The combination of their advanced technology and the hospitality is what sets them aside. The diagnotics provided were detailed and they helped me make a pre-informed decision for my LASIK.
The level of care here really stands out compared to other clinics I visited. They took detailed measurements and explained why certain treatment options would work better for my eyes. The follow-up appointments were just as thorough as the consultation. Very professional team from beginning to end.
I appreciated how honest and straightforward the doctor was during my evaluation. Instead of pushing surgery immediately, they carefully reviewed whether I was truly a good candidate. That honesty gave me a lot of confidence in the clinic. The procedure went perfectly and my vision is now better than it has ever been.
The surgeon and staff made the entire process feel very smooth and professional. They explained both the benefits and realistic expectations before treatment, which I appreciated. The office is modern, clean, and very efficient. My night vision and overall clarity improved significantly after surgery.
Ok, so this is going to be a long review, but totally worth reading if you have horrible eyesight like I did.
I had horrible, horrible eyesight & if you're telling yourself you do too, wait till you hear my old prescription. 'cause I had to live over 10+ years with this degree listening to people with -1 or even -.5 tell me how bad their vision was. cue rolling eyes.
I was a -11 & -12 in my left & right eye respectively. Now you can gasp & go, "holy sh*t". that's right. I was pretty much blind. If I didn't have glasses or contacts in, my whole world was one giant blurry mess. I couldn't make out distinctive items & I sure as hell couldn't identify a human being from one another.
Funny enough, I never looked into laser eye surgery because I didn't know if I qualified. I originally went to TLC laser eye surgery (where they wasted my time and told me I would not qualify for laser eye surgery due to my high degree). So, I had to call around & actually ask clinics if they took in high degree patients. Spoiler alert, a lot of places do not due to the high risk factor involved with taking in high degree patients. You basically burn off a lot of your eye tissue to even get you to a better degree.
Now I wasn't expecting anything wild, but anything is better than what I was at. I finally called Liberty Laser Eye Center after reading a review about how this one patient with a high degree was able to get to -.75 after her surgery. She was just about the same degree set as me & was going on over a few years after surgery. Naturally, I had to call them & make sure they still took in patients with my degree.
Dr. Tanchel was so ready to work with me & to see what she could do for me. She never pressured me, but gave me a ton of information on the procedure itself. Spoiler alert - I went through with it. I could only qualify for PRK - which is the original laser eye surgery before LASIK came out. PRK is the procedure where they scrub the top layer of your eye ball & then shoot a laser into your eye. I will say during my procedure, I was pretty nervous. She put in numbing eye drops in my eyes & I had to wait a few minutes for it to set. Weirdest feeling to have your eyes numbed. I had my right eye done first & then my left. The system started recalibrating before they began on my left eye. Omgosh. So, so turns out the numbing drops don't last a long time. After the system recalibrated, they pulled me back into the room. I felt her scrub my eye ball, whooo, weirdest feeling ever. She thankfully put in extra drops in my eye & I felt so much more relief. Each eye took about a minute to complete & each time it just felt like I was looking into a red dot. Afterwards, I left a little blind. I could see right after for a split second before my vision went blurry.
I ended up sleeping in my closet for a whole week & that was nice. I was constantly tired & sleeping. If I was sleeping, I was putting in my medicated eye drops & regular eye drops to keep my eyes hydrated ('cause I just had them burned off by a laser.).
It's been over six years, and to say I am happy is understated. I am beyond thrilled that I can see. I am ecstatic that I can wake up in the middle night without being blind to my surroundings. I no longer need glasses/contacts to be able to see. y'all I can drive without any corrective lenses. it's amazing! highly recommend you contact Dr. Tanchel for an appointment.

At Liberty Laser Eye, near Tysons Corner Center and the Capital One Tower, we deliver Advanced PRK services in Tysons Corner, VA, for patients who want clear vision without glasses or contact lenses. PRK is a reliable laser vision correction option that does not require a corneal flap. We focus on safety, precision, and long-term visual results.
Our experienced eye care team uses advanced laser technology to provide consistent outcomes. If you are looking for a proven laser eye procedure, Advanced PRK may be a suitable option.
Advanced PRK is a laser procedure that corrects vision by reshaping the surface of the cornea. Since no flap is created, PRK can be ideal for patients with thinner corneas or specific eye conditions. The laser is carefully controlled to improve visual clarity.
PRK is effective for correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Each treatment plan is customized based on detailed eye exams. Our goal is to provide clear vision with a safe and reliable method.
We offer Advanced PRK because it provides dependable vision correction for many patients.
We are dedicated to delivering high-quality eye care with modern technology and clear communication. We guide you through each step of your vision correction journey.
Our Advanced PRK procedure is carefully performed for patient comfort.
Recovery after PRK takes place over time. We provide clear aftercare instructions to support proper healing. Mild discomfort or sensitivity may occur during early recovery. Vision gradually improves as the eye heals. Follow-up visits help monitor progress, and our team remains available to support you.
We proudly offer Advanced PRK services in Tysons Corner, VA. Contact Liberty Laser Eye today to book your consultation and take the first step toward clearer vision.
The average price of PRK surgery in the United States typically ranges from $1,500 to $2,500 per eye. This cost can vary based on the surgeon's experience, the technology used, and the geographic location. For patients in Northern Virginia, it is important to compare the total package price, which should include pre-operative exams, the procedure itself, and all necessary follow-up care. At Liberty Laser Eye Center, we emphasize that the final cost often reflects the quality of the technology and the surgeon's expertise. To help you evaluate your options, we recommend reading our article How To Choose Between LASIK Providers In Northern VA for a detailed comparison of local providers and what to look for in a comprehensive treatment plan.
The choice between PRK and LASIK depends entirely on your individual eye anatomy and lifestyle. PRK is often recommended for patients with thin corneas or dry eyes, as it does not create a corneal flap. While PRK has a longer initial recovery period with more discomfort, it avoids flap-related complications. LASIK offers faster visual recovery and less immediate discomfort. At Liberty Laser Eye Center, we determine the safest option through a comprehensive evaluation. For a detailed breakdown of the healing timeline for both procedures, please see our article How Long Does LASIK Recovery Really Take?. Ultimately, neither is universally "better"; the right choice is the one that provides the safest, most effective outcome for your specific eyes.
Patients with keratoconus are generally not candidates for PRK or any other laser vision correction procedure like LASIK. This is because keratoconus causes the cornea to thin and bulge into a cone shape, making it structurally unstable. Performing PRK on such a cornea could worsen the condition and lead to serious complications. Instead, the standard treatment for progressive keratoconus is corneal cross-linking, which strengthens the corneal tissue to prevent further deterioration. For a deeper understanding of how these treatments relate, you can read our internal article titled Corneal Cross-Linking With LASIK: When It’s Needed. At Liberty Laser Eye Center, we recommend a thorough evaluation to determine the safest path for your vision health.
