Having Astigmatic Keratotomy (AK) was an incredible experience. I thought I would have to wear glasses constantly for the rest of my life. Without my glasses I was unable to watch the television or read a book, since astigmatism affects both far and near vision. Everything was blurry. I was very frustrated having to wear my glasses all of the time. When I found out that I was a good candidate for AK surgery I became very exited. For once in a very long time I would be able to be less dependent on my glasses.

The procedure was painless, I felt very little pressure on my eyes during the surgery. I experienced slight discomfort during the first two weeks and some sensitivity to bright lights. The results I noticed were unremarkable. I could read, drive and watch the television without my glasses.

I recently went to the DMV to renew my drivers license and passed the vision test without the aid of my glasses. It is a wonderful experience being able to see well. No more glasses or contact lenses. I thank God for looking over me and Dr. Salz for his expertise and knowledge on refractive surgery.

Sincerely,

Claudia
