Since childhood I had a lot of vision problems. At first I found it difficult to study at school because my eyes had a heavy load - I was asked to read many books and fulfill many exercises, because it was a private, demanding elementary school. When I was about 10 years old my parents took me to an ophthalmologist and he explained that I have to start wearing glasses if I want to preserve my current vision abilities.

I waited patiently for years, hearing about adults who had a laser surgery to correct their eyesight. I never liked the way I looked with glasses so I started using contacts. But my feeling was that I am still limited, especially when I went with friends to water parks, swimming pools, and some kinds of adventure sport activities.

Last December I turned 18. My parents knew what I want as a gift. They took me, based on my sister-in-low advice, to Dr. Boothe Laser Center. She gave this center a high recommendation. I grew wary of doctors but I wanted to restore my vision and with hope in my heart I went to talk to Dr. Boothe. He spent a lot of time with me and used all kinds of high-tech devices to check my eyes.

Most of all I was impressed by the quiet, ordered was this center operates. I could trust Dr. Boothe and his staff to fix my eyes for good. I was glad when Dr. Boothe said that I was a good candidate for intralasik surgery. I did not feel any fear, I read about this surgery online and knew it will be quick and will not hurt.

Dr. Boothe performed a complex surgery to restore vision on both of my eyes. He explained to me the technical details but I am not sure I can repeat them… Basically, after my surgery I rested for a few hours and then I started looking around and found out that I have almost perfect vision. Now I feel free to do anything I want without worrying about my eyeglasses or contacts. My parents and I want to thank you again Dr. Boothe for what you did for me.
