Patient Stories

Soon after I had LASIK surgery, I was able to travel to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.  I was able to learn Spanish in the morning , enjoy the beaches in the afternoon, and attend many social events at night.  I was able to fully function in a hot, humid, and sand filled environment with no problems.  It was the first trip I took without glasses or contacts and I cannot remember how I managed to put up with and maintain glasses and contacts!

“One of the things I most enjoy about being spectacle free is that it can RAIN  and I don’t have to worry about my already impaired vision becoming more blurred by pesky raindrops!”

Since elementary days I have been wearing glasses and I stopped counting after 30 pairs of glasses bought since then. I never thought I could live without glasses, but now look at me! Not wearing any thanks to them. Since I had LASIK done, I am able to not only wear mascara, but a whole set of eye make-up! I look better and I have perfect 20/20 vision. People started noticing me for the first time without glasses.

Why did I wait so long to have the surgery? Everything has changed since LASIK, no more searching for my glasses or pushing my glasses up because they slide down my nose. I am able to play pool or other sports and not worry if  I can  see and judging the distance where my glasses end.

“At first I was skeptical. I didn’t know how my this would turn out. The morning after was an experience I will soon never forget. I woke around 7am and was hesitant to open my eyes but when I did I could see. I called everyone I knew to tell them the good news about my new “eagle eyes” I now had. This procedure truly changed my life for the better.”
