I had my SMILE procedure July 8th. Everything went smoothly. Cameron, Dr. Jones, and Jamie were my care team that day. I also have to shout out the assistant in the room during the procedure who was so kind - he provided a blanket, reminded me to breathe several times, and helped make sure I didn't hit anything walking out of the room. I am SO glad I did this procedure - absolutely life-changing. I have had minimal issues post-procedure: some dry eye here and there and some blurriness driving at night with the bright lights but this is so much better than having to mess with contacts and glasses like before.

My experience with Wang Vision Institute was absolutely incredible. From the moment I met Dr. Wang and then his amazing staff, I felt so comfortable and trusting that they are the best in their field. The office staff was so friendly and accommodating and Dr. Zimmerman and Dr. Jones were so great. They helped me understand the factors of the SMILE procedure and were so thorough in making sure this was a smart decision for me, and they didn't pressure me in any certain direction. They gave realistic expectations and helped me prepare for the procedure. From the consult to the surgery, it was only one week! I couldn't believe they could get me in that fast, and I am so glad they did. I never thought I'd be able to see and have a life without contacts or glasses every single day for every activity because I have severe astigmatism. So my time at The Wang Vision Institute changed my life. I am so grateful and will always go back to them for mine and my families eye care. More
I've been in glasses since 5th grade, with an eye exam every year. Went to WVI for a free consultation. It was the most thorough exam of my life (and I've had a lot of eye exams since 5th grade). Learned so much about my eye health and vision during the consult. If you're nervous about LASIK or just curious, go for a consultation, it's no commitment and you are going to have the best exam ever! They also offer same-day procedures, but I planned mine a few months out due to a beach trip. Glasses and beach don't mix, came back early, got LASIK, and am living the best eyesight dream!! No glasses on my face or always needing to be cleaned, no contacts drying my eyes out or causing discomfort. Everything was explained so thoroughly, and has gone exactly as expected. Thankful to the team, Karen, who worked with my consult, Cameron, who helped me organize, Dr. W., who provided the most thorough exam and took the time to discuss my eye health, Dr. Jones, who performed the procedure, and Dennis, who stayed with me and guided me through the whole procedure on LASIK day. He answered all of my questions as they popped up and helped ease my anxiety with information and guidance. The procedure was unexpectedly easy with his support. Thanks to the WVI team, I can see!!

With my extremely high astigmatism and poor eyesight (to the point of being legally blind without contacts or glasses), I was only eligible for the ICL procedure. Despite the potential for some remaining astigmatism that could be addressed through a touch-up LASIK procedure, I decided to undergo the surgery. Following the surgery, one of my eyes did heal with a small amount of astigmatism still present. However, three months later, I was able to have a touch-up procedure to correct it, although I was quite anxious about the outcome. In comparison to the ICL procedure, the surgery was a bit more rough for me. Nevertheless, after two months, I'm delighted to report that my vision has improved to 20/20. I’ve never had 20/20 even with corrective lenses. Dr. Jones did both surgeries. More

I have had vision issues from my teenage issues into my early 40s. I went in and was able to get an assessement and the SMILE surgery within the same day by Kayla and Dr Jones. I opted for the SMILE procedure to minimize the dry eye issues i have. Overall the surgery was very painless and lasted < 30 minutes. By the end of it i could see with only a light white fogging right after the procedure. Following that i mostly slept the rest of the day (Friday). Saturday I stayed in bed mostly listening to the comedians with my eyes closed to minimize any dry eye issues. Note I could see clearly but had itchy eyes through the weekend. I went back on Monday to find that my vision was now 20-20. Overall couldn't be happier with the procedure. So glad I went here to get my eyes fixed. I was worried how bad the procedure would be or the pain afterwards and I don't think it's bad at all. Basically you will feel like you have sawdust in your eyes for the recuperating period. Can not recommend this place enough. More
I can not recommend the Wang Vision Institute enough! The location is convenient to get to (which is hard to do in Nash), the office is clean, calm, quiet, and not short on refreshments or snacks while you wait, which will never be for long. The staff are all extremely kind and patient with you, they never make you feel like you're just another paycheck. Scott, Cameron, and Dr. Jones were all amazing! I had amazing talks with all of them, they made sure I got all the information I needed for LASIK, that I had every opportunity to ask any questions I had literally until the moment before I stepped into the LASIK room. Speaking of LASIK, the surgery went perfect! I had a VERY bad astigmatism before WVI, so bad I honestly wasn't sure I'd even qualify for LASIK, and if I did they'd never be able to get my vision corrected the way I had hoped. But Dr. Jones did a fantastic job and he got my vision all the way to 20/15!! I cannot stress this enough, if you need ANY kind of eye care, LASIK or otherwise, PLEASE use Wang Vision Institute!! You will get the best experience, the best staff in the field, and the best results! More
The whole experience from start to finish could not have gone better. From scheduling the appointment, answering questions, to the actual procedure itself, the doctors and staff could not have been more helpful (Krista, Dennis, Cameron, Dr. Zimmerman, Dr. Jones just to name a few). I am now seeing 20/20 as well as my astigmatism being dramatically improved. This is the #1 vision insutite in Tennessee. More
A month ago I had life changing corrective eye surgery. I had Implantable Collamer Lenses permanently implanted in my both of eyes behind my irises and in front of my natural lenses, essentially curing my blindness. I have been legally blind since I was a child with severe nearsightedness and astigmatism that made me an ineligible candidate for lasik surgery . I sought help from The Wang Vision Institute and I was eligible for alternative ICL surgery. Dr Jones at The Wang Vision Institute successfully cured my blindness taking me from 20/200 to 20/20 in the first week. I am forever grateful to my surgeon and the wonderful team at The Wang Vision Institute who are performing modern day miracles. More
I saw Dr. Kyle Jones for ICL surgery. I’ve been extremely nearsighted all my life and it was the best decision I’ve made. I had surgery in September and wanted to wait to give a full review. Everything has turned out fantastic, I can see better than I ever could in glasses or contacts. Dr. Jones was awesome. He explained everything and was able to answer all my questions. I also really appreciated all the staff they were all wonderful. I would definitely recommend! More
