Testimonials

- - Kimberly Rager - Intralase/Lasik patient 2008

I am thrilled with the Crystalens . I am better than 20/20. My vision is unbelievably great. I am a realtor, always on the road, and see very clearly. Going to the theater to see movies my vision is great without glasses as well as watching TV at home. At church services I can read the words to the hymns on the screen all the way to the front of the sanctuary. I am very happy with my new vision!"
- Margie Duncan - Crystalens patient 9/07

"Words cannot adequately describe the joy and excitement I feel after having my vision restored by Dr. Shanbom. A simple "thank you" seems too small in comparison, to the true gratitude and thoughtfulness that lingers in my heart towards you and your staff. This experience is more than a blessing to me - it is a miracle." - Clorette

"I had cataracts surgery in both eyes within the past month, and had RESTOR IOLS. The procedure was wonderful; all you people are wonderful. Reading is outstanding. I do have occasional halos with car lights at night, but the street lights are actually better. Thank you Dr. Shanbom." - Ron

"The procedure was a miracle. I can even read the calendar in my check book register. Distance vision is wonderful as well. I have no trouble driving, using my computer, or reading. Colors are great too. The only problem is constantly looking for my eye glasses. I'm thrilled to death." - Jane

"Dr. Shanbom performed my lasik surgery November 10, 1999. My prescription was -10.00, I had worn eye glasses since 5th grade and contacts for 30 years. To this day, 8/24/05, I have never needed an enhancement or a touch up. The way Dr. Shanbom did my lasik and gave me mono vision; I don't even need reading eye glasses. Lasik surgery is the best thing I ever did for myself." - Judy

"My Lasik Surgery was done over 5 years ago. I've worked in ophthalmology for 20 years and never thought that I would have laser for nearsightedness. When I saw Dr. Shanbom's surgical expertise, I knew I wanted him to do my Lasik. I was nearsighted since the 5 th grade, and I wore hard contacts for 20 years. I went to eye glasses because of eye irritation. I have enjoyed the summers more when we go camping, and I can see my kids in the water at the beach without eye glasses."
- Margaret

"The consulation, surgery and follow-up appointments were handled perfectly. My sight is 20/15 in both eyes. I can drive a car and play golf without eye glasses for the first time in years. Dr. Shanbom and his staff are the best!" - Mike

"I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how wonderful it has been since I've had Lasik surgery. I had my surgery done five yeas ago, and I could drive to work the next day! There was no pain whatsoever, and the only discomfort was alleviated with the eye drops. Having to suffer through dirty contacts and ill-fitting eye glasses, putting in eye drops was nothing! Every chance I get, I tell people about my surgery and how pleased I am with the results. Thanks again and keep up the good work." - Kevin

"As a lifelong runner, I would run and bike without my eye glasses, but I was never sure what was ahead. After Lasik, I saw a whole new side of athletics. The results are amazing. The procedure only took a few minutes and was not painful at all. I recommend this procedure for an athlete or anyone who wants to see their world in a whole new way." - Laurie

"Your business card just spilled out of my day planner, and I was reminded how many times I have thought I should write to you. You just don't know how grateful I am to have my 20/20 eyesight. I am so appreciative sitting in movie theaters, going for a run and seeing the branches of the tress in detail, swimming underwater, and driving. You and your staff - every one of them are wonderful. Thanks again."
- Marney

"My Lasik surgery was four years ago, I am terribly happy, and would do it again. I never needed a touch-up, and Dr. Shanbom is the greatest!" - Peter

"The CK procedure has made a marvelous difference in my life. My job requires me to do a lot of close-up computer work involving numbers and spreadsheets. Before CK, I had to put on my eye glasses and then remove them for other tasks. Also, I recently had dinner with three other friends and they all had to pull out their reading eye glasses to read the menu. I would recommend this procedure to anyone wishing to free themselves of eye glasses" - Betty

"I wanted to express how happy I am with the results of my CK. Just a few hours after the procedure was completed, I was able to read the newspaper without needing my reading eye glasses. Even though I was told it would take weeks to realize the optimum benefit from CK surgery, I have been able to significantly reduce my dependence on my reading eye glasses both at home and in the office." - Loretta

"My experience with CK has been a very positive one. It has been extremely helpful in both my electrology and permanent makeup careers. Prior to CK, I needed to put my heavy-duty magnifiers on to see where I needed to work, or to even throw away a needle and now I do not. It's also great being able to read my watch when I wake up in the morning. It has been a definite improvement in my life and I am highly recommending it" - Diana

"Since my CK Surgery, I can read, draw, paint, dial the phone, write, correct papers, mark scan sheets, apply make-up, read the dashboard, read the cash machine and read price tags. The entire staff treated me as though I was a distinguished guest! Additionally I was very impressed with the immaculate surgical facility."
