LASIK Testimonials
“I had LASIK done in both my eyes and the next day at my follow up I was seeing 20/20! I’ve been dealing with glasses or contacts since the 5th grade (I’m 30) and as I’ve gotten older, my eyes have become dry, making my contacts very uncomfortable. I don’t know what took me so long to finally do this! I’m not in any pain whatsoever. The waiting area at the surgery center was very comfortable, and every staff member at the Longview and Tyler location were exception! Thank you all!”
Dannielle S.
“I had my LASIK surgery Jan 12 and I am so excited to say that just one day after, I’m driving around without glasses! It’s an unbelievable feeling. I’ve worn glasses for 16 years and being able to walk out of the house without them is amazing. The whole experience deserves a 10. Thank you to all the staff and doctors for this wonderful experience!”
Paloma R.
“Dr. Hardin did my LASIK. The day after I had 20/15 vision – it is a great feeling knowing I don’t have to deal with corrective lenses anymore!”

“I had an excellent experience at Heaton! From the first free exam to getting me in the car after the surgery, everything was top-notch! I especially liked their surgery center which was dimly lit, and super relaxing and plush. One of the things that stood out to me, was Dr. Nickel asking if he could have a short prayer with me before the surgery. It was a very gracious and personable gesture. I am now seeing 20/15! I will definitely be recommending them to all who will listen. Thank you!”

“I recently had LASIK with Dr. Heaton and cannot express how great my vision is now! The process was very thorough and I felt comfortable the whole time. Thanks to the wonderful staff that always had smiles on and were genuinely considerate with all of my needs. I would HIGHLY recommend Heaton Eye Associates to anyone that is remotely interested in having LASIK surgery done. It’s a very fast and painless procedure that will last me a lifetime!”

What Our Patients Are Saying About our Doctors
“I’ve needed glasses since my college days, and they have made it more difficult to play sports and limited my life in general. I wanted to be free from the restriction of glasses! I chose Heaton Eye Associates because they had great reviews, and as a doctor myself, I trusted Dr. Muirhead – we both graduated from the same medical school!”

“After my husband had such an amazing experience with Dr. Nickel, I decided to take the leap too! From the first visit to the surgery, I’ve met some of the kindest and most professional eye care pros. As a cherry on top of a great experience, Dr. Nickel prayed with me before surgery. I highly recommend Heaton Eye Associates!”

“My experience with Heaton has been absolutely amazing! The staff and doctor made me feel like part of the family. They kept me comfortable and worry free during my procedure. Dr. Hardin walked me through all the steps while I was having my LASIK so I felt completely safe, and there was no pain at all. I’m so happy with my decision!”

Don’t Take Our Word For It… See It Live
My longtime optometrist, Ron Smith, recommended Todd Nickel at Heaton for my cataract surgery. It was with this sense of confidence that I proceeded.
The entire process was clearly laid out, cost was detailed and after choosing the lens that I wanted (option 3) we set the appointments and got started.
I must say that literally everyone that I came into contact with, from the prep and support staff, to the doctors involved were professional, kind, always willing to answer any question and obviously engaged in making the process flow smoothly.
When my eyes did have an issue (floaters), there was a simple and planned answer to handle the issue.
At the end of the journey, I do not have to use glasses, my eye sight is really good... and knowing what I know now, I would make the same choices again. The Heaton Eye Team is wonderful.
The attention to patients is their #1 desire. To meet this requirement there maybe some delay getting to you. However once you are assigned an examination room the flow picks up.
Dr. Charles Heaton has been my specialist close to 27 years and I trust his expertise and judgement.
Recently I was transferred to Dr. Gunther and I’m equally happy being under her care.
Much better experience this time than in the past. I wish all of the tests could be done in one room though. I felt like we were playing musical rooms!
