I had lens replacement therapy on right eye. The staff and Dr. Coleman Kraff have been outstanding. They have taken time to listen and explain all options and map everything out. The vision is back to 20/20 in right eye. I can’t thank the Kraff Eye Institute enough!

Great customer service and great job on my eyes. I can see better than I could with glasses or contacts!!
Amazing results with great people. Was happy with the process. I would definitely recommend.
Very professional and safe! I felt comfortable through the entire procedure.
The technician was fine but one of the receptionists was so rude that it ruined the experience. Hope she is let go as she does not know how to provide good customer service.
Had a great experience and couldn’t be happier wih my new vision!!

I had a fantastic experience getting Lasik here at Kraff Eye Institute. I would recommend all day.
Excellent experience, excellent surgeon, excellent staff. Not much more to say, eyes were in great hands. Extremely satisfied with outcome.
Even though I am in a journey of healing and down the road my eye sight is going to improve. I can already read without glasses and my far sight is going to get better with healing and time. …
I got lasik here and it turned out amazing! Very happy with the results and was very pleased with the service at Kraff.
I did lasik with Dr Kraff 18 months ago, it changed my life, everything has been an amazing journey, I recommend this 100%
Got laser eye surgery a year ago here 10/10 experience. Highly recommend and his team are awesome!
My experience was wonderful at the Kraff Eye Institute and I would recommend anyone that I know to utilize them for their Lasik Surgery!
Dr. Kraff and his entire team were fantastic. Everything through my 1 month follow up was exactly as expected. I couldn’t be happier.
They made what could have been a scary experience completely manageable. I hope I never have to have Lasik again, but if I did, I’d go back to Kraff.
I received excellent care from Dr. Kraff and his team. Life without contacts and glasses has been a total game changer.
Lovely doctors, they took the time to answer any questions I had. The entire Lasik process was very quick and it’s amazing to be able to see without glasses, I even ended up with 20/15 vision.
Dr. Kraff and his team are impeccable in the way they explain and guide you through the process.Their bedside manner keeps you at ease and confident from consultation through post-exam. Highly recommend!
All of the staff here are super friendly and professional. They cared for me and my vision through normal check ups, pre/post op exams, and a PRK surgery. Could not be happier with the results.
An amazing experience. Incredible staff. I couldn’t be more pleased with my results and the entire process.
I went from not being able to see the big “E” on the eye chart (or past my own face really) to having 20/15 vision in both eyes within 24 hours. Life-changing… better than I could have imagined. Thank you, Dr. Kraff!
Had an amazing experience here. I was really on the fence and it was very professional, affordable and INCREDIBLE results. This was easily one of the best decisions of my life and I could not be happier. If you are on the fence, you have nothing to lose but your glasses.
Really great experience with Dr. Kraff and team. Made me feel safe and comfortable the whole time and greatly appreciated being talked through the entire surgery as it was happening so I knew what to expect.
Dr Kraff and his staff are amazing, everyone is so nice and they walk you through the entire process I was so nervous they helped calm me down, Dr Kraff is the ultimate professional he is the Michael Jordan of Lasik your are truly in Good hands when you go to the Kraff Eye institute!!!
I have gone here before and been satisfied. However, today I waited 35 minutes to see a doctor and I gave up. When I asked to reschedule, there were no apologies; no one asked to see what is happening and when I might be called in; no one …
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!
I’d like to preface by saying that this is my honest unbiased opinion, and review throughout after visiting the Kraff Eye Institute for my initial consultation with Dr. Kraff to determine whether I am a good candidate for the LASIK …
Overall Great experience! Staff was friendly and knowledgable. All my questions were answered and email responses were quick! Dr. Kraff was available and personable. Definitely recommend the Kraff Eye Institute!
Couldn’t have asked for a better Lasik experience. Professional staff, excellent post-op care with the surgeon present at every appointment. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking about Lasik!
Dr. Kraft is amazing! His care of me when I had my PRK a few yrs ago was absolutely the best! Hands down by far the best at what he does. So glad I selected him to perform my surgery.
Fantastic experience absolutely love the fact that I can now see 20/20 Dr Kraff made sure he did everything he could to keep me comfortable. I was a bit nervous before the surgery but so glad I did it and so glad Dr Kraff was the one who did it.
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.
Had lasik 3 days ago. Amazing. Last week I couldn’t read a menu in a restaurant without a flashlight. Or I’d have to have someone read it to me or take it into the bathroom. The day after the procedure I was in a dim restaurant reading the …
This was probably the best decision I’ve made for myself. Dr Kraff and his staff are really knowledgeable and Take the time to answer all your questions. Everything about pre and post surgery were clearly explained to me and I’m incredibly happy with the results.
I had an amazing and really positive experience with my LASIK at Kraff Eye! Dr.Kraff and his staff was extremely helpful throughout the process.
I would not go ANYWHERE else but Kraff Eye Institute. The staff was welcoming, very professional and Dr. Kraff made the experience as comfortable as possible! My life has been changed in the best way possible.
Very thorough exams during evaluation and prior to procedure. Treatment went as planned and was completed in a timely manner. Professional all the way during the process. Would highly recommend Dr. Colman Kraff and all at the Kraff eye institute.

Thank you Dr. Kraff and his team! The procedure was very easy and effective. Clear visions make my everyday life more enjoyable
I advise avoiding this business.

I’m a little late on this but reviews weren’t a thing when I got my eye fixed. This man is amazing and a huge supporter of Veterans!!! THANK YOU DR. Kaff
There has been many challenges sence I’ve been back, but not being able to see …
Dr. Kraff and his staff are amazing. They take great care of you, and Dr. Kraff treats you like you’re just as important as any of the celebrities whose photos are on his walls. I had terrible eyesight, and it’s like magic. I can see!
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.
Yesterday I went for my one month follow up since PRK with Dr. Coleman Kraff, and for the first time since I was in second grade was told I have 20/20 vision. My prescription pre-surgery was -8.5. It’s literally a miracle! I am incredibly …

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.
Dr. Coleman Kraff successfully completed my lasik 20 years ago. Not only is he is simply the best eye surgeon available, he is also an incredible human being. I’m 50 today, but I remember at 30 trying to switch careers from teaching to the …
My experience at the Kraff Eye Institute was phenomenal. Each appointment was smooth and every step of the procedure was clearly explained. The LASIK operation itself was so fast, and after resting for the remainder of the day, I could see …
Incredibly positive experience from Dr Kraff and team! From the initial consultation to the follow-ups, everybody was incredibly helpful and informative. I love waking up with perfect vision now and the recovery time has been much quicker than expected.

I was rapidly losing my vision from age 37 to 41. I was tired of reinvesting in …
The team was amazing and made me feel comfortable the whole time I was there. They walked me through the whole procedure and took ever measure to make sure I was comfortable. If you plan on getting eye surgery anytime soon this is the place to get it!
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.

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.
Getting LASIK was the coolest thing I’ve ever done for myself, hands down. I was really starting to hate wearing daily contacts. They were bothering my eyes and I could feel them making my eyes drier than normal. At the same time I was …
Almost 10 years ago, Dr. Coleman Kraff performed Lasik surgery on both my eyes. The procedure was completely painless and I had no anxiety due to the way Dr. Kraff spoke to me through the entire procedure. I would almost call it …

I don’t often leave reviews, but Dr. Kraff and his team are outstanding. They helped me through the entire process in an extremely professional manner. Dr. Kraff is very hands on and knowledgeable.

I couldn’t be happier with my Lasik experience with Dr. Kraff and his staff. The pre-op was very thorough, and he even wrote me a script for regular glasses since I only had contact lenses and you need to be out of them for a couple of …
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!
I’m happy with my vision and Dr. Kraff is great, but some of the staff needs diversity training. I will not tolerate ever being misgendered, and was misgendered here at least twice (once on my way into surgery by the guy about to assist the doctor). Be respectful or don’t talk to me.
Great experience, very happy with the results!
I’m a few months out from getting lasik at Kraff and am very happy with the …

Such a wonderful experience start to finish. I never went to another consultation after meeting with Dr. Kraff. Surgery was easy and I felt like I was his only patient. I have never had good vision and now, less than 2 weeks after the procedure I have 20/15. Life changing decision and I couldn’t be happier.

Dr. Kraff has done a bazillion Lasik procedures, so you can confidently trust your eyes with him. I couldn’t recommend these guys more.
Dr. Kraff is simply one of the best. My post-PRK recovery was completely pain free with very minimal discomfort, and I was 20/20 within 8 days. The staff is very friendly, professional, and thorough in its screening. I could not have asked for a better experience!

I know there are cheaper places to get it done. But why fool around with your eyesight being cheap. My Lasik was well worth every penny!
I love Dr. Kraff! I had lasik eye surgery done about a month ago and it was honestly one of the best decisions I have ever made. Thanks to Dr. Kraff and his team, this was such a great and positive experience from start to finish. If you want the best, you should look no other place then Kraff.
