LASIK Patient Story: Dwayne B.

A Real LASIK Patient Story – Dwayne B.

Every day, people from all walks of life make the decision to take the first step, and learn more about LASIK eye surgery. Are you wondering what it’s like to experience the benefits of laser eye surgery first-hand? Then there’s nothing like going straight to the source. Today, we’re going to take a closer look at the LASIK story of actual laser eye surgery patient Dwayne B., who relies on clear vision both to provide care to his patients, and to make the most of the simply joys in life.

What was life like before LASIK?

“I’ve worn glasses most of my life, probably starting around seventh grade. Because of my strong astigmatism, it was very difficult finding a comfortable pair of contacts.”

What was your experience like with The LASIK Vision Institute?

“My experience at The LASIK Vision Institute was enjoyable, professional, and a life-changing experience for me.”

What lifestyle benefits have you enjoyed most since your LASIK procedure?

“There’s nothing like seeing your kids at a recital, or a play, and not fumbling for glasses to try to take a photo.”

How would you describe your vision after your laser eye surgery procedure?

“I remember the first time I started to look at things around me in the house. I looked across the street in the trees, and I can actually see the birds, and the color of the birds. You could see the individual leaves, and I almost felt like I had a high-definition TV right in my own head.”

How has LASIK changed your life?

“If I had to describe how my life changed after having the procedure, I would say that I received more freedom – freedom to play sports, freedom to enjoy my family and friends. It’s probably one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences I’ve had in my life.”

Every laser eye surgery patient has their own unique story, and the story of Dwayne B. is a great example of the positive difference that LASIK can make for people with vision problems. After dealing with astigmatism since seventh grade, Dwayne is free to enjoy his favorite activities with newfound clarity. Our team at The LASIK Vision Institute is proud to help create the “life-changing” experiences that Dwayne mentioned, and will continue to work hard to provide an excellent standard of vision care for all of our laser eye surgery patients.
