Lanter Eye Care & Laser Surgery

I have seen Dr Halsey for years and am highly satisfied with him and all the staff at the clinic. I have catarac surgery by Dr Lanter. I paid $1500 extra to have both near and far sight corrected. The near sighted correction did not work. I still need reading glasses for anything close up. This is extremely disappointing and I have not gone back.

I will just say this, loud and clear, I have never been so comfortable at a doctor's office till my insurance company transferred me to Lanter Eye Care. They truly care about my comfortability and health. I would especially like to give props to Kathy! She is amazing and blessing to this community. Thank you, Lanter, for all the hard work and dedication you have for your patients.

I do not normally write reviews. I am new to the area and needed both a medical and vision Eye exam, which for insurance reasons could not be done at the same time. Dr Vangets did a great job with the medical eye exam, but the vision eye exam went terribly wrong. I was there for almost 3 hour, the assistant was rude, I had to repeat a lot of testing that was not necessary. At the end of it, the prescription I was given was wrong. I ended up getting glasses at Costco, since my glasses there would have cost over $ 1100. ( I have never had glasses cost this much). But since the prescription was wrong I cannot really use the new glasses. Staff was not helpful when I called back. I will not be going back

I needed cataract surgery and had an appt with Dr Lanter x3. I saw him once. The other time he cancelled due to an emergency. The other time I waited 2 hours to see him and finally I had to leave and get to work. He made lots of claims about possible improvements if my end result was not adequate. I requested he call me to discuss , never did, sent him an email and again no response. I have been seeing Dr Halsey and he is a great doc but not a surgeon. I now need a capsulotomy and will need to find another surgeon as I am no longer comfortable with the level of service Dr Lanter provides.

Saw Dr. Lanter today for an eye exam and evaluation to see if I needed cataract surgery. I found the staff to be extremely professional and very courteous. I received a very thorough exam and thereafter a consultation with Dr. Lanter. Dr. Lanter answered all of my questions, and the technician who did my exam was excellent.

Dr. Vangets was wonderful and very helpful. Unfortunately I was told she has left this practice. The last time I was there the male optometrist and the staff were laughing about charging someone $50 for an exam and spending the money on lunch. I was there for 2 hours wanting to be seen, everyone I asked about what was going on every one I spoke with was short tempered with me and I paid for an exam that was suppose to be covered by insurance. The staff gave me the same exam in 2 forms, the digital version and then the chair and giant machine with the letters. I tried telling the assistant what was going on with me and she snapped that she knew, even though I never met her before. I have paid them on several occasions even though it's been months since I've been there. They keep trying to charge me for random things. I even got a call trying to collect almost $300 for contracts I didn't get or ask for! I'm not going back.

Dr. Lanter performed cataract extraction on both eyes. I had a great experience with Dr. Lanter as my surgeon and Dr Hulsey for follow up care. I highly recommend Lanter Eye Care.

The only reason I put one star is because that's the only way I could continue. I had an eye exam in February. As with other Reviews, the staff was not pleasant. After my exam, I stepped over to where you would purchase glasses to see what it would cost me there after my exam, I decided against it because their prices were just way too high. Three weeks later I went to Walmart to try to get my glasses and learned that this eyecare center had charged my insurance company for frames and lenses which I never ordered or received. When I called them with my insurance company on a conference call, they said there was only one person we could speak to, and they weren't there and promised to call back later that day. My call was not returned, and after three attempts to reach someone I finally did get a hold of someone. They tell me I placed an order, but I must've canceled it because they never showed them picked up. They said the glasses were free to me through my insurance, but the quote I've received from them was over $500! I never placed an order, never picked out frames and now I have to wait for this to get fixed before I can get glasses. Something suspect is going on there which I will be reporting with my insurance company.
