Sharing Success

I have two children. One is four and the other is one. Before getting this surgery, I was pretty blind without my glasses. With having children, no matter how old they are, they love to pull off your glasses and play with them. I went through so many pairs of glasses because of scratches, the frames being broken etc. The other bad thing about wearing glasses was at 3 AM when my babies are crying upstairs in bed, I wasn't thinking about putting on my glasses or looking around for them, I would automatically just get out of bed and run up the stairs to make sure they were ok. On the way down was another story. I can't tell you how many times I fell down those stairs because i couldn't see.

Now with my new eyes there is no more worrying about that. Also I love the fact that I can wear designer sunglasses, headbands, hats. It's amazing the freedom I feel now. THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH TLC. I feel like a new person!!!!!

" I'm still living in a surreal moment. I can''t believe how long I waited to have this surgery done. Every morning when I wake, I can''t get over how I can see the numbers on the alaram clock! I''m 35 and have been in glasses since I was 5. This was far one of the best decisions I made in life. Thank you TLC."

I didn't know that things could look so sharp and crisp. I wore glasses for over 40 years and I can't tell you what it was like to go swimming and to actually be able to see. I love my new vision and wish I had done the procedure earlier.

After receiving my custom LASIK procedure I headed down to South America for five months. I worked with a not-for-profit organization and started nutrition programs in a rural community and also taught English to schoolchildren. I also did extensive traveling in Peru and Ecuador, enjoying snorkeling in the Galapagos, clinbing Andean peaks, swimming in the sea, exploring the Amazon jungle and visiting Machu Picchu (fulfilling a lifelong dream of mine). And the best part Enjoying every minute without having to worry about glasses or contacts. I could not be happier with my 20/20 vision or my decision to have LASIK at TLC. Thank you, thank you, thank you

As a physician, I'm conservative by nature. Initially, I thought that Laser Vision Correction was a glitzy procedure reserved for those on the West Coast. During a vacation, sea spray continually fogged up my glasses. I came back from vacation and began reading about LASIK laser vision correction. Dr. Belin performed my procedure almost a year ago and my vision is now better than 20/20. I'm now a big advocate of the procedure!

I am a 34 year old graphic designer and I've been wearing glasses since third grade. After my optometrist highly recommended Dr. Belin, I attended one of his seminars and had LASIK done immediately thereafter. I have to admit I was extremely nervous, however, Dr. Belin and his staff made me feel very comfortable. Right after the surgery, numerous people came up to me and asked me how it was, and I say without any hesitation that I highly recommend it and it's a true miracle!

For as long as I can remember, I have been wearing glasses and have always found them to be an inconvenience particularly in sports and as a police officer where they went from a mild annoyance to a major concern. The laser vision correction procedure with Dr. Belin, which enabled me to see 20/20, was the best money I ever spent. Dr. Belin treated me professionally and I had total confidence in his surgical ability. I am very pleased with my new "vision" and I couldn't be any happier.

My professional life as a nursing administrator and assistant CEO as well as my love of outdoor activities made being dependent upon glasses and contacts a burden. I was very nervous before my LASIK procedure, but was given some mild sedation and the staff alleviated my fears. LASIK was painless both during and after the surgery. I was back at work the following day and returned to my normal activities, including volleyball and soccer, almost immediately. I would encourage anyone considering LASIK with Dr. Belin to do it now. It has changed my life and it will change yours for the better too.

I have been significantly nearsighted since my earliest childhood years and cannot recall a time anytime during my life where I did not wear glasses or contacts. I had laser surgery performed approximately 9 months ago and the overall results far exceeded my expectations. Not only do I have 20/20 vision in both eyes but my vision appears clearer and sharper than anytime before. The surgery was totally painless and I found Dr. Belin and his staff very professional.
