“My experience at the Eye Institute could not have been better. The staff was wonderful. I have been so pleased with my vision and can now see like I did when I was in my 20’s and 30’s.”

Reggie
“I have worn contact lenses and glasses for 45 years. Since having PRK surgery to enhance my mono vision...the Black Hills have never looked so beautiful! I wish I wouldn't have waited so long to have surgery because the benefits are wonderful…even my close vision for computer usage is better than I ever expected. Words can't explain how competent, professional and caring their staff are!”

Rose
“Because of my business, I have been in medical eye centers similar to the Eye Institute from coast to coast. Black Hills Regional Eye Institute is as good as, if not better, than many of the centers I have visited. One can’t beat the staff of professionals in Rapid City, South Dakota.”

Brett
“Like any medical procedure, I had fears that the small percentage of things that can go wrong just might happen. Through the efforts of the whole staff, all my fears were gone because of their kind words and explanations. Also, allowing my family to witness and be part of the whole process was key to the success of my surgery. Plus, now that my eyesight is the best it has ever been the fans can no longer yell out and say ‘hey ref, are you blind?’”

Terri
“The doctors and staff were fantastic. They were very specific about what they were doing each step of the way, so I didn’t feel nervous or unsure at any time. The procedure was over so quickly and the results were so fast that I knew right away everything was great.”

“It is truly amazing to wake up in the morning and be able to see everything. The doctors at the Eye Institute were very thorough in explaining the whole process.”

Dr. Tom Golis, Optometrist
“My biggest benefit from iLASIK is the ability to exercise without glasses or contacts. It’s especially helpful when I’m swimming in open water, so that I can find the next buoy that I’m swimming towards.”

"After my cataract surgery with a multifocal intraocular lens, I love the ability to get up in the middle of the night and not have to search for my glasses. Plus, I enjoy outdoor activities without having the hassle of contacts and the hindrance of dirt or dust in my eyes with contacts.” (Mike)

Amy
“My experience at the Eye Institute was excellent. I was nervous when I arrived, but the doctors and staff were wonderful, comforting, funny, well trained, professional and so friendly. They helped me relax right away. I wish I had done LASIK years ago – it’s the best thing that’s happened to me. That night, I even watched my son’s baseball game and I could see perfectly!”
