The Pinnacle of Vision Correction Live Clearly®The Best LASIK, Lens, and Cataract Experience in Charleston, SC George O. Waring IV, MD, FACS & Michael DeCourcey, MD

I had lasik last week and the entire process was fabulous. The staff is kind and knowledgable and did everything to make me feel comfortable. Plus, my vision is now better than perfect! I never write reviews... but seriously if you're reading through reviews to try and find the right place, go here!!!

Wow. 24 hours since surgery and I am seeing 20/20. I have dreamt of having the CLEAR® replacement lens surgery for several years and today is such a great day. The entire staff at Waring Eye Institute is top notched. Dr Waring is superb. The nurses and staff at the surgical center were fantastic. I had a hard time looking at the eye chart through my tears of joy!  I can see clearly now. And these protective shields are off!

UPDATE:  It’s now one month since my surgery and I’m maintaining 20/20 vision. The halo eff...

Hands down Waring Vision in my opinion is one of the best.

From my initial visit the entire staff are friendly and knowledgeable.
Dr Waring will sit down with you and explain in detail what you can expect from your treatment.

If you have eye problems this is the place you want to be.

My cataract procedure was amazing, I have a new set of eyes I look through.

You only have one set of eyes. This is where they should be taken care of.

24 Hour Post-Op Review: I had a wonderful experience working with Dr. Waring. He took the time to gather enough data on my eye pressure to determine the best route for my vision correction while taking into account my eye health and long-term outcomes. After weeks of weighing our options and doing multiple tests we landing on moving forward  with Smile Pro. They’re currently the only office in the state offering this treatment. I was initially coming to the office thinking I would have the EVO treatments but then he told me about the S...

Got Lasik Surgery here and I have nothing but great things to say. All of the staff were kind and really made me feel comfortable with the entire experience. Dr. Waring explained things to me in a straightforward and easy to understand way. The surgery was surprisingly quick and mostly painless. They had great communication as to what was happening and when it would happen. They also offer really great financing options if you are unable to pay out of pocket. 1 day post op and I definitely notice a massive improvement in my vision. I couldn&rsquo...

My experience at Waring Vision Institute was what I needed! Everyone was kind, courteous and most professional! My family traveled with me and they were warmly received.

Dr. Scarlet was exceptional in her service delivery and she and the nurse made me feel quite comfortable! There some validations of diagnosis, but I learned of available treatment options.

Mt. Pleasant is a distance, but it’s worth the drive, as my health is important and I matter!!

I was very impressed with the results after surgery and my eye sight is continuing to improve. Staff were nice and very professional and the procedure was easy to set up. I would recommend Warring Vision Institute to others.

Warning vision was by far the best institute. All the staff made you feel welcomed and relaxed. I got LASIK and the whole procedure was straight forward and no discomfort. I have better than 20/20 vision already and it’s only been one day. I couldn’t recommend them more. THANK YOU!

Had an appointment in preparation for cataract surgery. Every person I interacted with was the epitome of professionalism. I never felt rushed, they explained everything clearly. Dr. Waring was very detailed in explaining my situation and options. Alex walked me through the details pre and post . She was very personable and thorough in making sure I understood all phases of the process.

Dr Waring and his entire team are fantastic! I had complete refractive lens replacement on both eyes yesterday and the results are already amazing. I can see things that I never thought I could without glasses or contacts. I wasn’t sure I could go through with eye surgery because the thought is so scary. I even had a minor freak out at the beginning because I am claustrophobic and going under the laser was frightening for me. The whole team was so understanding and caring. They got me through that first step and the rest was a breeze. The r...

The only bad thing I have to say is that I am so angry I didn't do the Lasik surgery sooner! I was constantly told by my optometrist during my yearly visits that though my prescription was stable, that at my age (42 years old) I should not have this surgery. After my eyes began rejecting contacts and dry eyes started impacting my attitude, I decided to get a consultation. To my surprise, Dr. Waring said I was a perfect candidate! He talked me through my options and it just made sense. They were able to schedule me quickly, work with me on payment...

This was the best experience ever coming to a specialist. The care and tone of the explanation from Dr. Waring was absolutely the best. Alex is so friendly she breaks down the process so well very kind. I would definitely recommend this office. Loved my experience in the office.

These folks are great! They were very thorough performing my exam, and after discussing the situation in great detail, we decided I wasn’t a candidate for surgery. They didn’t try to convince me otherwise. They then prescribed me an eyedrop that I can use that eliminates my need for reading glasses. It’s been great!

Going to Waring Vision Institute was a life-changing experience. I had worn contacts for 20+ years and was over it. I now have perfect vision and cataracts will never be a concern.  I was so excited about my new eyes, I shared my experience with my brother and sister-in-law and they went for their surgery immediately!  Thank you Waring!

I was so nervous the day of surgery. The staff and Dr Waring were very calm and reassuring.  They explained every step by step as it was happening.  The beginning of the procedure was extremely uncomfortable but only lasted a minute. The next day I had 20/20 vision!! Lasik surgery is sooo worth it!

It was a wonderful experience having lasik surgery at Waring Vision. All the staff was extremely friendly. The process was very easy, quick and shockingly very painless. I could not recommend them enough for anyone looking to have lasik surgery.

I had lens replacement surgery on December 2nd with Dr. Waring. Everyone treated me with kindness and took time to explain what was about to happen. I went home and rested for the remainder of that day. I woke up on Tuesday morning, December 3rd, picked up my phone and read email for the very first time in 25 years without reading glasses! I wish I hadn’t waited so long! Thanks to Dr. Waring and the entire staff.

Dr. Waring and his team have been phenomenal! I have struggled with terrible vision headaches and nausea since the 5th grade and now at 35 years old I can see! I was one of the first in the state of SC to have the new SMILE procedure done and it was absolutely wonderful! Thank you Dr. Waring and your team for giving me quality of life back!!

For years, I wanted LASIK eye surgery but hesitated due to the cost. Once I saved enough, I was excited to proceed. At Waring Vision Institute, they offered financial plans, which I appreciated. If I'd known about this option earlier, I would've come sooner.

As a long-time contact lens user concerned about eye health, I wanted to stop damaging my eyes. Waring Vision kept me well-informed throughout the process. The reviews I read were fantastic and didn’t disappoint.

The doctors recommended the PRK procedure, which has a longe...

I have worn contacts and glasses from adolescence through adult life. My routine care eye doctor referred me to WVI for a lasik consultation. The team is incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, and professional. Dr. Waring is down to earth and approachable regarding this advanced procedure.
I’m less than 24 hours post-procedure and seeing clearer than ever!
For someone who was very nervous about it, I couldn’t be happier with the result.

I recently had LASIK surgery, and it was truly life-changing! The whole process was quick, and Dr Waring and his team made me feel comfortable and well-informed every step of the way. I’m amazed at how clear my vision is now—no more glasses or contacts! Recovery was smooth, and I was back to normal activities in no time. I highly recommend LASIK to anyone considering it—it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

Took time to review and Alleviate any nerves regarding the cataract and  Lasik procedure The Doctors and staff are exceptional. The results are amazing. Highly recommend if you are considering having this done

Everyone one in Dr. Waring’s office is very kind & professional. The atmosphere is pleasant & welcoming. Dr. Waring did a great job on both of my eyes. I highly recommend coming to his facility.

Highly recommended. Very professional and very friendly with a wonderful ability to put you at ease during the entire process. After 2nd day of surgery on 2nd eye, I have tears of joy being able to read small type.  This after years of chasing readers everywhere. Thank you Waring Vision!

I should have did this surgery years ago. I went in for LASIK but Dr Waring recommended that I get the PRK EYE SURGERY due to scaring tissues from wearing the contacts and not taking them out like I should. Dr Waring and his staff was awesome. The surgery was painless and I'm on the road to recovery. I recommend Waring Vision Institute to any who wants to get rid of glasses and contacts.
Awesome awesome awesome.
