"My glasses were so thick that my husband told me that Coke called and wanted the bottoms of their bottles back. They would give me dents on the top of my nose and give me headaches. They were just very thick lenses…I couldn't see the top "E" on the eye chart…I had to hold books 2 to 3 inches away from my face to see the print on them…
…When I sat up after the (Customized LASIK) procedure was completed, I could see the eye chart without corrective lenses. For the first time in my life, I didn't have to stand 2 feet away from the chart to see the letters…Within 3 hours of the procedure I was able to read a menu on the wall behind the counter when we went out for lunch…I had 20/15 vision the next morning after the procedure…I went to the beach this last Fall for the first time in my life without corrective lenses. I was able to snorkel. I was able to be in the sand and the saltwater and the wind, and I never once had to worry about my eyes.
I have to say this is the best thing I've ever done for myself…I would say to anyone if you're considering this procedure (Customized LASIK), don't wait another minute! Perfect vision, good vision, is the best thing you can do for yourself."

"A friend of ours in our office had her procedure with Eyes of Texas and had just glowing responses, and said that "you've just got to go there." …The (Eyes of Texas) office is just so wonderful. They go through step-by-step exactly what's going to happen. And you go in and it's (Customized LASIK surgery) is done before you know it. And you sit up and you can see. And it's just phenomenal…
Life is the greatest now. It is just so exciting to wear real sunglasses, not prescription sunglasses. And I think one of the best things everyone says is, "Your eyes are so pretty!" Now they can see where your eyes are and how beautiful they are…Now that I look at it I'm thinking, "Why did I wait so long to do this?"…It's just the greatest thing in the world."

"(Before Customized LASIK) my eyes were so bad for so long that not only could I not see the alarm clock next to me, but I couldn't see anything…The day of my procedure was amazing...You go home. You take a nap. You wake up and you can see immediately…I remember waking up, seeing the alarm clock next to me and also seeing the clock on the wall across the room…I would definitely recommend Eyes of Texas. It's been an amazing experience."

"When you are always on the road like we are, it really makes it nice not having to deal with glasses or contacts. It's one less thing you have to worry about. After LASIK, I noticed a huge difference in my eyesight...things at short and longer distances seemed more clear (the glove looks a little closer). Not to mention there is no glare from lights at night, whether it's lights over the baseball field or driving. I would highly recommend it to anybody.
Thanks again Eyes Of Texas Laser Center!"
- Homer Bailey, Professional Baseball Player/Louisville Bats
It's been six months since I did the (LASIK) surgery, and I want to let you know that I feel that it was the best medical decision I ever made...
...I went for my annual physical, and they tested my eyes. They said that I had the best vision they had ever tested!!!
I tested better than 20/10 in both eyes.
In fact, for the close up test, I pointed out to them that there was a problem with the bottom line of the letters. The examiner got really close, squinted, and said, "You are right! Its been that way the entire time and nobody has noticed."
- Ben Turner, VP Actuarial Services
"It was easy to learn what LASIK vision correction is all about and what
the results are supposed to be. It was not as easy to know who I would
and could trust with the only eyes I have.
Watching all the programs on LASIK vision correction that I could, I knew I needed
a doctor that specialized in LASIK surgery. It is my opinion that education,
experience and equipment were just the beginning to making sure a doctor
was the best doctor to work on my eyes. The doctor that I selected
had to have a heart that would care more about my eyes than he did about
financial gain. I felt that the price was important, but not so important
that I would risk my eyes for a few dollars less or think a few dollars
more would create better results. I wanted to have the best information
I could get, and with that information, make the best decision I could
on who I would trust to work on my eyes.
I went to the Eyes Of Texas seminar and liked what I heard and saw. I made
the appointment to have the free eye exam at the Eyes Of Texas office.
The office was very clean. The exam was very thorough. The staff friendly,
professional and at no time did I feel pushed to make a decision. I
watched and listened to Dr. Wong as he explained what results I could
expect and liked how he treated me as a person. Then and only then did
I know I would trust Eyes Of Texas to work on my eyes... The great relief
that I have not having to wear glasses is wonderful."
- Jackie Roberts, Retired Nurse and Business Owner
"I've always worn contacts. I thought they were wonderful---until I had my LASIK surgery.
My physical education students love being able to stay out for class on
windy days. They never had the opportunity when I wore lenses due to all
the trapped dust and particles that would make my eyes hurt. As a competitive
softball player, I've noticed a tremendous increase not only in my batting
average, but also my level of confidence. I could never track an inside
pitch while wearing contacts, and I hated fielding balls with the glare
off the lights at night. Now, it's my favorite pitch and I feel a lot
more confident fielding balls because I don't have to worry about night
glare. I recommend LASIK eye surgery to all my friends and anyone who
spends time outdoors, or lives an active lifestyle. The surgery was quick
and painless, and the recovery time was incredible. I was back to school
the very next day!"
- Olivia T. Zamarripa, Physical Education Teacher
"What a new
lease on life! No fumbling for glasses, cleaning & fussing over contact
lenses every day. Seeing perfectly the moment I wake up! Reading the car
control panel without fumbling for reading glasses while wearing my contacts
for distance. Best thing anyone can do for themselves to make life more
simple and less complicated! Eyes Of Texas Laser Center is the BEST!!""
- Betty Zimmerman, Legal Secretary
"Never in
my wildest dreams did I think I would ever have the 20/15 vision I have
now. Before I had the quick and painless procedure done I was considered
to be legally blind without glasses. Dr. Wong has brought an amazing technique
to central Texas. His seminars are informative and there are no hidden
agendas. I could not be happier with the results."
- Margaret C. Scott, Self-employed
"I have the
utmost respect for you and your staff and am very impressed with your
focus on quality and customer/patient service. It is easy to refer my
friends to you because I know you will treat them professionally and give
them the highest quality care."
- Konyi Hansen, Homemaker
"My decision to have LASIK performed on my eyes has been one of the best decisions
I've ever made. The procedure was completely painless and now I have 20/20
vision after years of wearing contacts and glasses. Finally being rid
of contacts and glasses has been liberating. I no longer need to worry
about losing a contact lens or scratching my glasses."
- Todd Vanden Branden, Customer Service/Inside Sales
"I want to
thank you for liberating me from the glasses and contacts, that I have
worn since the age of twelve. Since I lead an extremely active lifestyle,
with long work hours and a variety of outdoor hobbies, my glasses have
always been a problem, and I had waited years for a safe and reliable
method of permanently correcting my vision. After carefully reviewing
my options and speaking with several people who had undergone the LASIK
procedure, I had no problem getting my initial appointment with you, In
fact, I was able to pre-schedule my surgery before my evaluation, simplifying
my already complex schedule. After my initial visit, I felt confident
in my understanding of the procedure and the risks and benefits it involved.
On the day of my surgery I was not nervous or frightened, and I felt the
entire procedure to be completely painless and surprisingly brief. I took
a cab home and slept for four hours, and on awakening I found the vision
in my right eye to be 20/20 - maybe better! By the following day, my left
eye was 20/25 and continued to improve over the next day or two. My vision
is now at least 20/20, and without my glasses I no longer get the headaches
and neck tightness that 12 to 14 hours of work can bring on. I can now
jog or cycle or swim and still see perfectly - something I hope I'll never
again take for granted.
As a fellow
physician, I want to compliment you on your outstanding devotion to
your patients. Your excellent explanation of the procedure, along with
your extensive experience and calm bedside manner during the surgery,
provide your patients with a confident, positive and personalized experience.
I have already referred several people to you, including my own wife,
and have received nothing but glowing praise for your care. I wish you
continued success, and would be happy to speak to any of your patients
about my experience."
