Imagine life with less dependence on your contacts or glasses.
Whether you want to see with your eyes open under water, fall asleep watching TV without worrying about taking off your glasses, or go for a jog in the rain, you wonder what it would be like to feel the freedom of not needing glasses or contact lenses to see clearly.
You want to be able to talk to a doctor about laser vision correction – a highly experienced doctor who makes you feel comfortable, who teaches you about your vision and helps you decide whether or not this is a safe procedure for you.
