Reviews of Kraff Eye Institute
Anastasia Stanger
I recently had Lasik last week and WOW!! Kraff Eye Institute was AMAZING! I highly recommend them. Dr. Kraff and his team walk you through everything during your procedure and make you feel comfortable. I wish I did this years ago!

I did my eye surgery with Dr. Kraff and so far I am very satisfied with the quality of the medical service. The surgery itself was not as scary and painful as I expected. 5 starts for this part of the service.
My very big disappointment is on the side of the billing department (I believe the name of the manager is Debby). During my first consultation I was verbally promised by them one price for the service, but a few months after the surgery they sent me a significantly larger bill. After I politely asked them to check whether the bill is correct and take into account their own price information - they did not even try to check the bill and denied any prior verbal statements they made to me. Overall, it was not professional and respectful to name one price and then charge a larger one.

One week later, I’m so glad I got Lasik at Kraff Eye Institute. Perfect vision and healing so well. 10/10 recommend going to Dr. Kraff. Amazing staff and easy recovery. Next day I was back to normal.
Margarita Plantin
I’m so grateful that I found Kraff Eye Institute and Dr. Colman Kraff. I’ve been thinking about doing LASIK for three years and I finally decided that 2020 is the year. It’s a life changing procedure, so I wanted to make sure I choose the best LASIK eye surgeon in Chicago, and then I found Dr. Colman Kraff. He is a true master of his craft and a pioneer in LASIK surgery. Dr. Kraff also cares about safety, and we ended up doing PRK surgery instead, because it was the safest option in my case. Many thanks to Dr. Colman Kraff, James and Kraff Eye Institute’s staff for making my life better. It’s a miracle!
Sam S.
I had Lasik on one eye four months ago. The procedure itself was smooth and the attention paid in post-op visits could not be better. Dr. Kraff is professional and polite but not cold. The nurses were great in keeping me calm prior to the procedure. Thanks so much!
Devetta Smith
I just had Lasik surgery on 1/14/22 and is so pleased. I was totally impressed with Kraff Eye Institute. They thoroughly tested my eyes to make sure the numbers were consistent. The staff was professional and very knowledgeable and Dr. Kraff was great! He made me feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend Lasik surgery, but even more so recommend Kraff Eye Institute is the place to get it done. No regrets!
Kevin Fik
Would highly recommend getting LASIK done here! Dr. Kraff is such an expert that it's no wonder their celebrity clientele trusts him. Always felt in safe hands
Herryfrd
If you’ve been thinking about it, stop thinking and jump in with Kraff. They make it such an easier process. By far the most polished medical facility process I’ve been, ever, period.
Tamara “BossLady” Anderson
In 2019 i had cataract removed from left eye and i was very satisfied. In January 2022 I had cataract removed from right eye and i must say it feels amazing to be able to see again out both eyes. Dr. Kraff is an awesome doctor and i will recommend his services.
Eric Shipman
Always friendly, kind and professional from the first appointment, through consultation, surgery, and follow up; the staff at Kraff Eye Institute have been amazing. They made what could have been a stressful and intimidating process easy to understand and surprisingly comfortable. Dr. Kraff is gentle and easy to trust. He was understanding and patient with my questions and concerns. The procedure and recovery were as he described, and all of the staff made it as comfortable as possible I offer a strong recommendation for Kraff Eye Institute.
Rachel Albrecht
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Kraff and the staff at Kraff Eye Institute. The whole experience of getting Lasik done was easy from start to finish. Recovery was quick and seamless. I was seeing 20/15 the day after the procedure. It’s only been two weeks since I got Lasik done, but it has completely changed my life. Dr. Kraff and his staff are beyond caring, thoughtful, thorough, and trustworthy. I would recommend anyone I know interested in Lasik to go to Dr. Kraff in the future. Thank you so much, Dr. Kraff!
Ryan
One of the best decisions I've ever made. I see better now than I did with glasses or contacts. The surgery was painless and I felt Doctor Kraff was way more experienced than most. Every time I go into the office for a follow up I meet with the doctor who actually did the surgery. Overall, I was very pleased and his staff was great.
Ami Pandya
I chose Kraff Eye Institute for my LASIK surgery and I could not be happier. Dr. Kraff has years of experience, which has really made him one of the best in his field. His team is knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone took the time to answer all my questions. The procedure was fast and the recovery was easier than I ever imagined. I wish I had done LASIK sooner with Kraff. I have already recommended my family and friends to Dr. Kraff.
Stephanie Arnold
Absolutely love the results of my Lasik!!! All the staff were amazing especially Larry!! Larry helped me every step of the way and answered all my questions. The entire experience was as smooth as could be. Erica, Pam and James were great as well! They made me feel comfortable for the entire procedure process. I was nervous and they helped me stay calm and informed the whole time. It definitely is nowhere near as bad as your mind makes you think. Dr Kraff was great and did a wonderful job! I would do it all again!
David Harrison
Dr. Kraff and his staff are fantastic. From my initial consultation I could tell my eyes were in the hands of a knowledgeable and proficient team. My Lasik surgery went smoothly and I am very happy I trusted my eyes to Dr. Kraff.
Christopher Brown
I couldn’t be happier with the results of my PRK operation by Dr. Colman Kraff. I’m reviewing well over 3 years from my operation and everything is absolutely perfect. It was a little disconcerting immediately after the operation and the recovery period because your vision does CONSIDERABLY decrease for a little while but after that my vision is perfect. I had 20/10 (better than 20/20) vision as a child and adolescent, went through astigmatism at around age 20 and had to wear glasses and/or contacts. After the PRK operation I was again able to attain 20/10 vision. Dr. Colman Kraff is one of the most, and I mean the most, experienced physicians in laser eye treatment in the world.
steve c
Dr. Kraff is who doctors go to when they need LASIK. His national and international reputation is well-deserved. Cutting-edge technology combined with decades of experience and a caring, knowledgeable staff have given perfect vision to tens of thousands of patients. Kraff Eye Institute is one of the "Top 5 Reasons to Visit Chicago!" LASIK AT ITS FINEST - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Juan Gonzalez
Dr. Kraff is the best in the business. The results are so amazing that I should have done this years ago. His staff is very well organized and they do a wonderful job of explaining the process and what to expect. I couldn't be happier with my decision to go with Dr. Kraff. My brother recommended him to me and I recommend him to anyone that is looking to get Lasik surgery.
Erica Maddox
Having Lasik done by Dr. Kraff is easily one of the best decisions I've ever made. From my first office visit to see if I was a candidate to the post-surgery follow-up, my experience with Dr. Kraff and his team was perfect. The office runs like a well-oiled machine; busy and efficient, but never chaotic. Everyone was kind, well-informed, and professional. I never felt rushed, and always felt that everyone I met took all the time to answer my questions and give me all the detail about the procedure. Dr. Kraff was consistently very thorough and kind, and provided me all of the information I needed. My husband, who comes from a family of doctors, put it perfectly he said that was the best medical experience he had ever seen, from start to finish.
The procedure itself was so quick and easy, and Dr. Kraff and the nurses were very kind and considerate, constantly checking how I was doing and saying encouraging things. I woke up the next morning with 20/15 vision - seriously life changing. I couldn't be happier with my new eyes and new life! Thank you, Dr. Kraff and team!
For anyone considering Lasik, I would try to get a late afternoon/evening slot, if possible, so you can go home and just sleep. Waking up the next morning with perfect vision is one of the best experiences ever.
Dave Leone
Had an excellent experience at Kraff. They are super professional. The surgery day was very organized. The outcome of my procedure (LASIK) could not be better. I now have 20/15 vision and 3 weeks out have no significant side effects. Would highly recommend this office for any corrective eye needs.
Anthony Fantasia
I could not recommend Dr. Kraff and his team enough. I was scheduled to have LASIK surgery at another eye institution, but after thorough research and reading endless reviews, I ultimately decided to postpone my procedure until I could have it performed at Kraff Eye Institute. Given this was a procedure on my eyes, I wanted to have it done where I felt most comfortable and had nothing but confidence in the team carrying out the procedure. After my initial consultation, Dr. Kraff recommended PRK and did so, as he felt it was the safest option for my eyes. I am four weeks post surgery and very happy with how my recovery is progressing. Dr. Kraff has answered all my question throughout the process and spent the time to give me proper guidance and assurances both in advance of the procedure and afterwards. Every visit, I have been impressed with the efficiency and friendliness of the office staff and their continual support. I live outside of the U.S. and had many options for where to have my procedure done, but very thankful I chose the Kraff Eye Institute!
Jake Anderson
Very welcoming and talented staff. Dr. Kraff is very good at what he does, I was lifting the very next day with 20/15 vision in both eyes. My only regret is not doing it sooner. Cannot recommend the Kraff Eye team enough!
Stephanie
Everything is so easy and streamlined about working with Kraff. Everyone I spoke with was kind and knowledgable and I was able to breeze through the Lasik consultation, prep, operation and post-op. They executed everything flawlessly and considered all the details that go along with it. My eyesight is now 20/15 (better than 20/20) and I couldn't be happier with my results. I was told Kraff was the best before I went to him and now I can agree; highly recommend!
Latoi Thomas
I love Dr. Kraff! I had lasik eye surgery done about a month ago and it was honestly one of the best decisions I have ever made. Thanks to Dr. Kraff and his team, this was such a great and positive experience from start to finish. If you want the best, you should look no other place then Kraff.
Allison Adams Lewis
Absolutely wonderful. The staff is professional and friendly, Larry is great! I was out done when he remembered my name a week later. Dr. Kraff is top notch. I highly recommend them. I know there are cheaper places to get it done. But why fool around with your eyesight being cheap. My Lasik was well worth every penny!
Sarah Lill
My expereience at Kraff Eye was wonderful! I've been there 3 times in the last week for my PRK surgery and follow up appointments. They are patient kind and want to give you the best experience possible. Dr. Kraff is calm and helps you stay relaxed before, during and after your surgery. I'm happy with my experience and would highly reccommend them for your vision correction surgery.
Mengchi Perry
Such a GREAT experience. I was definitely scared walking in and not sure what to expect. all the exams are very thorough and well explained to me. Dr. Kraff himself review the report and evaluate me himself before and after the surgery. I wasn't handed it off. Also, I love the fact the operation room has a glass side that your family/friend can watch the operation from the other side. Dr. Kraff is very very patient and explained details even I had my surgery on a Saturday 9am schedule.
I also had another consultation at LASIK PLUS. While Lasik plus is cheaper. I also didn't feel they care as much as if i am just another procedure they are trying to get in and out quickly.
Forgot to mention, Kraff gives student discount for the Lasik surgery.
Parag Adatia
Dr. Kraff is simply one of the best. My post-PRK recovery was completely pain free with very minimal discomfort, and I was 20/20 within 8 days. The staff is very friendly, professional, and thorough in its screening. I could not have asked for a better experience!
Greg Weingarden
Kraff is 100% the place to go if you're considering getting Lasik done in the Chicago area. From start to finish, the whole process was easy, pain-free, and comfortable. Dr. Kraff has done a bazillion Lasik procedures, so you can confidently trust your eyes with him. I couldn't recommend these guys more.
Christina Hannigan
I am thrilled with the results of my Lasik surgery! I've worn glasses/contacts since I was 9 (40 years) and have not been a candidate for Lasik until now.
The staff was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. They answered every question I had, walked me step by step through what I would expect, and even had an online video I needed to watch before the procedure. During the procedure, I was told everything that would happen. They counted down each step so I could manage my expectations. No pain at all, just some 'odd feelings' which they explained.
My follow up has been wonderful. My vision is crisp and my healing is going well.
Highly recommended, have referred several people to Kraff Eye Institute, and will continue to have my eyes cared for here. Thank you so very much!
Matthew Debelak
I couldn’t be happier with my experience at the Kraff Eye Institute. When I called about exploring the option of LASIK, they were able to get me in right away. During my initial visit everyone was very nice, the staff was extremely thorough with testing my vision and at the end of the appointment I met Dr. Kraff. He was very friendly and answered all of my questions. During the entire process, I didn’t feel pressured to commit to LASIK and that was reassuring because it is expensive. Luckily BCBSIL gave me a little discount. The day of the procedure Dr. Kraff’s team did additional tests to ensure the initial results were still valid. Despite being nervous for the procedure, it was incredibly easy and painless. Recovery was just as easy. After the procedure I feel asleep and when I woke up my vision was good as new. One major compliment I have to give Dr. Kraff is that he noticed my wife was very anxious during the procedure but after every step he gave her a thumbs up. Its the little things like that that make a huge difference. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my eyes. I highly recommend Dr. Kraff and everyone on his team.
Adrianne Rosenbluth
Dr. Kraff is very skilled. I was nervous, but he was able to talk me through the procedure. I got PRK and my vision is great. It’s amazing to no longer need contacts. Additionally, the entire staff at the Kraff Eye Institute is professional and friendly.
Lacey Mizell
Such a wonderful experience start to finish. I never went to another consultation after meeting with Dr. Kraff. Surgery was easy and I felt like I was his only patient. I have never had good vision and now, less than 2 weeks after the procedure I have 20/15. Life changing decision and I couldn’t be happier.
Adam Greenberg
From the second I walked in for my first appointment to see if I was a candidate for LASIK and all the way through surgery and follow up visits, Dr Kraff and his entire staff were professional every step of the way and right on point. An incredible operation and the 20/15 vision I now have speaks volumes. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.
A F
I knew when I first came to Kraff 30 yrs ago that if I ever decided to get lasik surgery, this is where I’d come. Everything about the practice is top-notch; most importantly Dr. Colman Kraff himself, and his infinite experience and knowledge.
Blake Levit
Kraff Eye Institute is 5 shining stars all the way because of he service, professionalism, and overall team that delivers a perfect eye sight. Doctor Kraff & Co (James, Larry, Pam, Laura, Debbie) are a super group of Lasik doctors and team member that deliver an A+ Lasik Eye experience. Larry is such a great guy and welcomes you with a smile. James is through and you know you are in good hands as he has worked at Kraff for around a decade. Pam, Laura and Debbie are also wonderful. I was recommended for PRK and what was promised was delivered. I was very happy with the communication and how comfortable I felt at Kraff because Lasik surgery can make you nervous and I was definitely feeling the nerves. I am SO HAPPY that I went with Kraff and recommend them to the rest of Chicagoland. Doctor Kraff is an award winning doctor and the team doctor for the Bears so you know he has the experience and expertise to deliver a superior surgery. I also live in the same building as west Loop eye care who handles post op and they are the best and recommend Kraff. Thank you!!
Erin Shumway
Eyesight is so critical and you have to go to the best to make sure it is done right. Dr. Kraff listened to my concerns about not being able to read if they fully corrected my -3.75 in both eyes (I was wearing contacts for distance and reading glasses with the contacts to read) and had me try Mono Vision for a couple of days (with contacts) to see if that was right for me. Lasik went beautifully and I can now see distance and read with no glasses or contacts. Their first concern is safety and to protect your eyesight and if I could give them 10 stars I would. The whole team there is amazing and Dr. Kraff makes magic happen.
eva penzeymoog
Great experience, very happy with the results!
I'm a few months out from getting lasik at Kraff and am very happy with the results. The staff was great and Dr. Kraff himself was extremely competent and put all my anxieties to rest.
Chrystiana Jones
I’m happy with my vision and Dr. Kraff is great, but some of the staff needs diversity training. I will not tolerate ever being misgendered, and was misgendered here at least twice (once on my way into surgery by the guy about to assist the doctor). Be respectful or don’t talk to me.
Adam Singer
Dr. Kraff and his staff were nothing short of spectacular. HIGHLY recommend using his services for LASIK. The results are absolutely incredible - I now have 20/15 vision and recommend this procedure to anyone who is thinking about this!
Marco Casillas
I couldn't be happier with my Lasik experience with Dr. Kraff and his staff. The pre-op was very thorough, and he even wrote me a script for regular glasses since I only had contact lenses and you need to be out of them for a couple of weeks prior to surgery. The team was very thorough in explaining everything prior to the surgery and on the day of leaving me with no anxiety when I walked in or sat in the chair. I was in and out in about an hour and seeing crystal clear after a 6 hour nap. I think total time under the laser was 31 seconds! All follow-ups have been great and a year later I still see clearer than I ever did with contacts/glasses. I would recommend Dr. Kraff to anyone looking to ditch glasses/contacts and for eye exams, glasses, contacts, etc as well.
Ada Espino
I would highly recommend Dr. Kraff. He came recommended to me by two peers who were very satisfied with the outcome of their Lasik procedure. Dr. Kraff did excellent work on my eyes and the results were immediate. I think the last time I was able to see this well for distance was my pre-teen years! I use readers for up-close, mostly because of my age, but my vision and astigmatism has improved to the point where I could now drive during a very sunny day with more confidence and the glare of carlights at night do not blind me. I am very grateful and happy. I would highly recommend.
Jarek
I just had lasik in February. Dr. Kraff was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Explained the entire procedure as it was happening to keep my mind off it. I had blurry vision for about an hour but on the train ride home it started to improve. After I woke up the next day, I could see perfectly. I put drops in constantly and my eyes healed fast. Within two or three weeks I could see perfectly and have no halos or any problems like dry eyes. My advice go here! use those drops and you will have perfect vision!
Allan Brener
I don’t often leave reviews, but Dr. Kraff and his team are outstanding. They helped me through the entire process in an extremely professional manner. Dr. Kraff is very hands on and knowledgeable. He uses the latest methods and has decades of experience. PRK was life changing and my only regret is not doing it sooner!
Katie Stohs
This was the best purchase of my life!! I did a ton of research prior to choosing Kraff, and I am so glad I ended up in his care. He is so professional, calm, and reassuring. I was very nervous/emotional during the procedure and he guided me through with ease. I’m one month out and so ecstatic with the results! Stop waiting and get your perfect vision already.
Scott Himmel
Almost 10 years ago, Dr. Coleman Kraff performed Lasik surgery on both my eyes. The procedure was completely painless and I had no anxiety due to the way Dr. Kraff spoke to me through the entire procedure. I would almost call it pleasant. I was about to turn 50 at the time and had worn glasses since 2nd grade and hard contact lenses for over 40 years. I woke up the next morning and felt like I had been given the gift of comfortable clear sight, for the 1st time in my life. I have enjoyed that gift every day since. These are marvelous people as well as exceptional doctors.
Maria Tamburrino
Getting LASIK was the coolest thing I've ever done for myself, hands down. I was really starting to hate wearing daily contacts. They were bothering my eyes and I could feel them making my eyes drier than normal. At the same time I was becoming more aware of my waste and hated throwing out and recycling the daily containers, daily! After speaking with my eye doctor, she referred me to Kraff Eye Institute. I went in for a consultation and decided that it was the right time for me to get LASIK. They used multiple machines to determine if I was a good candidate for LASIK, and I met with Dr. Kraff to discuss my options. They ruled me a good fit for LASIK and I decided it was time! All the prep I had to do was visit my eye doctor for a final examination to see what my prescription is and had me get medicine before surgery.
The day of surgery went so smoothly! I checked- in and paid. They did final tests to make sure they had the right prescription. Gave me some Valium, and went into the other room for the procedure. The procedure took 15 minutes total. The only discomfort I had was them keeping my eyes open, but besides that I was told to stare at a red dot. They walked me through the entire procedure and made me feel very comfortable. My husband was able to watch in the viewing room. Afterwards, they gave us an explanation of what we needed to do and sent us on our way! I was in and out of the building in 3 hours.
My only recommendation is that they did say it was okay to take an Uber home, but I don't recommend doing that because there was no way I wanted to look at my phone right after surgery and deal with trusting someone I don't know to get me home. Between the Valium and me wanting to go to sleep, I really didn't want to walk around Chicago by myself. LASIK also costs a lot more than the ads on Groupon or Facebook say. If you want to have a trusted doctor handle your procedure, especially with your eyes, Kraff Eye Institute is the way to go! I've been bragging to my friends and family about LASIK since I've gotten it and I couldn't be happier with the results. I have 20-15 vision!
Sarah La Voi
I went here for Lasik with Dr. Kraff. The experience was top notch from the support team to the doctor. The team answered all of my questions and was patient and professional. They have this procedure down - efficient and organized. I am very grateful for my 20/20 vision after wearing contacts for years.
Isolda Davila
Very pleasant experience. Friendly staff who make patients feel at ease beginning from the first day of the evaluation. I left feeling like I made an appointment for a fun and relaxing experience.
Still healing but I feel it was a successful outcome and trying to convince my husband to have it done as well.
Ashley Mell
I had Lasik done on March 31. I went into my consult thinking I would do multiple consults and pick the best out of the options but after my consult with Dr. Kraff and his team, I left with an appointment scheduled to have the procedure completed. The team did a great job of answering my questions and reassuring me (as we're ALL nervous....its your freaking EYES people!). My eyes healed perfectly and Dr. Kraff did a great job directing me through the procedure. The only thing I wish they would have done differently was explain the actual steps of the procedure a bit better. You go from one room to a second where the lasering actually takes place and it threw me off. I thought something was wrong initially until the tech explained the steps. I Had no pain, just normal, excessive watering the night of and next morning and some light sensitivity which both subsided by the evening the next day. I now have 20/20 vision and only use drops in the mornings and at night when I remember. I debated going to a more budget friendly Lasik Clinic but am extremely happy that I chose Kraff instead. Highly recommended!
Anna Dubinsky
This was the first and only place I went to in my search for Lasik. The staff was SO nice and friendly. During my first consultation, the doctor I spoke with was extremely knowledgeable and answered every single one of my questions, even though some of them were probably silly, with complete professionalism and did not make me feel stupid for asking all the small detailed questions I was curious about. I was still very nervous to get Lasik for all the normal reasons of having surgery and possible risks, but I decided to go through with it. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE. My vision is amazing. I can literally see everything. I haven't watched TV or driven at night without my glasses in years, and I literally feel like someone gave me new eyes. The surgery was quick, Dr. Kraff made me feel so comfortable. He talked me through the whole process before and during the surgery so I knew what was going on. It was an overall extremely positive and pleasant experience and I am so happy I went through with it. I would HIGHLY recommend Kraff Eye Institute and Lasik. Everyone is so friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, which is exactly what I was looking for in a doctor.
Brenda R.
I am so happy that I came across Kraff Eye Institute. We all want Lasik but are too afraid to get it. I kept putting it off because I was so nervous/scared but so WORTH it. When I went for my consultation I knew instantly this would be the place! They made me feel so comfortable and felt so much better about the procedure. It’s been 2 weeks since I got lasik and I am so amazed how I am able to see again. (I was able to see right away by the way) no pain during or after. Highly recommend!
Courtney Rioux
I loved working with the Kraff Eye Institute for my Lasik surgery. I had horrible eye-sight. I went from a -8 and -7 contact prescription to perfect vision! I can't believe it. Highly recommend them.
Sarah Hodges
The team was amazing and made me feel comfortable the whole time I was there. They walked me through the whole procedure and took ever measure to make sure I was comfortable. If you plan on getting eye surgery anytime soon this is the place to get it!
Jennifer W
Stop looking for an eye surgeon - Dr. Kraff is the best.
I was rapidly losing my vision from age 37 to 41. I was tired of reinvesting in new glasses. I went to several Lasik clinics that ran me through like cattle and misdiagnosed the problem. I was not Lasik eligible.
Every doctor kept telling me that scars on my eyes prevented Lasik. I was told that I had Salzmanns Degenerative Eye Disease. No doctor offered solutions beyond glasses. (I have a young child and I wanted to be able to play with her without worrying about my glasses knocking off or breaking.)
I also have a professional job and my eyes are my livelihood. I was not willing to experiment with someone that I did not fully trust and many doctors seemed too busy to spend more than two seconds to determine if they could do Lasik or not. No doctor looked for creative solutions or invested any thought beyond whether they were getting paid for Lasik.
My whole life changed with Dr. Kraff. His staff spent ample time with me and ran several tests. It was clear from my first consultation that they were head and shoulders above the rest. The way they treat patients and their knowledge base is unmatched by anyone.
He easily and correctly diagnosed Salzmann's disease and performed surgery on one eye. I was told by three other doctors that this eye was untreatable and had too many scars, as well as an astigmatism, to ever be treated. They were wrong.
After Thursday surgery, I was back to work on a Monday. I could see colors and definition in the world so much clearer without glasses. I can play with my daughter without glasses. And I can throw out all my prescription glasses - I no longer need them. (I am writing this review with NO GLASSES or contacts).
I would not trust any other eye doctor beyond Kraff Eye Clinic with my eyes. He has literally changed my life. Thank you, Dr. Kraff.
Adam Dorfman
Incredibly positive experience from Dr Kraff and team! From the initial consultation to the follow-ups, everybody was incredibly helpful and informative. I love waking up with perfect vision now and the recovery time has been much quicker than expected.
Hannah Francis
My experience at the Kraff Eye Institute was phenomenal. Each appointment was smooth and every step of the procedure was clearly explained. The LASIK operation itself was so fast, and after resting for the remainder of the day, I could see clearly the next morning. I took a flight 4 days after the operation and began a thru-hike of the Superior Hiking Trail a few days later! I was seeing the wild strawberries and dewberries so much more clearly than my hiking partner with my new 20/15 vision! I followed all instructions for the drops and have had minimal dryness, but carry artificial tears just in case. It is a whole new world to backpack without worrying about contacts and glasses— I’m thrilled with my experience. 10/10 would recommend to any friend considering the operation.
Randi Max
Dr. Coleman Kraff successfully completed my lasik 20 years ago. Not only is he is simply the best eye surgeon available, he is also an incredible human being. I'm 50 today, but I remember at 30 trying to switch careers from teaching to the pharmaceutical industry. A pharmaceutical business man was in the waiting room offering his "connections" if I joined him for dinner that evening . Dr. Kraff's amazing and caring staff overheard and told him. He took valuable work time during a hectic day to take me aside and have a life discussion with me.To sum it up, Dr. Kraff said, you don't need to go out with this guy to be successful, you will be successful no matter what you do. 20 years later, not only to I have stellar eyesight but I have also launched some of the most exciting and lucrative products in the pharma world and even started my own successful pharma company with my husband. I have worked with providers for 20 years and as I recalled this story to my husband, I literally had tears of gratitude regarding Dr. Kraff. The world would be a better place with more physicians like him.

I’ve got my lasik surgery from them about a week ago after getting a lot of my colleagues’ recommendations. It has really been a pleasant experience working with them so far. My eyes seem to healing properly now, and I’m excited for the next follow-up appointment.

If you are treating something as important as your eyes, you want to be absolutely sure you're going to the best place for it. This is that place. Amazing doctor and staff. Everyone was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I received PRK treatment on both eyes here. The surgery went smoothly and recovery is going very well. I experienced very little to no pain through the whole process.

Yesterday I went for my one month follow up since PRK with Dr. Coleman Kraff, and for the first time since I was in second grade was told I have 20/20 vision. My prescription pre-surgery was -8.5. It's literally a miracle! I am incredibly happy I made the decision to get PRK- it was so worth it. The recovery from PRK is very painful for a few days and healing continues over 6 months so I am still using multiple eye drops. I have had to call the on-call doctor a couple times for questions and have been back for multiple follow up appointments and always felt very well cared for by the staff and Dr. Kraff.

Would highly suggest lasik with Dr. Kraff. Smooth, pain free operation and his staff is just as good. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating in terms of post op experience. I’ve been blind my entire life and I still am shocked at how well I see. Wish I would have seen Dr. Kraff years ago.
Carly Olson
Dr. Kraff and his staff are amazing. They take great care of you, and Dr. Kraff treats you like you’re just as important as any of the celebrities whose photos are on his walls. I had terrible eyesight, and it’s like magic. I can see!

I'm a little late on this but reviews weren't a thing when I got my eye fixed. This man is amazing and a huge supporter of Veterans!!! THANK YOU DR. Kaff
There has been many challenges sence I've been back, but not being able to see and all the hassle that comes with glasses hasn't been one of them and I thank God that Dr.Kraff donated his time and knowledge to fix my eyes for free and he was awesome I still see amazing and they were fixed 11 about to be 12 years ago. I wouldnt go anywhere else. I hope to shake his hand again one day. Thank you and your family for all you done for me and my family.

It is finally time to commit to eye LASIK. How wonderful everything looks without glasses. Yes, I’m talking:‘’can tell the difference between -a-cat-or-a-dog” Never second guess again. Thank you Dr. Kraff and his team! The procedure was very easy and effective. Clear visions make my everyday life more enjoyable

This was probably the best decision I’ve made for myself. Dr Kraff and his staff are really knowledgeable and Take the time to answer all your questions. Everything about pre and post surgery were clearly explained to me and I’m incredibly happy with the results.
Phil Merker
Had lasik 3 days ago. Amazing. Last week I couldn't read a menu in a restaurant without a flashlight. Or I'd have to have someone read it to me or take it into the bathroom. The day after the procedure I was in a dim restaurant reading the smallest print on a sweet & low packet. My new peepers were crafted in 3 minutes. With a laser. Crazy.
The people at Kraff were kind and caring. I have nothing but gratitude for Dr. Kraff and his crew .
I payed for the procedure through QualSight Lasik - this is kind of an insurance company that co-works with Dr. Kraff. Big savings.
Mark Bryant
I had LASIK with Dr. Colman Kraff over 10 years ago. Just went in for my check-up and still perfect vision. I do not know why I waited so long to have LASIK. It is the best money I have ever spent.
Paul Byrdak
Fantastic experience absolutely love the fact that I can now see 20/20 Dr Kraff made sure he did everything he could to keep me comfortable. I was a bit nervous before the surgery but so glad I did it and so glad Dr Kraff was the one who did it.
angela dunlap
Dr. Kraft is amazing! His care of me when I had my PRK a few yrs ago was absolutely the best! Hands down by far the best at what he does. So glad I selected him to perform my surgery.

Had an amazing experience here. I was really on the fence and it was very professional, affordable and INCREDIBLE results. This was easily one of the best decisions of my life and I could not be happier. If you are on the fence, you have nothing to lose but your glasses.
Joan Crenshaw
I went from not being able to see the big “E” on the eye chart (or past my own face really) to having 20/15 vision in both eyes within 24 hours. Life-changing... better than I could have imagined. Thank you, Dr. Kraff!

They made what could have been a scary experience completely manageable. I hope I never have to have Lasik again, but if I did, I'd go back to Kraff.

I had lens replacement therapy on right eye. The staff and Dr. Coleman Kraff have been outstanding. They have taken time to listen and explain all options and map everything out. The vision is back to 20/20 in right eye. I can't thank the Kraff Eye Institute enough!
