What Our Patients are Saying
Reviews of Liberty Laser Eye Center
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.

What Is Corneal Cross-linking?
Corneal Cross-linking is a medical procedure that strengthens the cornea by increasing collagen bonds within the eye. It is commonly used to treat conditions where the cornea becomes weak or thin.
This treatment helps stop further damage and stabilizes the shape of the cornea. Early treatment often leads to better long-term outcomes and helps preserve your current level of vision.
Why Corneal Cross-linking Is Important
Corneal Cross-linking plays a key role in protecting your vision. It focuses on stopping disease progression rather than only correcting vision.
Early treatment can prevent severe vision changes and reduce the need for future surgical procedures. It also helps maintain better eye structure and clarity over time.
