Patient's Comments
I just can't believe how well I can see and it's only the next day! Dr. Bansal and Melinda were so patient with me during the procedure, and I was extremely anxious. All in all, LaserVue has been just wonderful. I was able to watch TV and read a little for about six hours after the procedure. I can't wait to swim without having to worry about my contacts and I can't wait to put on eyeliner without being mere inches from the mirrow. But what I was looking forward to most of all, I can already do--see the clock from the bed! Thank you all for everything! Y'all are amazing!
Doctor's Comments
Melanie first came in, not feeling very hopeful because she has been told that she wasn't a good candidate. She didn't realize that technology has improved significantly since the last time she had looked into this, and that not all centers have the same laser and technology. After our examination, she was thrilled to learn that she was indeed a great candidate. Melanie's experience clearly shows that it really pays to seek a second opinion sometimes--in her case, it ended up changing her life forever. Congratulations.
