Mike Staeck Testimonial
"It was about 7 or 8 years ago that Dr. Pruett suggested I might be a good candidate for RK surgery. I liked the idea and began to have my eyes tested to see if I could, in fact, have RK. I was disappointed to learn that I had the beginning of cataracts in both eyes and could not have the RK surgery. I continued to wear contact lenses and glasses, on occasion, and my eyes continued to bother me.
"My vision became less and less clear. I tried to convince Dr. Singh that I should have surgery to remove the cataracts on a couple of routine check-ups, but he insisted that the time was not right.
"I began having trouble seeing well enough at night to drive. The glare of oncoming cars was just too much. My contacts were set up for monovision, I was having difficulty reading at times, too. I had to have bright lights to see properly, and a magnifying glass to read some things. At the young age of 53, I felt like a full blown senior citizen. I didn't like it at all. It is amazing to me what a person learns to live with."
"On March 5, 2002 I had an eye exam with Dr. Pruett. He thought that I should have Dr. Singh look at my cataracts. After he examined my eyes, Dr. Singh finally agreed that the time was right, and I was scheduled for surgery on my left eye on May 16, 2002."
"I was very impressed with everyone involved with the preliminary tests, the hospital pre-op, the surgery room and post-op. I felt at ease the entire time because of their professionalism. I actually looked forward to my second surgery, knowing I once again would have nothing to fear."
"There is no way I can describe the joy I still feel every morning when I wake up to perfect vision. After much thought, I finally got up the nerve to throw all my contact lens 'junk' away. If I sound overly pleased, it's because I am. Thank you to everyone."
