Sharing Success

I am completely impressed with my new vision. Less than 24 hours after my surgery, my doctor said I had 20/20 vision. It has only gotten more crisp in the weeks since my surgery. Other than a little irritation in the first few weeks, I have had no problems. I still have to put rewetting drops in regularly, which my doctor says is completely normal for the first 3-6 months. The entire staff at the North Jersey office were extremely reassuring and helpful during my procedure. I would highly reccommend this office for Lasik surgery.

"Since fourth grade, I have been wearing glasses for distance. While in college I was able to afford soft contacts and wore them for almost 20 years. I would always tell my childen that if I ever came into money that the first thing I would do is have laser eye surgery. I am a single mother and work in the child care industry which is emotionally rewarding but not rich in the funds. My oldest son took a job down in Guantanmo Bay ,Cuba for the government and when he came home for Christmas announced to my whole family that he had scheduled an appointment for me for a consultation to have Lasik Eye surgery at TLC in North Jersey. The surgery was scheduled two weeks later and the day of the surgery I was nervous but excited about the freedom from glasses and contacts. Dr. Fox, my surgeon, had a calming voice as he did the procedure and explained every step of the way what was happening. My parents watched the procedure in the other room. As I was leaving with the funky eye wear, I started to cry . For the first time in 35 years, I was able to read a sign by the door without the use of glasses, contacts or squinting to see. This was a new beginning for me and a gift from my son that I will never forget!!"

"I am very happy to report that I have had no problems with my vision. I love the fact that I don't have to wear glasses that, no matter how careful I was, were continually getting scratched. I used to have to buy expensive prescription sunglasses and change my glasses as needed. Now I can buy the ones I like at a better price. I''m no longer blinded by the sun. I work at the computer at my job and no longer get headaches from the strain. It's amazing and I would highly recommend the surgery to my friends."

"My vision was so bad, I had to put on glasses if I got up in the middle of the night. I was blind without my glasses. I really wasn't considering lasik due to the expense until my brother had it done. He is as frugal as myself, and he could not stop telling me how it had changed his life. Then I met two other friends that had it done. I did shop around for surgeons and chose TLC due their qualifications, professionalism and cost. I can say that every day I wake up, I cannot believe I can see the alarm clock. I have had no problems was so ever. No tearing, no complaints. The whole TLC staff put me totally at ease. I was a nervous wreck the day of the surgery. There was no pain or discomfort. I even drove myself to my own appointment the day after the surgery and had 20/25 vision. I LOVE IT! I am a walking billboard for TLC. I can see while swimming, I can see in the shower (hard to shave your legs when you can''t see), I can see in the middle of the night. I save at least 20 min every morning since I don't fuss with contacts. I may eventually need reading glasses as my eyes were very bad, but that's okay! I can buy them over the counter. I'm a 43 yr old married mother of two. This was something that I did totally for me and that also makes me feel great!!! Thanks TLC!!

"I am very happy with my new vision. I am 34 years old and have been wearing glasses since I was 14 years old. It feels really good not to have to worry about contacts or glasses. I had my surgery on july 30, 2004. I was pleased with the staff and doctors for making me feel at ease. I would definitely recommend the surgery to anyone but I would tell them to have it done at tlc because i felt very comfortable. I would like to thank the doctors and the staff for making me feel calm.again, it is such a great feeling to be able to see without glasses and contacts."

I wanted to take the time to tell you and the unbelievably sweet and professional staff at TLC how please I am with my recent Lasik Surgery.

At last eye exam, vision was between 20-15 and 20-10. The inconveniences of working out, playing sports, and riding the motorcycle while wearing glasses are gone.

The weekend after the surgery (Easter weekend), I had inadvertently left my prescriptions at home while on travel for the holiday. Your emergency phone service was able to have a prescription filled in Pennsylvania Saturday evening, and all was well.

I have recommended your facility and TLC to all my friends and colleagues. The surgery is one of the best things I have done for myself, and I could not be more pleased with the results. Nor, could I have expected a more seamless procedure, a higher level of professionalism, affability and thoroughness that helped me through a moment or two of anxiety.

Thanks for everything and good luck to the staff at TLC North Jersey.
