Sharing Success

Richard Mulrooney, SJ Earthquakes player, 2001 MLS Champion

"I was motivated to have laser eye surgery so I would not have to deal with the sore eyes I got from contacts and the hassle of putting contacts in and taking them out. I like the idea of having better eyesight for the rest of my life without the help of glasses or contacts. Everything was explained to me and I was treated "first class" the entire time. My treatment was professionally done from beginning to end. My experience at Furlong Vision Correction was great. It was everything I expected plus some. I would trust no one else, but Dr. Furlong with something so important to me as my eyes!"

Amanda Thomas, Office Manager

I was attached to my glasses and contact lenses for nearly 15 years, and was unable to even think of going somewhere or doing something without them. Dr. Furlong performed my LASIK with the utmost of care and with fantastic results. After seeing 20/400 for years, Dr. Furlong corrected my eyes so that I now see 20/15. Even a year and a half after surgery, not a day goes by that I don't think how happy I am that I had LASIK. I no longer have to squint to see road signs, worry about contacts popping out unexpectedly, or carry my glasses with me whenever I go on a trip. I just got my Scuba certification, and it was doubly exciting to know that I will never have to fear a lens washing out underwater. I can't say enough good things about LASIK, or about Dr. Furlong. He is personable, approachable, and cares about his patients. He worked with me to give me an incredible outcome, and freed me from a life of dependency on contacts and glasses. I have, and will continue to recommend him to family and friends.

"I have recommended Dr. Furlong to many, many people and I say why take any risk with your eyes. I came in for surgery and my eyes were examined. I watched another surgery take place. I simply sat in the chair, had my surgery done, felt good about it, and went home. The next time I removed the protective covers to see was the following morning. And I just went driving. It is really an emotional, tearful time. I can't believe it. I actually have eyes that can see now. The emotional experience was only second to having my first child."

Cheryl Hoffman,

Cheryl Hoffman had laser vision correction surgery on August 10th and now says "I can't recall a happier time in my life." She shared with us how the surgery had changed her life. "Being able to see without correction is the best. The thing that really made it worth going through is that I can now snuggle with my boyfriend without poking him with the corner of my glasses or having to take them off. I feel that this is truly the best thing that I have ever done for myself and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Your staff is so incredible. They made me feel special and comfortable, especially at surgery time. "Dr. Furlong, again thank you for everything. You have definitely found your calling as an eye surgeon. Great work and thank you for my visual freedom." 20/20 for the first time in 20 years.

"LASIK surgery is a piece of cake. It has made such a difference in my day-to-day activities. Life is good". My vision was 20/20 just a few hours after surgery. I was bugging my friend and telling her you have to get rid of your glasses now. She did not want to tell me that she went to another doctor and he was considerably cheaper. The price to have her eyes corrected was very, very low. In fact, it was unheard of. And it was unheard of because it was not really true. She went in to have her eye appointment and to sign on the dotted line, when she finds out it was going to be $800 more than she was told on the telephone. So to make a long story short, she did not do it and I sent her to see Dr. Furlong."

Sharyn Perea, Jeweler

Although my contacts served me fairly well, there is no comparison to the clear, crisp vision I experience since my LASIK procedure - and without the discomfort and inconvenience of contact lenses or glasses. I was impressed with Dr. Furlong's kind, caring attitude and also very confident with his extensive expertise in refractive surgery. His experience and knowledge allow him to put his patients totally at ease and be well prepared for a successful laser vision correction experience. Dr. Furlong's experience and knowledge, and his obvious love of this specialty, were deciding factors in my decision.

Dr. Jay Pruzansky, Surgeon

"Many doctors do laser surgery now for vision correction and the training differences vary from some who have done a weekend course and started doing a few procedures to people with fellowship training. Dr. Furlong had a fellowship and his case numbers were in the thousands and that gave me a lot of comfort. Not only does Dr. Furlong have the training, he has also been through the learning curve. My vision is 20/15 now."

Scott Bower, SJ Earthquakes player, 2001 MLS Champion

"I decided to have laser eye surgery, because I was tired of the hassle of contact lenses, especially when playing sports and worrying about them being knocked out. A couple of times before games, my contacts were blurred and it would mess with my head. After having laser vision correction, I will no longer have to worry about blurry vision.
