safety is greatest concern:
Bruce

Driving at night can often be a distressing experience. Driving at night while wearing glasses that may cause glare from the oncoming traffic's headlights can be even more dangerous. This was the scenario for Bruce who felt these nighttime visual distractions were too big of a risk and an unacceptable situation with his children in the car.

"The angst of that 'split second' moment that can change your life forever was constant when I drove at night. Fortunately, that concern is now a thing of the past."

Bruce, a 43-year-old real estate developer from New Orleans, LA, had worn eyeglasses since junior high. He experienced a new-found freedom from his eyeglasses two years ago, after undergoing the CustomCornea® laser eye surgery.

"It's simply wonderful not having to worry about eyeglasses any more. I'd always fall asleep with them on, then wake up and couldn't find them. I have even rolled over on them on several occasions. Eyeglasses are expensive enough, but then having to pay for accidental replacement was ridiculous. CustomCornea® has already paid for itself—I'm actually saving money now."

Bruce had been considering laser eye surgery for several years, but was worried about the potential problems often associated with LASIK surgery. After learning about the new wavefront technology, he spoke to his doctor about it again, and together they decided that it was the right time to undergo the procedure.

"This is the best thing I've ever done. I can see so clearly now. This procedure proved one of the biggest skeptics wrong. I highly, highly recommend it to anyone considering LASIK."

For Bruce, the surgery was simple and painless. Within three to four hours following his procedure, he was able to read the closed captioning on his television. Bruce is now seeing better than 20/20 in both eyes. More importantly, he feels safer driving his wife and two teenagers around at night.

Results may vary and some people may still need to wear corrective lenses after LASIK. As with any medical procedure, there are risks involved with having LASIK eye treatment and not everyone is a good candidate for the procedure. Your eye doctor can discuss LASIK's risks and benefits with you, and help you determine if you are a good candidate for LASIK eye treatment.
