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.

Our Mission

Every patient deserves clear vision, even when their case seems impossible. That’s the driving force behind Dr. Jennifer Wu’s approach as your Costa Mesa eye doctor at One EyeCare LASIK. She’s built her practice on refusing to give up on patients, especially those told they’re not candidates for vision correction elsewhere. With all five laser eye surgery options available plus specialized treatments for corneal tissue disorders and dry eye treatment, Dr. Wu creates customized plans that address your specific needs.

Her commitment extends beyond procedures to genuine relationships: she personally conducts comprehensive eye exams during hour-long consultations, texts patients after procedures, and remains accessible throughout your journey. As a female surgeon mompreneur who’s passionate about exceptional results, she treats every patient like family because to her, you are.

Refractive/Clear Lens Exchange

At One EyeCare LASIK, we offer refractive/clear lens exchange to help patients achieve clear vision without relying on glasses or contacts. This advanced procedure replaces your natural lens with a premium intraocular lens that corrects presbyopia, nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Whether you’re not eligible for LASIK or want a permanent solution to aging vision, lens replacement provides long-lasting results and eliminates the need for reading glasses.

Our Costa Mesa eye doctor, Dr. Jennifer Wu, uses precise laser technology to perform this 20-30 minute outpatient procedure. We begin by numbing your eyes and providing gentle sedation for your comfort. Dr. Wu then creates tiny incisions using a laser, removes your natural lens, and inserts a customized IOL tailored to your vision needs. Most patients return to their daily activities within just two days and enjoy clear, youthful vision that lasts permanently.

EVO ICL

EVO ICL offers a revolutionary solution for patients with nearsightedness or astigmatism who aren’t ideal candidates for LASIK surgery. This innovative procedure places a biocompatible lens behind your iris and in front of your natural lens, providing clear vision without altering your cornea. Unlike traditional contacts that require daily insertion and removal, the implantable collamer lens works invisibly inside your eye to correct refractive errors ranging from mild to severe myopia.

Dr. Jennifer Wu at One EyeCare LASIK performs this minimally invasive procedure in just 15-20 minutes per eye. Our Costa Mesa eye doctor begins by numbing your eyes for comfort, then creates a small incision to gently position the ICL behind your iris. Since no corneal tissue is removed, the procedure is completely reversible if your vision needs change in the future. Most patients experience improved vision almost immediately and return to normal activities within two days.

SMILE

SMILE eye surgery represents the next generation of laser vision correction for patients with nearsightedness and astigmatism. This minimally invasive procedure uses a single femtosecond laser to reshape the cornea through a tiny incision, eliminating the need for a corneal flap. With faster recovery and reduced dry eye risk compared to traditional methods, SMILE allows active individuals to return to their favorite sports and activities with confidence and clarity.

We use the advanced Zeiss SMILE Laser VM800 to deliver precise results in just minutes per eye. Your Costa Mesa eye doctor, Dr. Jennifer Wu, creates a small disc of corneal tissue called a lenticule and removes it through a minimal incision to correct your vision. One EyeCare LASIK is proud to be the first practice in California offering this cutting-edge technology. Most patients experience improved vision immediately and resume normal activities the very next day with minimal discomfort.

PRK

PRK surgery provides effective laser vision correction for patients who aren’t suitable candidates for LASIK due to thin corneas or active lifestyles involving contact sports. This proven procedure reshapes your cornea using an excimer laser to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism without creating a corneal flap. Because PRK removes only the surface layer of the cornea, it’s ideal for athletes, military personnel, and anyone at risk of eye trauma who wants freedom from glasses and contacts.

During the procedure at One EyeCare LASIK, our Costa Mesa eye doctor gently removes the corneal epithelium before using a precisely calibrated laser to reshape the underlying tissue. Dr. Jennifer Wu completes PRK in just 5-10 minutes per eye, then applies a protective bandage contact lens to support healing. While recovery takes about a week longer than LASIK, most patients achieve 20/20 vision or better and enjoy permanent results that make the temporary discomfort worthwhile.

Dry Eyes

Chronic dry eye affects millions of people, causing burning, redness, and irritation that disrupts daily activities. At One EyeCare LASIK, we take a unique approach by identifying and treating the underlying cause rather than simply masking symptoms with drops. Whether your discomfort stems from meibomian gland dysfunction, inflammation, or other factors, we offer advanced drugless and dropless solutions that provide lasting relief instead of temporary fixes.

Our Costa Mesa eye doctor specializes in comprehensive dry eye care using cutting-edge technologies like Lumenis IPL, BlephEx, and TearCare. Dr. Jennifer Wu carefully evaluates your tear film quality and gland function to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. These quick in-office procedures address the root cause of dry eyes, helping patients who have struggled to find relief elsewhere finally achieve comfortable, healthy vision without constant dependence on artificial tears.

Keratoconus

Keratoconus causes the cornea to thin and bulge into a cone shape, creating distorted vision that glasses cannot fully correct. This progressive condition typically begins in the teenage years and can worsen over time without proper intervention. We specialize in corneal cross-linking, the gold standard treatment that stops keratoconus progression in over 95% of cases by strengthening corneal tissue and preventing further bulging and vision loss.

Dr. Jennifer Wu offers comprehensive keratoconus care that combines cross-linking with advanced vision correction options tailored to your needs. Your Costa Mesa eye doctor may recommend custom PRK performed simultaneously with cross-linking, EVO ICL implantation for higher prescriptions, or CTAK for severe cases. One EyeCare LASIK takes a personalized approach to halt disease progression while improving your uncorrected vision, reducing your dependence on hard contact lenses and providing long-term stability for your eye health.

FAQ for Vision Correction

How much is laser vision correction?

The cost of laser vision correction varies depending on which procedure is best for your eyes and your specific prescription needs. Factors like the type of technology used, the complexity of your case, and whether you need treatment for astigmatism or other conditions all influence the final price. At One EyeCare LASIK, we offer financing options to make treatment more affordable and accessible. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed cost breakdown based on your personalized treatment plan and discuss payment options that work within your budget.

Is laser vision correction safe?

Yes, laser vision correction is extremely safe when performed by an experienced surgeon using modern technology. Dr. Wu has over a decade of experience performing these procedures and uses the most advanced diagnostic and surgical equipment available. The safety profile continues to improve as technology advances, with serious complications being very rare. Dr. Wu even had laser vision correction herself and has performed surgery on other eye doctors and her own family members, which speaks to her confidence in both the safety and effectiveness of these procedures.

Can double vision be corrected?

Double vision often improves with the right treatment approach, though the solution varies based on what’s triggering your symptoms. Sometimes double vision results from eye muscle weakness, prescription imbalances, or corneal surface problems that respond well to surgical correction. Other times, the issue requires specialized glasses with prisms or eye exercises to retrain your visual system. One EyeCare LASIK uses advanced diagnostic testing to pinpoint exactly why you’re seeing double and recommend the most effective vision correction solution.

How does laser surgery correct vision?

Laser surgery transforms your vision by using concentrated light energy to modify the front surface of your eye with microscopic accuracy. The computer-controlled laser removes specific patterns of tissue to create the ideal curvature for perfect focus, eliminating the need for glasses or contacts. Each pulse of the laser is programmed specifically for your prescription and eye measurements, ensuring personalized results. This advanced technology works so precisely that most patients achieve 20/20 vision or better within days of treatment.

How to correct vision without glasses?

Breaking free from glasses involves choosing from several proven surgical alternatives that permanently improve your natural vision. Younger patients often prefer minimally invasive procedures that preserve more of their natural eye structure while delivering excellent results. Patients with higher prescriptions may benefit from implantable lenses that work alongside your natural lens without any tissue removal. For those dealing with aging vision changes, lens replacement offers the most comprehensive solution by addressing both distance and near vision simultaneously through cutting-edge vision correction techniques.
