I cannot recommend this establishment enough for all your eye care needs! I recently received LASIK here in preparation for the military and my experience has been nothing but fantastic! Olivia and Dr. Schultz have been exceptionally accommodating in helping me achieve my goals by filling out the necessary paperwork and graciously scheduling me for multiple follow up appointments to document my vision acuity. Not only had they been accommodating but they are some of the most personal people, who make every visit exceptional and I left every time happy and satisfied. Since receiving the surgery I went from seeing with approximately 20/400 vision down to 20/10 vision, and the difference has been life changing. Finally, Dr. O'Day has exceptional talent, with the entire procedure being quick, practically painless, and a pleasant experience. Like I stated before, if you're considering getting LASIK or anything to do with your eyes I can't recommend a better place. If I were to do it over again I would choose Charleston Cornea & Refractive Surgery every time!
Response from the ownerHi Avery, Thank you so much for your 5-star review. We are thrilled to hear about positive experiences and appreciate your kind words. The Team @ Charleston Cornea & Refractive Surgery1st Opthamologist in 16 yrs to introduce himself upon entering the room and shake my hand. Ive seen 5 Feb to July of 2026. Dr. O'Day was also the first one to read my charts and intakes before entering the room with so much care that he retained the info. I was self referred and got in quickly thanks to his staff filling a cancellation and recognizing the urgency. Thank you Olivia. This is a practice that is passionate about helping their patients not only see better but to understand what they are experiencing which soothed anxieties that I did not realize I'd been holding in.... For the first time in months I know what is going on and I have hope. I am beyond grateful.
Response from the ownerHi Natalie, Thank you for your 5-star review. We pride ourselves on providing all patients with the highest quality of care. The Team @ Charleston Cornea & Refractive SurgeryCharleston Conea &Refractive Surgery was my second opinion and I'm so pleased that I took my husband there. They checked my husband eyes thoroughly, and showed us a video of his procedure, and afterwards the doctor explained to us the surgery step by step. Most importantly they didn't wasted our time, they was always checking him I truly felt we were the only people in the office, to say they were full with patients!
