Dr. Huynh

 “At the Orange County LASIK Institute, I am honored and excited to be a part of your iLASIK and laser vision correction.  I have had iLASIK surgery with Dr. Pham at the Orange County LASIK Institute. Going from 20/400 to 20/20 has been a life-changing experience. It is my sincere hope that you have a great experience with us like I had. If there is anything that I can do to make the process of getting iLASIK or laser vision correction easier or more enjoyable please let me know.”
