Sarah's Story

Before I had LASIK I had to put my contacts in before I could do anything, and if I didn't use contacts, I had to wear glasses. It was expensive to use contacts or glasses... buying them all the time. Some of my friends had done LASIK and had great results so I thought it might be worth it.

I was a little nervous at first to have it done, but I became very comfortable with ClearVision and Dr. Cherne. Where I was from at the time, we didn't have any real experienced LASIK surgeons so I came here to ClearVision. You can't do a procedure like that without knowing what to expect. It's very important to know what will happen and Dr. Cherne's clinic did a really good job with me, taking the time to explain the procedure, what to expect before and after, showing me how things would work, and the equipment that would be used...just making me feel really comfortable.

I was kind of nervous before the surgery, but was surprised at how quickly and easily it went. After the procedure I actually went to sleep...for about 6 hours. When I woke up the blurriness was already going away. The next morning I came in for a follow up appointment and I was 20/15... and I was 20/200 before the procedure.

It was the neatest feeling...things were so clear...things were crisp clear! My vision was better than with my glasses on or my contacts. It was kind of a euphoric feeling to know that's how my eyes were going to be, from then on... it's been three years and my vision has not changed a single bit...it's cool...very cool.
