I am still in awe at how such an extremely quick procedure can alter the way I have been seeing the world since I was 10, which is when I started wearing glasses. For 36 years, I have been hassled by glasses, dry contacts, and tired eyes and in 10 minutes Dr. Lessner gave me a new found freedom. The other day, I was looking up at the moon and I saw its craters so sharp and defined, I felt like I was superhuman. I was also at the gym the other day on the treadmill, and as I was watching TV, I couldn’t believe how crystal clear and sharp the TV was. I know I have read other people say “it is a miracle”, and it may sound overused, but for anyone who is terrified of ever being in a situation without glasses or contacts, it really is indeed, a miracle. I went to see Elton John the other day, and even though I had good seats, I didn’t need my binoculars to see the details of his band and I made it home from Miami to Boca at night with no night glares or halos at all. I think the best part of doing this, is just waking up in the morning and seeing, no matter what it is that I see! Just like everyone else has recounted, I really wish I had done this so much sooner! Dr. Lessner is a modern day miracle worker and his staff were so genuinely happy for me, so concerned and attentive to every detail. I was most impressed with how they showed me what my vision would look like with sample glasses of the prescription – that helped me determine the strength of the monovision and if I should do it. I knew I would probably have to wear “cheater” glasses either way, but so far – no cheaters for me!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you is not enough….
