Georgia Eye Institute

About Georgia Eye Institute

Georgia Eye Institute is a leading provider of LASIK eye surgery and other advanced eye care services in the Savannah area. Their pioneering surgeons and staff have been setting new standards in cataract surgery, lens implantation, retinal care, LASIK laser vision correction, glaucoma management, treatment for macular degeneration, corneal disease, and oculoplastic surgery for over two decades.

Georgia Eye Institute offers the most advanced technology available to enhance the safety, precision, and comfort of LASIK eye surgery, including All-Laser LASIK Technology. They were the first to bring this technology to the Savannah area, and they remain the only provider of this level of service between Jacksonville and Charleston. They use the Wavelight Allegretto Excimer Laser and FS200 Femtosecond Laser, which reduces the procedure time to minutes and allows the procedure to be completed without knives or blades ever touching the eye.

Their experienced refractive eye surgeons have even greater precision and control of the surgery, making the process of creating a flap safer and more predictable than standard microkeratomes using outdated suction and blade incisions. The Wavelight Excimer/FS200 Femtosecond Laser is the first suite designed specifically to perform surgery. The FS200 gives surgeons complete control for personalized treatment, precise, predictable procedures, and the most consistent results. The Wavelight laser features Perfect Pulse technology and a high-speed tracking system that makes it one of the safest, most precise, and effective optical lasers currently available.

Georgia Eye Institute has received several awards, including the Beacon of Hope award from the Georgia Lions Lighthouse in 2018 for their commitment to eye care for the uninsured in their community. They have multiple locations in Savannah, Pooler, and Bluffton Parkway, with on-site optical care centers that provide the highest quality prescription eyewear.

If you're considering LASIK eye surgery, Georgia Eye Institute's cutting-edge technology, experienced surgeons, and commitment to patient safety make them an excellent choice.

Patients are talking about:

Multiple patients spoke highly of their surgeons and reported tremendous improvement in vision after cataract and/or LASIK surgeries.
On the flip side, a few instances were reported of complications or conditions worsening after surgery, including one patient who saw a film develop behind the eye after cataract surgery, and another who had an issue following Lasik.
The majority of complaints did not pertain to medical outcomes, but rather to administrative issues; these included problems with scheduling, billing errors, poor handling of insurance, long waiting times for appointments and surgeries, and communication breakdowns.
The waiting times for surgery were particularly criticized, with one patient citing a gap of several months between the initial consultation and the earliest available surgery date.
Billing issues and misunderstandings about insurance coverage were also frequently mentioned.
