CLE Testimonial

Before my procedure, I had three pairs of glasses. I had progressive lenses for travel and for attending meetings at work. I had a different prescription for the focal distance of my computer and I had a drug store pair for reading the small print in pocket novels and on grocery and pharmacy labels. On top of that I had contact lenses for sports. I was looking for a solution to all the hassle.

Before I went for my assessment I read everything I could find about laser surgery and I spoke to a number of people who had had the procedure. As it turned out I was not an ideal candidate for laser correction but Dr Edmison suggested Clear Lens Exchange and mono-vision correction. I decided to go ahead and my experience was everything I had hoped it would be and more.

The staffs, at Focus Eye Centre and the Everest SurgiCentre were totally competent and friendly. They led me through the testing and answered all of my questions, so that when I arrived for surgery I wasn't nervous or apprehensive.

The surgery, which only took about fifteen minutes for each eye, was completely painless, my vision improved immediately and recovery was fast. It's like being a kid again. I have 20/15 vision in my right eye and 20/20 in my left and the first time I came in from the cold this Winter and did not have to deal with fogged up glasses, I smiled and wondered why it took me so long to make the change. Now I can hardly wait for spring, so I can hit the golf course wearing a nice pair of sunglasses instead of contacts and eye drops.
