How Our Patients Feel About LASIK Surgery!


I am thrilled with my surgery. Lasik truly is a miracle!  I was very impressed with you and your staff. Everyone has been very nice and you all made me feel very comfortable about the entire procedure.  I especially was grateful that during the surgery you kept me informed of what was happening and how well things were going. The banter between staff and the music was nice too.  I couldn't be happier. I am telling everyone and referring all of my friends to you. Thank you for changing my life!!

I am 43 years old and had been wearing corrective lenses for nearsightedness since the age of 16.  I am an attorney by profession and I am also very active in many sports including water and snow skiing, squash and tennis.  Over the years, my nearsightedness grew progressively worse.  Nevertheless, I had always had a pretty easy time with daily wear contact lenses. Because of the fact that I felt that I really didn’t need LASIK and didn’t have much trouble with my lenses, I considered myself to have been a pretty tough patient to please.  Dr. Edmiston and his staff succeeded.  

My experience was excellent.  The procedure, risks and benefits were fully explained and all pre and post operative appointments were prompt and efficient.  The surgery took about an hour and the results were, as far as I am concerned, perfect.  My vision is 20/20 or better in both eyes.  I have experienced none of the “side effects” rumored to result from the procedure like blurry night vision, dry eyes or the need for reading glasses.  Without hesitation, I recommend Dr. Edmiston and his staff if you are considering laser corrective surgery.

LASIK is definitely quite the experience !! Especially for someone like me who at 45 years old has worn glasses since the age of 5. At that age I was too young to remember what it was really like to be able to wake up and "SEE THE WORLD". But now I can !! The best part about the procedure was the quickness of it all. Throughout all of my appointments and my procedure, your staff has been outstanding! They always made me feel very comfortable and at ease with it all. The thought of having surgery on your eyes is a bit scary. I mean this is your eyes we are talking about.

But between you, your staff, and the informative packets you gave me, I had made up my mind to do this. And when you told me that first day that I was definitely a candidate for LASIK surgery, I jumped around like a little girl going to Disneyland for the first time. And words cannot express the feeling I had when I woke up the morning after the surgery, when I opened my eyes and could actually SEE the pictures of my children that are on the wall. And then later on that morning when I got in my car and drove for the first time in my life without having to wear contacts or glasses. So I thank you very much for giving me my sight back. I am SEEING the world differently thanks to you and your staff!

I highly recommend Dr. Edmiston and the LASIK surgery he performs!  

When I first went to see him in 2001 for a free consultation, he recommended that I wait to have the surgery performed.  Although my prescription had remained the same for several years, he explained that my pupil size was too large for the current technology to do an accurate job.  He warned me that there would be other doctors who would perform the surgery if I really wanted it done, but it would be wise for me to wait and see what new technologies might come out to improve the current lasers.  

After meeting with Dr. Edmiston, I scheduled another consultation with a different doctor.  Dr. Edmiston was right.  That surgeon said he could do it.  When I compared the lasers that were being used, I found they were identical.  I decided to wait.  

This past fall (2003), I went to visit Dr. Edmiston again.  This time, I did qualify with the new FDA approved Wavescan, which significantly increases the accuracy of the laser.  I had my LASIK surgery in January of 2004.  I went from a prescription of 20/350 & 20/450 to 20/15!  I am very grateful to Dr. Edmiston (and his staff) for their honesty, integrity, and professionalism.

I want to thank you and your staff for the amazing results of my Lasik procedure. I was concerned about operating on my eyes, however, your professional and understanding manner made this one of the easiest medical procedure I've ever experienced. Your staff made it their mission to see that I was totally comfortable and informed. All I can say is "Mission accomplished". My vision is better that I'd expected and my anxiety level is nil.  Thanks again for the great job!

It has been almost 3 years since my LASIK surgery with Dr. Edmiston and my eyesight is still great.  The results have been excellent.  I have been able to play sports without bothersome glasses.  The process with Dr. Edmiston was easy and quick.  I am very happy with my decision and my new freedom from glasses.  In fact, I can hardly remember what it was like to have glasses or not be able to see what was going on around me.  I have recommended the procedure and Dr. Edmiston to anyone and everyone who has asked me about my experiences.

Thanks for giving me this opportunity to express my appreciation to you.  Since my vision surgery, I've been traveling / Scuba diving around the world enjoying my new perfect vision.  I can see very well for my close up vision as I am filming micro shots for my under water creatures, as well as far away vision got significantly improved so I can see miles away for whales and barracudas schooling, 150 pound Potato Cods around the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.  No More contact lenses to deal with, so I don't miss a thing  !!!
 
Thanks to you and your excellent crews for my vision.  My life sure has been more comfortable since I can see 20/ 20  !!

I raise a toast to you and your staff for a pleasant experience. I was so happy with my results I sent my brother, my best friend and my cousin visiting from Italy to you. Now I can enjoy nice evenings out without glasses. What a wonderful moment it was/is to go swimming and scuba diving without worrying about losing my contacts. You and your staff have always been so friendly and welcoming with every visit. I tell everyone I meet to see Dr. Dave for their new eyes!

It has been almost three weeks since I have visited Lasik of Sacramento and had my eyes done…and I am so surprised at how shocked I am see, that well, I can see really good…and… without glasses…or contacts! I CAN SEE REALLY GOOD!  Do you know how unbelieveable this is, after 40 years of not seeing so great?  I am so overwhelmed with such wonderful feelings within. Feelings that you will never ever be able to completely describe. Some feelings of newfound freedom, some feelings of disbelief, and amazement…and so much more…all as a result of what Lasik of Sacramento has provided for me!

When Sharon Edmiston said she couldn’t wait to see my happiness, she wasn’t kidding and in fact, that was such an understatement of what I am now going through. I am way happy (smile).  I will just tell you I am over 45 years old, but my point is, this at my age, gosh, I feel so new, you know, so reborn!

The cool thing was that we all know Sacramento has other Lasik places to go, but it is unlike Lasik of Sacramento. Only a Dr. Dave Edmiston can give you the expertise and technology you need to be reassured of expert work and only a Sharon Edmiston can give you the heart of easing your nervousness and fears. The bottom line though, is that only Lasik of Sacramento can make you a happy individual. So,  thank you, Sharon, Dave and Lasik of Sacramento for making me a wonderful and brand new person!

I had Lasik surgery in Jaunary 2001 - I walked out of the office in goggles but still could see better than I had in over 40 years.

Aside from the fact that the surgery changed my life - was VERY pleased at the customer service FOLLOW-through with your staff; they never missed a beat in calling-even a year later to check up on me!!!

I had heistations when I entered your ofice for the first time; reminded me of a scene from "Back to The Future"...(with your white hair and all-sorry), but in some small way it made me feel even more assured in my decision to have the surgery-DONE BY YOU!

Good job-and HAVE given out your name and number many times the past 4 years!!!

Was the best thing I have ever done for myself.  Well worth the money.  Went from 20/400 to 20/15 vision.  Great Doctor, Great Staff, Great Experience!

Hi David, my experience was great. I found that the procedure was amazingly quick. The staff were absolutely wonderful, warm and friendly. I felt pampered. After the procedure, I went home early and went to bed early. I woke up feeling refreshed. That morning for the first time in 35 years I was able to drive to work without my glasses. It was a new found freedom!
