I have worn glasses and contacts for the past 16 years and never thought I could see without them. I couldn’t even see my alarm clock right beside my bed in big bold red numbers. As an OR nurse, I use my vision for the safety and well being of my patients. I am also the mother to a very active and precious 17 month old boy. What would happen to my son if he needed me in the middle of the night and I couldn’t see without my glasses. So one day when my husband asked me what I wanted for Christmas I said “LASIK!”

I went in for my free consultation and Debbie was great. She was so thorough and explained everything to me. She really eased my nerves. My biggest fear was whether I would be a candidate for the LASIK procedure. When Dr. Bowers came in told me I was a perfect candidate for LASIK I wanted to jump for joy! I couldn’t believe I would soon be seeing without the aid of glasses or contacts.

The next week I was set up for my LASIK procedure. Shannon taught me all the post-op care and told me what to expect. Her friendly and positive attitude just relaxed me entirely. The whole LASIK team was outstanding! Everyone told me what they were going to be doing to me and what to expect ever step of the way. My experience with Piedmont Eye Center and Dr. Bowers and the whole LASIK team was awesome!

Everyday I am amazed at the fact that I can jump out of bed and go about my day without having to think about glasses or contacts. I have to admit I did a lot of bragging after LASIK. I was 20/15 the day of my procedure! I have told everyone I know that wears contacts or glasses that they should consider talking to Dr. Bowers to see if they too are a LASIK candidate.
