Great Lasik Experience!

I had lasik surgery in December 2008. Until that time, I wore glasses for 37 years. I spent my lifetime keeping up with my glasses, purchasing new glasses annually, and constantly having my glasses adjusted. I also worried about keeping a second pair available for accidents.
The actual surgery was an easy process. I felt no discomfort, and my recovery was just 1 day! Pam explained exactly what would happen before, during and after surgery, and Dr. Bryan directed me through the process. I felt as though I was the only patient that day. Immediately after surgery, I sat up and read the clock on the wall across the room! I slept through the afternoon with no issues and no pain. A week after my surgery, my eyes became very dry causing my vision to be blurred with some discomfort. Dr. Bryan worked with me to resolve the dryness which restored my clear vision.
Lasik has changed my life! I am able to play with my kids, exercise, swim, but most of all I can see clearly. I have sharper vision, and I can see smaller details. It has opened my world! I do not have to keep up with my glasses nor do I have the expense of purchasing glasses. I enjoy waking up each day and getting dressed without having to put on glasses in order to see my hair, put on makeup, or if my clothes match!!!
I recommend anyone who is interested to make the commitment to lasik so you can change your life for the better! You will not regret the ease of life without the worry of glasses or contacts. You will be able to do more things and enjoy more moments in your everyday life!!!

Eye Care is Essential to Good Eye Health

As you can imagine, eye examinations are very effective in detecting potential eye problems.  Why then do most of us fail to schedule regular exams until we need new glasses, run out of contact lenses or it is time to visit the DMV?

Our eyes are greatly ignored, though they are very important to us. Generally, receiving eye examinations is very effective to detect some potential eye problems. But because most of us fail to do this, many eye diseases become worsened when they are diagnosed.

People seldom pay any attention to their eyes till they become sick. However, those problems can always not be treated easily when finally diagnosed.

For example, the damage caused by glaucoma is not reversible and if left untreated, can cause blindness. This disease does not show any noticeable symptoms until it’s done a significant amount of damage.  But if detected at an early stage and treated properly, vision can be saved.

Prevention is much more effective than cure and receiving routine eye examinations is one of the best preventive methods.  We can have the joy of good vision -even as we age- by scheduling regular eye exams.
