Success Stories
"I still can't believe how incredible it feels to wake up with perfect vision."—Anjaleena Elizabeth Mathew
I truly believe it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. The entire experience exceeded my expectations. The staff was kind, professional, and incredibly reassuring. What made the biggest difference was how Dr. Porter calmly talked me through the entire procedure, explaining exactly what I would feel at each step.The procedure was quick, over in just minutes—and I felt comfortable the entire time. It's been truly life-changing. I highly recommend Porter Ophthalmology for their outstanding patient care!
Success Stories
"I was already seeing 20/15 the day after during my post-op evaluation."—Devin V.
Dr. Porter was very thorough and genuine when evaluating me both before and after my surgery. He did an amazing job on my eyes, I'm writing this review about two weeks later and can say my eyes have never been this good. I didn't expect my vision to be so sharp so fast. They really do care about doing an excellent job and have a great system for this. I felt well-informed going into surgery, and Yesi did an amazing job easing my nerves by talking with me and my wife. She even gave my wife a nice little gift as a gesture of kindness to the driver for taking time out of their day, which I thought was a nice touch. All in all, I highly recommend Dr. Porter's practice for anyone's vision correction needs!
Success Stories
"The next day I woke up seeing clearer than I ever had."—Rachel Quinn
I recently got LALEX/SMILE vision correction surgery here and I couldn't be happier. Dr. Porter is awesome! I was pretty nervous going in, but he explained what was happening and reassured me throughout the procedure, which made it much less scary. And it was over so fast! I had zero pain or discomfort afterwards. My vision is incredibly sharp. The front desk staff is amazing—they go out of their way to make the whole experience relaxing. I would recommend Porter Ophthalmology to anyone considering LASIK, SMILE, or other vision correction!
Success Stories
"If I could give you guys 10 stars I would! Thank you for changing my life with clear vision!"—Katya P.T.
I highly recommend Porter Ophthalmology for anyone considering LASIK or cataracts in the Triangle area! I had my LALEX SMILE surgery exactly one week ago performed by Dr. Porter, who was very thorough with the entire process from pre-op measurements to explaining step-by-step the procedure while it was occurring. His calm voice was very reassuring during the 15-minute surgery and I had a comfortable experience. I could immediately see right away and came back the next morning for post-op. Now, a week later, my vision is crystal clear! Thank you to Dr. Porter, Yesi, and staff for such a welcoming environment. Thank you for changing my life with clear vision!
See Beyond the Myths About LASIK
Myth
Fact
LASIK is the only vision correction procedure besides cataract surgery.
No, there are seven unique visions and lens procedures (LASIK, PRK, EVO ICL, LALEX SMILE, RLE, Monovision, and Cataract Surgery). Dr. Porter is the only Raleigh surgeon offering all seven options.
All LASIK providers are the same.
Surgical experience and expertise combined with the technology used matter. Dr. Porter is fellowship trained and double-board certified. He has vast experience and uses only the most advanced technology.
It doesn't matter whether a LASIK practice is privately owned or a corporate big box.
Privately owned practices don't use high pressure sales tactics to meet corporate quotas. At Porter, you get the best procedure for YOUR eyes.
I am too afraid to get LASIK.
We've walked thousands of patients who were nervous just like you through a procedure. Dr. Porter is very calming and patients say, "Why'd I wait so long."
I can't afford LASIK.
You'll actually pay more for a lifetime of contacts and glasses. We offer 0% financing and accept HSA and FSA.
