A young male patient came into my office at the begining of February. He was interested in having the lasik surgery, but was not sure that he was a candidate because of his very high prescription. After evaluating him, I found that he was a perfect candidate for the “BLADEFREE”Intralase Method. The patient was a contact lens wearer and I recommended he be out of them at least a week before surgery. He did not own a pair of glasses, so we helped him get glasses for the short time before surgery. This patient was a -12.00 in both eyes, so my staff and I were very excited to help this young man achieve freedom from glasses and contacts. The day of his surgery he came in and was ready to take this next step in his life. He was here for a total of about two hours and when he left he was walking around just smiling that he did not have to leave with glasses. I have seen him post operatively since his surgery, and he has nothing but wonderful things to say about his new vision. So he is truly is a changed man!!
