LASIK Success Stories

November 08, 2016

Overall, patients who have received LASIK are happy with their results. An analysis of 3,000 peer-reviewed papers by the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery revealed that the patient satisfaction rate for LASIK ranks at more than 95 percent. At Piedmont Eye Center, our customers are happy with their results. Many say it has changed their lives, and a lot say that it has been the best choice they have made for themselves. Here are a few of our LASIK success stories:

With Christmas rapidly approaching, you may be thinking about getting yourself a present. Brenda Edson says LASIK is the best present she ever bought herself:

I still find it miraculous that I was able to go from not being able to see clearly several feet in front of me to having better than perfect vision. In fact, everyday as I drive to and from work, I’m reminded how greatly iLASIK™ has changed my life. I can see everything so clearly, and it just makes me so happy to have that ability now. I am so glad I made the decision to have iLASIK™ and to have it at Piedmont Eye Center. I truly feel like I gave myself the best present ever. -Brenda Edson

Old habits may die hard after getting LASIK, but that doesn’t take away from the success of the surgery.

Thanks to Dr. Bowers and the team it’s the little things in life that I can now enjoy without worrying about whether or not I will be able to see. Although, I will admit that I occasionally wake up in the morning and reach over to grab my glasses. Only then do I open my eyes to see EVERYTHING. -Troy Doss.

Before, during and after the surgery, our staff will take care of you every step of the way.

After my surgery, it was like night and day. I could see clearly immediately. The doctor, not his staff, even called me the afternoon of my surgery to check on me! By the second day, I had no irritation and I have been seeing clearly ever since! Over the next 3 months my sight seemed to not only clear, but the night shadows also cleared up. From the great staff who helped me, to the simplicity of setting up my flexible spending account, to my complete satisfaction and enjoyment of having clear sight, this has been an easy process. -Penny Abbott

The day of surgery, I was very anxious and nervous. Dr. Bowers and his team were very comforting. The next morning, I opened my eyes and was able to see the alarm clock across the room, which I was never able to see before. It was a miracle! I cried and thanked God. I was very grateful and am blessed to have great eyesight. -Lucy
