At nineteen years old I was told during an eye exam that I needed to wear glasses. I remember sitting in the office trying on frames and feeling like a real geek saying to myself "Do I really need them?" When my glasses were ready to be picked up and I put them on for the very first time, to my surprise there was c whole new world out there. Being self conscious about wearing glasses (even though I could see much better with them) I would rather have gone without them. When I finally got my first pair of contacts, I thought, " This is the greatest". Then I realized how much trouble they really were. Everyday I had to carry eye drops and if I went somewhere over night I had to practically carry an extra bag just for all the solutions.

I enjoy water sports and contact lens and water sports do not go together. I remember several times water-skiing, without my contacts and not being able to see anything around me. That was pretty scary. I heard about TPRK, a next generation laser procedure in which Dr. Salz is doing the FDA trials.

I was hoping to be a candidate for this new laser technology. My prescription was -2.75 and I could barely make out the (E) at the top of the eye chart. I was so excited when I met the FDA protocol and qualified for the TPRK laser.

On the day of my procedure I was all nerves, but I could hardly wait to be free from contacts. Dr. Salz talked to me through the whole procedure and before I knew I it, it was over! I was amazed how well I could see only minutes after my surgery. There was very little discomfort and three days later I was seeing 20/50. Now 6 months lather, my vision is 20/25 without any correction. I am very happy I decided to have this procedure and recommend it highly to anyone. It has changed my life and it could change yours.

Sincerely,

Kristine
