I was legally blind without my glasses Anything beyond 10 inches from my face was a total blur.   Words cannot express how excited I feel everyday to clearly see the world without depending on glasses.

Both of my sisters-in-law had LASIK with Dr. Sklar.  I was skeptical because my glasses were so much thicker than the ones they used to wear. I am so glad I trusted their opinion and Dr. Sklar. My husband had his surgery two weeks after mine. We are a very happy "LASIK” family.

After losing my glasses in the lake while jet skiing, I said, “It’s time for LASIK!"Now when I am a "Weekend Warrior,” I experience the thrill of really seeing, while engaging in various athletics. An added bonus is being able to play with my son without him grabbing for my glasses.

I don’t need glasses, even for reading!  When I had my LASIK consult, I was wearing glasses for reading. Dr. Sklar said because of my particular prescription, after LASIK I would have about 10 years of freedom reading without glasses. I know this doesn’t happen for everyone, but for me it’s great.

We’re a "LASIK Family.”  My wife was a contact lens wearer. I only wore glasses for driving and just put up with the blur without my glasses. Driving to Florida, playing golf, and enjoying the scenery with just our own eyes was awesome!

I hated my glasses but wearing contact lenses around the dusty stables was not great either. I was so scared about the procedure. However, Dr. Sklar and his staff put me at ease, and I’m thrilled with my vision and the freedom I have when riding my horse or just doing daily things.

As policeman I wanted to be rid of the hassle of glasses. My vision after the surgery is great. An added benefit is rarely losing the ball when I’m playing golf.  My golfing buddies tease me and say I have bionic vision. I have so much confidence in Dr. Sklar that I referred my mother and father to him for cataract surgery. We are all impressed with his surgical skill, his rapport with patients, and his superb staff.

A business contact referred Dr. Sklar to me.  Dr. Sklar had performed LASIK on him, but had done cataract surgery on his wife.  I was impressed that Dr. Sklar's office wasn't just a "LASIK mill," but did all kinds of eye surgery.  I also immediately liked the manner and knowledge of Patricia Dowen, Dr. Sklar's LASIK coordinator.  The fact that they had FREE consultations, since some places charge $100 for this, was an added bonus.  They did a thorough exam with over 10 tests to make sure I was a candidate for LASIK.  Even though I had a ton of astigmatism and was wearing trifocals before surgery, I was reading very small print right after surgery.  LASIK surgery was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Reading glasses were such a pain.  I had them in every room and in my car and yet I could never find them when I needed them!  Having CK gave me the freedom to read like I did 10 year ago - no glasses needed!    --D.A.

Was I afraid?  Yes, I was.  My grandfather was blind, and even though I knew CK was an FDA-approved, safe procedure, I still had some fear about the unknown.  I'm so happy that I had CK.  I no longer have to search in my purse for my reading glasses when I go shopping.    --G.D.

I could never find my reading glasses in time to read my Caller ID.  Fifteen minutes after my CK procedure, I could read the numerals on my cell phone.    --G.W.

I am the envy of all of my friends.  I can read menus and books and price tags and phone numbers - without needing reading glasses.  My distance vision has also stayed great.  I am so glad that I had the CK procedure.    --K.C.

Pain was my biggest fear, and I truly didn't feel any pain during the procedure.  Afterwards, my eye felt a little scratchy, but that feeling went away in a few hours.  I tell all my friends:  "Go Do It"      --J.R.

What do I like best about CK?  I never have to reach for my glasses. Today, I counted how many pairs I have (and no longer need!):  4 in the house; 2 at work; 1 in the car; and 1 in the suitcase.  Now I can read everything without glasses.  It's great!    --J.P.

I would like you to know that you and your staff are the most courteous, pleasant and professional people that I have ever encountered in the medical field.  All of the personal care and attention that has been given to me will always be remembered.  --B.M.

Good vision is a blessing and I'm very pleased with mine, thanks to you!  We appreciate your kindness and your skill.  --D.L.

I would like to thank all of you for your attitudes toward your patients; you are all the example that people would hope to find in a doctor's office.  --W.G.

Thank you for making cataract surgery such a "piece of cake"! --J.T.
