After RK surgery eighteen years ago, I developed problems with my vision that the words "farsighted" and "astigmatism" don't begin to describe.  I did not see well near or far, and it was worse knowing that my condition was the result not of nature, but an elective surgery. A couple of years ago, Dr. Salz told me that I could be helped by a new LASIK procedure. Partly because I had trouble accepting such good news, and partly because I had previously made a decision I'd come to regret bitterly, I sought other opinions from other eminent physicians. At some point I scheduled surgery with another doctor. My worst fears were fulfilled when he called me at the last minute to call of the surgery. He told me LASIK was not an option for me because my vision was so problematic the likelihood of a good outcome was too low to justify the risks.  Dr. Salz disagreed. He showed me specific examples of patients with my RK history and my numbers whom he had helped dramatically.  Fearful, hopeful and skeptical-- I went ahead with the surgery. The results have been excellent, truly amazing. I do not have words to describe the gratitude I feel for the doctor who did not turn me away because my case was not an easy one. There are many well-credentialed, well-recommended doctors doing LASIK , but Dr. Salz is in a class by himself.  To my mind, he towers above other physicians in character as well as skill.

Sincerely,

Deborah
