASIK surgery makes an individual wavefront map of your eye. Think of this custom LASIK wavefront map as a "fingerprint" of your eye. The laser then treats all of the unique irregularities of your eye. The Advanced custom LASIK surgery done at the San Diego LASIK Institute is the same treatment that is done for Air Force and NASA pilots. Advanced custom LASIK also accounts for your eye's potential rotation during surgery. It registers your iris to compensate for any rotation during surgery. Advanced custom LASIK with iris registration is offered at the San Diego LASIK Institute.
Dr. Pham is a certified iLASIK surgeon. iLASIK is the pinnacle of LASIK technology. We believe that the iLASIK platform produces the best San Diego LASIK results. It combines the benefits of all laser Intralase method LASIK and advanced custom LASIK with iris registration. The San Diego LASIK Surgery Institute is proud to offer you iLASIK.
6. Affordability - 0% Financing
 LASIK is not just for the rich and famous. We believe everyone should be able to have LASIK in San Diego. This is where our financing programs come in. These programs have made the cost of LASIK in San Diego affordable for over 94% of our patients. We offer different 0% financing, 0% down, and 0% plans to accommodate everyone. We also continually strive to have the lowest prices and best value for our technology. We constantly survey other San Diego LASIK practices to know our competitors' rates.
7. Minimal Office Wait Times, Your Convenience Not Ours! Saturday Surgery Times Available
 We will do everything in our power to make your visit to the San Diego LASIK Surgery Institute as pleasant as possible. Nobody wants to spend all day in a doctor's office. We often have no office wait times due to our goal. However, if you ever have to wait more than 10 minutes and we will try to make it up to you!
In addition, we are one of the few LASIK Surgery centers in San Diego to offer Saturday LASIK Surgery days. We also recently added Dr. Arlene Huynh to offer more convenient LASIK consultation and office visit times at our San Diego office.
8. Location, Location, Location
 We are conveniently located in the heart of San Diego and we are near all of the major freeways. We are located near the 8, 163, 805, 15, and 5 freeways. Whether you are coming from the East, West, South, or North we should be a short drive for you for your LASIK surgery. We also offer convenient and flexible office hours to help you avoid traffic times.
9. We Offer More than LASIK Surgery
 Vision correction includes more options than LASIK surgery. Although LASIK surgery is a great treatment for the majority of our San Diego patients, some people may require different treatment options. Our advantage is that we can offer every type of technology and are not locked into just one. This increased flexibility allows us to make better decisions regarding your vision correction. If you go to a place that only offers LASIK, LASIK is the only thing that may be offered to you when there may be other technologies that help you better. LASIK, All laser LASIK, PRK, LASEK, the implantable contact lens, and multifocal lenses are just some of the technologies Dr. Pham has expertise in. San Diego LASIK patients who are not candidates for LASIK surgery may be candidates for PRK.
In addition, many patients over sixty who have difficulty with both distance and near vision may benefit from either the Rezoom, Restor, Toric, or Crystalens lenses. These lenses are used to give you both near and distance vision in a single eye. At the San Diego LASIK Institute, Dr. Pham is able to combine these lenses in patients near cataract age to give you a increased range of vision.
10. Your San Diego LASIK Surgeon Does all of your Examination - Every Detail is Noticed
 We take no shortcuts. Dr. Pham does all of your examination and personally reviews your information. The fact that your San Diego LASIK surgeon reviews and checks your measurements instead of a technician or other eye care provider helps to insure you get the best results. Dr. Pham performs your refractions on up to three separate occasions prior to your San Diego LASIK surgery. We are not a factory and Dr. Pham believes that by doing the LASIK examination himself and not delegating it to other professionals, he is able to offer you the best LASIK surgery results.
11. No Marketing Gimmicks or Tiered Price Schemes
We do not do the bait and switch type of marketing. Some LASIK practices in San Diego may offer "$299" LASIK. After you come and spend nearly 2 hours with an extensive dilated examination, you may find many hidden fees that quickly increase the cost of the procedure. We are hoping to perform a life changing LASIK surgery for you and not sell you a used car. We are honest, upfront, and we never pressure you. Our job is to educate you so that you can make an informed decision about LASIK surgery in San Diego. We do shop the competition and believe we have the lowest prices and best value for our technology.
12. A San Diego Based LASIK Surgeon - 24 Hour Direct Access to Dr. Pham
 Some LASIK surgeons who perform LASIK in San Diego do not live in San Diego. They may travel or fly to San Diego to do their surgery only. Dr. Pham lives in central San Diego and Dr. Pham is available 24 hours/7 days a week for you. He will never mind taking your calls or coming in after hours for you. He would rather you call him to let him know how you are doing. He is flexible and will often arrange a LASIK surgery schedule convenient for you.
13. All inclusive treatment related to LASIK for 1 Year Including Enhancements - FREE Punctal Plugs
 We want your LASIK surgery in San Diego, CA to be like an all inclusive resort vacation. Everything related to your LASIK surgery in San Diego should be included in your initial fee. Your initial treatment fees contain all the costs for your treatment related to your LASIK for 1 year. This includes any enhancements you may need or punctal plugs. Some patients may get dry eyes after their San Diego LASIK surgery. This tends to heal for most people by the third to six months. However, you may need punctal plugs which are devices that help maintain the moisture around your eyes during this period. Some practices can charge upwards of $250 for each punctal plug and up to $1000 for all 4 punctal plugs. We do not charge for punctal plugs after LASIK surgery at the San Diego LASIK Institute and insert them for free. There are no hidden fees for punctal plugs or dry eye treatments.
14. A Caring San Diego LASIK Surgeon
You will never be rushed during your San Diego LASIK examination or surgery. We realize that it can be scary for you to think about eye surgery or LASIK eye surgery. We take every effort to make the process as smooth and painless as possible. In fact, the number one complaint Dr. Pham's LASIK patients have had is that they had wish they have had LASIK surgery in San Diego sooner!
15. Dr. Pham is a skilled San Diego LASIK surgeon and a perfectionist.
 Dr. Pham is the type of LASIK surgeon that believes in checking three times and only performing surgery once. Our team will often double and triple check your key LASIK tests and measurements. He wants your outcome to be as perfect as possible and for you to achieve your personal best vision. His life goal is to improve quality of life by improving vision.
16. We have stringent screening protocols - We feel that the best surgery is the one we did not do
We take your San Diego LASIK surgery very seriously. Even on your initial phone consultation we have screening LASIK questions to try to find the best candidates for LASIK. We do not want to put you at any unnecessary risk. LASIK surgery is an elective eye surgery. We screen you for medical diseases such as keratoconus, severe dry eyes, severe autoimmune disorders, glaucoma, cataracts, and other conditions that can make LASIK more risky for you. We limit our age for iLASIK surgery to 55 years of age because we feel that patients over 55 are better served with intraocular lens surgery or waiting until they get cataracts. We also offer honest and ethical consultations.
Dr. Pham feels that the best surgery is the one we did not do. There are many possible side affects and complications of LASIK and laser vision correction including dry eyes, glare and halo at night, loss of vision, infection, and inflammation. At your consultation, we will do our best to tell you your potential benefits, drawbacks, and side effects. LASIK technology has vastly improved the quality of the results. However, it is important to know that every surgery has associated risks. No website can provide all of the necessary information to have an informed decision making process. If you would like to learn more about iLASIK, laser vision correction, or PRK we recommend that you make a consultation at our San diego office for more information.
Every eye is unique and not everyone is a candidate for LASIK surgery in San Diego. Dr. Pham will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding your LASIK surgery. Realistic expectations, healthy eyes free from disease, and informed decisions are the keys to a successful LASIK surgery in San Diego.
