LASIK Patient Testimonials

"My best friend had LASIK in 1999 and he didn't have glasses anymore. My eye doctor told me I was a perfect candidate, but I was too afraid. Once I went to the LASIK consultation I was very excited. I had the procedure and now I get to wear fun sunglasses, go skiing with regular goggles or sunglasses, swim, and still see what is around me. I love being able to play with my kids and not have to worry about knocking them off or scratching them, and I love being able to see the clock at night! " - Heather

"I made one of my New Year's resolutions to have new eyes. It has renewed my life and now I even found another plus in the mornings to getting up and going to work out, I don't have to fumble with contacts or feeling uncomfortable with my glasses at the gym. " - Eric

"I'm a photographer and being able to look thru the lens of my camera after LASIK without my glasses is a miracle every day!! The funny thing is that I reach for my glasses each morning first thing, but only for a split second. Everyone tells me that I look 10 years younger without my glasses too! " - Laurie

"LASIK was one of the best things I have done for myself. It helped me be more active with my kids and playing sports. I went to China and Tibet 2 months after my LASIK and didn't have to worry about keeping track of my glasses. I was able to wear sunglasses on my hike up to Mount Everest Base Camp. I would tell anyone thinking about getting LASIK not to wait. " - Brian

"My wife Cindy and I had LASIK on the same day almost three months ago. To say that we are pleased would be an understatement. We were apprehensive in the beginning, but with the all the information we were given by your staff, as well as, the informal research we did prior to the procedure we finally calmed down enough to go through with it. It was a great decision!" - Ed

"I loved to scuba dive but because of my eyesight, I just couldn't see more than 5 feet in front of myself. Now because of my vision correction at the 20/20 Institute, I can fully enjoy it now. During spring break we went to Cozumel and I was able to see far and wide. Sharks, fish, turtles and all kinds of coral just to name a few of the things I was able to see clear for the first time. Thank you 20/20 for helping me to enjoy one of my favorite things even more." -Dawn

"My wife just had the surgery. I can tell you that she is very happy with the results so far, and seeing her happy makes me happy. As for myself, I don't know when I have ever seen such an efficient, smooth running, well oiled machine as the 20/20 Institute. What a great experience! From the moment I set foot in your office I saw only confident, friendly, helpful staff and professional doctors. Your staff's attention to detail in every aspect of operation was more than impressive. I was there every step of the way with my wife, and everyone we came into contact with was a top notch professional, from the front desk to the surgeon. The 20/20 Institute should be very proud to have such people represent their name. Your facility was so clean, bright, and open. It was such a pleasure to visit each appointment. Naturally I told everyone at work about our experience with the 20/20 Institute and told co-worker, who wants LASIK surgery soon, to contact your office. Thank you so very much." -Jeffrey

"I would really enjoy telling my story. Lasik has been a blessing. I can now see 20/20! It is easy taking vision for granted, especially at night when road signs come in clear. My whole demeanor and confidence has changed for the better. It is nice not to have to squint to see something on the weekends my wife and I take trips to different parts of the country. Now it is not a problem! I used to get headaches if I forgot to put glasses on in the evenings but not anymore! My overall experience exceeded expectations. Friendly service, professionalism, courtesy, and hassle free are all very important to me." -Mark

"I am now 20/15 in both eyes after laser surgery and couldn't be more satisfied. I'm not an athlete nor a fighter pilot, so wearing glasses did not impact my lifestyle greatly. It's the little things that have made the difference with my successful laser surgery. My face feels so much lighter without glasses. I can see my tiny digital clock glowing across the room at night. I'm not constantly polishing smeary lenses. I can see while swimming in the pool. I can go on roller coasters without fear of my glasses falling off. I can walk in the rain and let it splash my face without getting my glasses spotty. I can go from high humidity outside to cool air conditioning inside without my glasses ridiculously fogging up. I can wear eye-makeup that makes my eyes look bigger and brighter without a barrier in front of them. These things may sound trivial to some but having never had these experiences before, it's been wonderful to enjoy them. I wholeheartedly recommend 20/20 Institute to friends, family, and acquaintances. From the minute I walked in the door for my free consultation, I knew I was in for a unique experience. Everyone went out of their way to answer all the questions I had and make me feel more confident. I never felt rushed or like I was a hassle. Old habits die hard. Many mornings I wake up and automatically reach for my glasses. I still absently try to push them up on my nose while concentrating on something. When that happens, I just smile to myself and feel grateful for my liberation from glasses forever." -Erin

"Lasik's has improved my overall life tremendously. It is funny that on occasion I still hesitate thinking I forgot my glasses. When I was in 4th grade I started wearing glasses. I promptly quit wearing them and by 9th grade was given hard contact lenses. As years went by I was not able to wear soft lenses at all due to my astigmatism. An enormous benefit of LASIK is to roll out of bed if I have to leave on a moment's notice. This can happen since I am on call 1 week a month to volunteer for the Red Cross driving their mobile feeding vehicle to local disaster situations." -Monica

"My Lasik story is one that I hope inspires people who are somewhat skeptic and nervous at the same time. I had worn glasses all my life from the time I was just a little older the three years old. I was born with "Lazy Eye" and a very bad astigmatism. I can remember the frustration even as a little guy with the patching of my stronger eye trying to improve the weaker eye's condition, the "Coke Bottle" thick lenses and all the issues. In high school I can recount the difficulties playing sports and the issues with wearing glasses underneath my football helmet. Nonetheless, I was able to play at a high level given my limitations. I was always able to adjust pretty much to things but I hated to do anything in the water (water parks, water ski etc.) as I was blind as a bat without my glasses! I contacted your office and was immediately given an appointment for a complete evaluation. When I arrived at your office, all of the wonderful people greeted and treated me with the utmost courtesy and professionalism. My examination was very thoroughly done and comprehensive to say the least. The surgeon had to review all my findings for accuracy and final determination as to my candidacy. To my surprise I was contacted within a few days and told of my approval to go forward. My surgery occurred in January 2008, and at my check up I was seeing approx 20/20 minus a few in my left eye and about 20/25 in my left. Your surgeon's hands and skill have answered the prayers of a little boy since 1965. I wonder if he realizes that the day he decided to become a physician that his life's work would have impacted so many people in such a dramatic way! One other thing is sure is nice to wake up every day and see things clear and I love my New Oakley shades." -Jeff

"I had been putting off Lasik for five years and just had every excuse in the book not to do it, but I always knew how much I hated wearing contacts and glasses. I made an appointment to see my regular eye doctor to see if everything was ok with my eyes and to check and see if I was a LASIK candidate. After both questions came back positive I spoke to the doctor about LASIK. The office seemed confused and not very knowledgeable about the surgery and gave me half answers. So, I dropped it and did not pursue anything else. Around February I noticed I was on my last pair of contacts and had to re-order a new pair.that when I said I am getting rid of these from now on and doing LASIK. I had heard the commercials on the radio station in the mornings and decided to make an appointment and see what they could offer. The office was convenient to my home and easy to get to from my downtown office. After the consultation I knew right away that this was a first class place and I would go with these guys. Not only did they know their stuff but they were organized and the price was competitive. I had the surgery in the spring of 2008 and have had great 20/20 vision since! I am a big sports fan and it has made my life better by watching live games in my own High Definition! I would highly recommend 20/20 and believe that they are the best in Colorado!" -Tom
