This review is long overdue. I got my lasik surgery done with Dr. Ray T. Oyakawa back in 2006. I remembered thinking about getting it done for about 5 years prior. After my surgery… my only regret is not getting it done sooner. Dr. Oyakawa is an ophthalmic surgeon who’s been in the practice for almost 30 years. He did lasik surgeries for 3 of my co-workers which was how I got him as a recommendation. At that time I was wearing contact lenses and my eyes were getting infections constantly. I was so tired of it and to top it off, my vision was getting worse each year(I’m near sighted thanks to my Dad’s genes). I also had a slight astigmatism on my right eye. I initially met up with Dr. Oyakawa for a consultation and set up for surgery at Cedars Sinai. As with any surgery, I was extremely scared(especially on the day of). The staff at Cedars Sinai made sure I was comfortable and also gave me a teddy bear to hold on to, lol. The actual surgery was done in a snap. I mean each eye took about a minute and before I knew it… I was good to go. It took a few days for my eyes to get adjusted and I had to wear special glasses. But after about a week…20/20 vision baby! No more contact lenses! No more astigmatism! No more eye infections! And I can SEE! It’s been 6 years already and my eyes are still 20⁄20. I still get my annual checkup to make sure everything is functioning correctly. But I never regret getting this done. I highly recommend Dr. Oyakawa.
