The doctors were very nice and attentive. I was originally scheduled for a different surgery, but it wasn’t caught in advance that I wasn’t a candidate, so I ended up taking time off work unnecessarily—something that could have been avoided. However, the doctor did take the time to explain in detail why I wasn’t a candidate for the original procedure, going into specifics about the shape of my eye. He was very kind and thorough in his explanation, which I appreciated.
When I went in for the EVO ICL procedure, the experience was much better overall. The only issue was that I did not receive the aftercare instructions until after the surgery, when I was handed a lot of information all at once. Additionally, there are limited days available for EVO ICL procedures, which can make scheduling and managing post-op appointments a bit challenging without a flexible schedule.
Aside from that, they answered all of my questions, were very kind, and were able to accommodate my need for a later appointment.

Never wore glasses before and always saw well, until my 40’s. That’s when I had Dr. Stetson work on just one eye. I haven’t worn my readers since the surgery and really see great! It’s been about two months now since and truly feel comfortable recommending DIAMOND VISION to friends and family.

Had LASIK with Dr. Steven Stetson today and it was an incredible experience. I was very nervous, but his bedside manner is outstanding — he walked me through every step and made it completely seamless. I walked out seeing clearly for the first time in 20 years. His entire staff was kind, supportive, and amazing. I couldn’t recommend him more. Truly life-changing.

Dr. Stetson and everyone at Diamond Vision were truly amazing—so welcoming, but most importantly, incredibly knowledgeable.
My husband had been contemplating LASIK for years after spending so long wearing contacts, and finally decided to go for it. From the very beginning, the team made him feel comfortable and confident in his decision.
The very next day, he had 20/20 vision, and their follow-up care has been outstanding—they’ve truly been on top of everything. An exceptional experience from start to finish, with an overall amazing outcome. Highly recommend.

Dr. Steven Stetson performed my InterLase vision correction surgery today, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, he was professional, reassuring, and incredibly skilled. The procedure was smooth, recovery has been great, and I’m already close to 20/20 vision. I’m very grateful for his expertise and highly recommend Dr. Stetson to anyone considering vision correction.

Life-changing experience at Diamond Vision with Dr. Steven Stetson
I cannot thank Dr. Steven Stetson and the Diamond Vision team ;
Dr. Amy Stein , Kent and others , enough for the extraordinary care I received. From the very first consultation, they treated me with warmth, honesty, and professionalism. The surgery itself was completely painless, and I was cared for as if I were part of their own family.
Unlike other clinics, Diamond Vision never pressured me financially or emotionally. Everything was explained clearly, and their honesty gave me complete confidence and peace of mind.
Now, after 8 months, my vision is absolutely spectacular. I wake up every day grateful for the freedom and clarity they restored to my life.
If you are considering LASIK or vision correction, I highly recommend Dr. Stetson and his team. They are the true gold standard in patient care.

I was very happy with my experience at Diamond vision! They were clean, kind and professional. Elsa was friendly and went above and beyond. When the pharmacy had trouble filling my eye drops she even checked in the day before to make sure I received them. Dr. Stetson was gentle and informative. He guided me through the whole procedure which really eased my anxiety. It was quick and I got great results so far. I would highly recommend!

I had an outstanding experience at Diamond Vision Lasik and would highly recommend them to anyone considering vision correction. I had prepaid for surgery on both eyes, but on the day of the procedure, the doctor carefully evaluated my vision and honestly told me that I only needed LASIK in one eye. This was completely accurate, as I personally felt that one eye already had great vision.
That moment alone showed how ethical and honest this practice is. There was absolutely no pressure to proceed with something unnecessary. The doctor clearly prioritizes doing what is right for the patient rather than trying to sell procedures, which is rare to see today.
The assistant was extremely friendly and helpful and made sure the refund for the second eye was handled smoothly. The doctor himself ensured that I received my refund, which really speaks to the integrity of this practice.

I had a great lasik experience. My friend recommended Dr. Stetson and I am happy she did. From the start, everyone was extremely thorough in making sure I was a good candidate and took the time to explain every step during the consultation. The pre- and post-op instructions were clear and easy to follow, which made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. The entire staff, especially Elsa and Ken (if I remember his name correctly) were incredibly helpful throughout, and Dr. Stetson especially made me feel confident in him and comfortable. The office is clean and easy to get to. The care felt thoughtful and professional from beginning to end. My brother also had his lasik procedure here and we are both very happy with the results. Thank you 🙂

From start to finish, my experience here was absolutely incredible. The entire team made me feel welcomed, informed, and genuinely cared for.
Elsa handled all of my appointments and instructions, and she was truly the best. She was organized, and thorough with pre and post op instructions. She made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free.
Ken did my consultation and you can immediately tell how passionate he is about what he does. He took the time to explain everything clearly and truly wanted to help, not rush me through. That level of care makes such a difference.
Dr. Stein handled my eye checkups and she was an absolute angel, patient, and incredibly reassuring. She made me feel completely comfortable throughout the whole process.
Dr. Stetson performed my surgery, and I honestly didn’t feel a thing. The procedure was smooth, quick, and easily one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’m beyond happy to finally be free from contacts. He genuinely cares about his patients and makes sure you understand and follow post-op instructions so you get the best possible outcome.
If you’re even considering vision correction, this is the place to go. Professional, compassionate, and life-changing. I couldn’t recommend Diamond Vision more.

Initial consultation was fast & efficient without feeling rushed. (Elsa is great!). Day of surgery, Kenneth was thorough and very clear on what to expect before, during and after, as well as going over post-op care instructions until I fully understood everything needed to do. For the actual surgery, Dr Stetson was awesome. Calm, methodical and steady. He explained everything that was going to happen, step by step through the whole process as it was being done. He gives the confident assurance you get when you hear a pilot talk on a flight. It’s that sort of assurance and trust that puts you at ease when having what can be a nerve wracking procedure. In regards to the procedure, it was quick, painless and well worth it. Seeing without glasses or contacts for the first time since 2nd grade! I am extremely grateful! Many thanks, Dr Stetson and team!!

Frequently Asked Questions About LASIK Eye Surgery at Diamond Vision
What is the safest way to correct vision without glasses or contacts?
Laser vision correction procedures are among the safest and most effective options when performed by experienced surgeons. At Diamond Vision, we use advanced laser technology and thorough eye assessments to ensure precision and safety.
How much does LASIK cost at Diamond Vision in Manhattan NYC?
LASIK costs vary based on the procedure and prescription complexity. Diamond Vision offers transparent pricing with flexible financing options for patients in Manhattan NYC, Paramus NJ, Hapeville GA, and Atlanta. Post-operative warranty plans are available starting at $550 for 5-year coverage, $750 for 7-year coverage, and $1,000 for lifetime coverage. Contact us for a personalized cost estimate at your free consultation at any of our 10 locations.
How do I choose the best eye surgeon?
Look for board-certified specialists with years of experience, advanced technology, and a record of positive patient outcomes. At Diamond Vision, our team has performed over 100,000 procedures with personalized care for every patient.
Am I a good candidate for LASIK eye surgery?
Most healthy adults 18 years or older with a stable prescription and no corneal disease are good LASIK candidates. Conditions such as dry eyes, thin corneas, or high prescriptions may make iLASIK or PRK a better fit. Diamond Vision offers free comprehensive eye exams at all 10 locations to determine your eligibility for the most appropriate vision correction procedure.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients report little to no discomfort thanks to numbing eye drops. The treatment is quick—often under 15 minutes—and temporary dryness or sensitivity usually fades within a few days.
How long does LASIK surgery take at Diamond Vision?
The actual LASIK procedure takes just 10 to 15 minutes per visit, with both eyes treated the same day. Most patients experience significant vision improvement the very next morning. Recovery time is typically one to two days before returning to normal activities. The entire process from consultation to clear vision is faster than most patients expect.
Can laser eye surgery correct astigmatism?
Yes, modern technology can correct most forms of astigmatism, improving clarity and reducing or eliminating the need for glasses. Our specialists will confirm your candidacy during a consultation.
What is the difference between iLASIK and traditional LASIK?
Traditional LASIK uses a microkeratome blade to create the corneal flap, while iLASIK uses a bladeless femtosecond laser combined with WaveScan wavefront technology to fully customize the treatment to each patient’s unique vision profile. iLASIK delivers superior night vision outcomes, better precision, and is the procedure of choice for patients with higher-order visual aberrations. Diamond Vision was the first NYC-area practice to offer CustomVue Intralase surgery in 2003.
How long does recovery take?
Many people notice clearer vision within 24 hours, with full recovery typically taking one to two weeks. Diamond Vision provides detailed aftercare guidance and follow-up visits to support healing.
Does Diamond Vision offer financing for LASIK in Paramus NJ?
Yes. Diamond Vision offers flexible financing options for LASIK eye surgery at all locations, including Paramus NJ, Manhattan NYC, Hapeville GA, and Atlanta. We work with multiple financing partners to help patients access life-changing vision correction at a manageable monthly cost. Ask about current financing plans at your free consultation.
What is the average cost, and is it worth it?
While our list price for all-laser LASIK and PRK is $3250 and $3000 per eye, respectively, we are currently running aggressive promotions that bring your total cost of surgery down significantly from these numbers. Our experienced consultants review your vision correction options and financing choices.
We participate with most vision plans like QualSite and VSP, which can bring costs down even further, and our financing partners Care Credit and Affirm offer zero percent financing of your vision correction surgery for up to two years!
We invite you to visit us for a free consultation so that we can give you an exact quote for your refractive surgery.
What is recovery like after LASIK eye surgery at Diamond Vision?
Most patients see clearly the morning after LASIK eye surgery. We recommend keeping eyes closed for the remainder of the day following surgery. Vision may fluctuate slightly for the first few weeks, and patients should use prescribed eye drops as directed. Full stabilization typically occurs within two to three months. PRK patients require a slightly longer recovery of four to seven days before the epithelium fully regenerates.
Who may not be a candidate?
Individuals with unstable prescriptions, thin corneas (alternative ICL surgery), those 65+ years old, certain eye conditions, or severe dry eyes may not be ideal candidates.
In such cases, alternatives like PRK or ICL may be recommended.
Does Diamond Vision serve patients near Atlanta, Hapeville GA?
Yes. Diamond Vision serves patients in Hapeville GA and the greater Atlanta area at our dedicated Hapeville location. With 10 offices across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Georgia, Diamond Vision is one of the most accessible LASIK practices in the eastern United States. Our Hapeville GA location offers the same award-winning surgeons and advanced technology available at our Manhattan and Paramus NJ flagship offices.
What are the potential risks?
While rare, side effects can include glare, dryness, or minor under or overcorrection. Choosing an experienced center like Diamond Vision reduces these risks through advanced diagnostics and careful screening.
How many LASIK procedures has Diamond Vision performed?
Diamond Vision has performed over 100,000 vision correction procedures across all 10 locations. Medical Director Dr. Steven W. Stetson, MD has personally performed over 80,000 refractive surgeries throughout his career, bringing an exceptional level of surgical experience and precision to every patient at our Manhattan NYC, Paramus NJ, Hapeville GA, and Atlanta locations.
