I’ve got my lasik surgery from them about a week ago after getting a lot of my colleagues’ recommendations. It has really been a pleasant experience working with them so far. My eyes seem to healing properly now, and I’m excited for the next follow-up appointment.

Jong Won L.

Would highly suggest lasik with Dr. Kraff. Smooth, pain free operation and his staff is just as good. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating in terms of post op experience. I’ve been blind my entire life and I still am shocked at how well I see. Wish I would have seen Dr. Kraff years ago

Brandon K.

Great experience, very happy with the results! I'm a few months out from getting lasik at Kraff and am very happy with the results. The staff was great and Dr. Kraff himself was extremely competent and put all my anxieties to rest.

Eva P.

I went here for Lasik with Dr. Kraff. The experience was top notch from the support team to the doctor. The team answered all of my questions and was patient and professional. They have this procedure down - efficient and organized. I am very grateful for my 20/20 vision after wearing contacts for years.

Sarah L.

Dr. Kraff and his staff were nothing short of spectacular. HIGHLY recommend using his services for LASIK. The results are absolutely incredible - I now have 20/15 vision and recommend this procedure to anyone who is thinking about this!

Adam S.

The Kraft Institute did an incredible job preparing me for the procedure and out lining my regimine for post-op care. Although I was very nervous the lasik was quick and painless. I am so happy to be able to see without glasses for the first time in over a decade. Thanks so much!

Claire O.

I got lasik here and it turned out amazing! Very happy with the results and was very pleased with the service at Kraff.

I loved working with the Kraff Eye Institute for my Lasik surgery. I had horrible eye-sight. I went from a -8 and -7 contact prescription to perfect vision! I can't believe it. Highly recommend them.

Courtney R.

I had LASIK with Dr. Colman Kraff over 10 years ago. Just went in for my check-up and still perfect vision. I do not know why I waited so long to have LASIK. It is the best money I have ever spent.

My experience at Kraff Eye was wonderful! I've been there 3 times in the last week for my PRK surgery and follow up appointments. They are patient kind and want to give you the best experience possible. Dr. Kraff is calm and helps you stay relaxed before, during and after your surgery. I'm happy with my experience and would highly recommend them for your vision correction surgery.
