Patient Testimonials

It has been just under 1 year since my SMILE operation with Dr. Jennifer Wu, and I only have positive things to say. Throughout the consultation process, she was incredibly patient and answered every single question I had (and I had a lot) with kindness & competence. Beyond being incredibly qualified (and operating with the newest equipment), Dr. Wu explained every step of the surgery, recovery best practices, etc. Ten months later, I cannot believe I waited so long to do the procedure - best decision.

Alex W.SMILE operation

Dr. Wu and her team are amazing! I just had the EVO ICL surgery last month and am glad I went ahead with the procedure since I didn’t qualify for LASIK. She was very informative with my options and I didn’t feel pressured to make a decision right away. I can see much better than when I had to wear glasses. Thank you!

Christina C.I didn’t qualify for LASIK

I came to Dr. Wu after getting turned down for LASIK. She gave me alternative options for corrective eye surgery and from first consult to post up she was a great pleasure to work with. She seems to care a great deal about her patients and is very understanding of all the nerves involved in the process.

Jessica L.Turned down for LASIK

Dr Wu and her staff are very professional. She explained the whole lens replacement surgery to me very thoroughly. My surgery went great with no side effects. My vision is the best it has ever been. I recommend her to anyone in need if her services.

Tom S.Lens replacement surgery

Great experience overall with both the staff and the procedure. I had PRK done on both eyes and although the recovery took some time, I ended up improving my vision to 20/15! It’s great to no longer need glasses & it has improved my quality of life tremendously. Definitely recommend One EyeCare for any vision correction needs!

Osvaldo A.I had PRK done

I love the staff at One Eye Care. Everyone is super nice and helpful at this place. At every one of my visits, I was treated with lots care and respect. Lasik surgery was painless and fast. My recovery time was easy and I am extremely happy with my results. I am glad I chose to have Lasik surgery done at One Eye Care. Dr. Wu is the best. She is very caring and talented. I am so grateful to everyone at One Eye Care for their wonderful work. A million thanks to everyone here, for allowing me to have such a positive experience. Most importantly, for giving me my vision back without having to wear my unwanted old eyeglasses.

Eileen H.Lasik surgery

I went in for a SMILE consult with Dr. Wu in April 2024 because she was one of the few physicians offering the procedure in the area. During the 1-hour consult (which was free!), she recommended ICL instead due to my high diopter and tendency to eye dryness. She clearly explained the pros/cons for each procedure and patiently answered all my questions. I decided to move forward with ICL (I got the Toric version which also corrects for astigmatism) and I'm very happy with the decision!

Christopher K.ICL Surgery

The team at One EyeCare is wonderful. They are friendly and personable, while providing excellent care. I was impressed with their due diligence in determining my Lasik treatment plan including whether or not I qualified for it. Spoiler alert, I did qualify for it and the surgery went great. I have perfect vision now.

FAQ for Vision Correction Surgery

Am I a candidate for LASIK?

LASIK is one of several vision correction options, but it’s not right for everyone. Factors like corneal thickness, age, and prescription strength determine which procedure is safest and most effective. The good news is that Dr. Wu offers five advanced options: LASIK, SMILE, PRK, EVO ICL, and RLE, so even if you’ve been told no, she can STILL help you achieve clear vision.

Is vision correction surgery safe?

Yes. When performed by an experienced surgeon using modern technology, vision correction procedures are extremely safe and deliver predictable results. Dr. Wu has performed these surgeries for over a decade and even had vision correction herself, so she speaks from both professional and personal experience.

What’s the difference between LASIK and SMILE?

Both procedures reshape the cornea to improve how light focuses on the retina, but they use different techniques. LASIK creates a thin flap in the cornea, while SMILE uses a smaller incision and removes a tiny disc of tissue within the cornea. SMILE is a great option for patients with dry eyes and active lifestyles.

What if I’ve been told I’m not a candidate for LASIK?

Technology has evolved. Many patients who were once told they couldn’t have LASIK now qualify for other advanced procedures like EVO ICL or RLE. Dr. Wu’s practice specializes in finding the right solution for each patient rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.

What makes a cornea specialist different from a general ophthalmologist?

A cornea specialist has advanced fellowship training focused on diseases, injuries, and surgeries involving the cornea and front part of the eye. While all ophthalmologists perform eye surgery, a cornea specialist like Dr. Wu has additional expertise in complex vision correction, dry eye management, and surgical complications, making her the doctor other surgeons refer their toughest cases to.

Why choose a boutique practice like One EyeCare LASIK?

Large, high-volume centers focus on speed and numbers. Ophthalmologist in Costa Mesa Dr. Wu focuses on outcomes. At One EyeCare LASIK, you’ll meet directly with your surgeon, receive personalized recommendations, and experience concierge-level support from a dedicated team that knows you by name.

What is the cornea?

The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped surface at the front of your eye that focuses light and plays a major role in how well you see. Because it’s responsible for most of your eye’s focusing power, even small irregularities can cause blurred or distorted vision. As a cornea specialist, Dr. Wu is uniquely trained to diagnose and treat these complex issues with precision.
