To The Eye Center,

This is to say thank you, thank you, thank you for answering my phone calls and the courtesy you gave me as I sought to know more about Lasik. My experience indeed exceeded my expectations. For me the procedure is a clear difference that I compare to dark and light. My vision improved almost immediately. The same day I had the procedure I could see so far that I cancelled my plans to have a driver take me to follow up appointment the next morning. I drove well and was so excited I thought to myself “I was blind but now I can see!” This for me is a new lease at life. Only I know what this new beginning really means to me.

When I told a few of my co-workers I would be having Lasik, some were skeptical and others fearful. Yet some were hopeful that as the “guinea pig”, I would be back with good eyesight so they could follow suit. As I write, two of my co-workers have made appointments to have a consultation.

To those doubting if the procedure works, take heart. My biggest fear was a possibility of losing my sight, but how I was mistaken! I am living proof that God has given the knowledge to the doctors to help improve our sight. They are not after your money. They do many tests, including the day of surgery, to ensure that you are indeed a good candidate for Lasik. If you are approved, go for it! You will be thanking the heavens for it! If you are not, the doctors will give you alternatives to consider. The team’s best interest is for you. They are attentive and will answer all questions to ensure you are satisfied and comfortable before the surgery. Best of all, it takes 15 minutes or less for both eyes! Can’t beat that!!

Sincerely,

Esther Ewart

The following account is the expression of joy that I have written to a group of friends, and I would like to thank Dr. Boutros for his wizardly skill that gave me a new vision to enjoy all the beautiful sights on earth without glasses.

Waking up last Saturday, I saw a crystal clear sight of the soft morning beams of sunlight peeping through the window, casting silhouettes of dancing oak leaves on the wall. I got up from bed and looked out of the window. There, my good old friend waved at me with her long stretch of branch while showing off her new spring dress of young green leaves which turned almost translucent by the sunlight. It was the most beautiful sight in my adult life because I was not wearing glasses.

It's a miracle performed by a skillful LASIK surgeon just fourteen hours prior.

You wouldn't believe that I went out for a ride in the country right afterward. I could see the thinnest layer of mist kissing the green meadow after a brief shower. NO GLASSES !!!

I'm not done yet. What I'm going to tell you will blow your mind berserk. I can see things near and far because my left eye was treated for me to see near, and my right eye, to see far. This is a new technique in LASIK surgery, called "mono vision". For people in the 40's age group, if both eyes are treated to see far, then you need reading glasses (old people's glasses) to see near. On the contrary, if both eyes are treated to see near, then you need the kind of glasses for near-sightedness to see far. Therefore they fix one eye for close-up vision, and the other for distance. And I'm glad took this option. 

I'm still not finished yet ! I went for a follow-up today. Guess what? Mission accomplished ! My left eye: 20/20. Right eye : 20/25. To add even more thrill, the doctor said "your vision will get better, sharper". I asked myself "How better could it possibly get? Am I talking to a wizard or something?"

Dear Dr. Boutros,

Thank you for the LASIK surgery that you performed on my eyes Saturday, April 21, 2001. The results that I am already achieving are incredible. After 35 years of wearing glasses and trying to wear contact lenses on numerous occasions, your skill, knowledge, and application of modern technology gave me a very special gift.

I have already had 3 colleagues ask for your name, phone number, and website. You and your staff will receive my highest regards and recommendation.

I will never be able to thank you enough.

Barron Bradford
