 "One day while driving to work, I got something in my eye, when I rubbed it the contact folded up under my eyelid. Needless to say that was a very dangerous and uncomfortable situation. I called the Balin Eye & Laser Center the next day. It's wonderful to see clearly as soon as I wake up and to not have to take my contacts out at night. There are so many benefits but the best one is comfort - no more dry, irritating contacts or steamed up glasses."

 "LASIK surgery was my 30th birthday gift to myself - New Eyes! I had worn glasses since the fifth grade and contacts for nine years. I was ready! The whole procedure was amazing and my results were outstanding! I spent a week at the beach a month later and didn't have to contend with gritty - oily - sandy - hazy contact lenses every day! (sweet freedom!) I was married on Thanksgiving Day and smiled through tears of joy and I could even see after crying! Thank you, Dr. Balin - I don't think I'll ever beat this birthday gift!"

The benefits are unexplainable there are so many. Every inconvenience of bad vision - gone. Every minute of being able to see perfectly is amazing. It's the best gift in the world. Balin Eye & Laser Center has been wonderful - thorough, considerate, warm and completely professional."

 "A whole new outlook on life! I am so excited to be free of those thick lens I had worn for 37 years. Since the age of 5 years old I had worn glasses. I had never realized how much they held me back from doing the things I really wanted to do. Things like sports, or amusement rides or anything that would be a threat to breaking or losing my glasses. I can't tell enough people how happy I am and how wonderful your staff was helping me achieve the excellent vision I now have. Thank you all!"

 " I have worn glasses since the third grade. My life has been a series of frames, lenses, and contacts. I didn't know what it was like to go to the beach and actually see what was in the water - or who was waving to me from the beach. Since my surgery, I am happy to say that my first experience with snorkeling was a thrill! On a recent vacation to the Bahamas with my kids, I was able to see the fish and coral reefs! I am thrilled with the results of my surgery. Thank you Dr. Balin and staff!!"

This past Mother's Day, at picture taking time, my daughter asked me to please take off my glasses and put them in my purse! This was like a wake up call!!! The next day I called Dr. Balin's office. LASIK surgery in both my eyes was the best move I ever made! No more glasses for driving, reading or everyday use! I am a very happy post-LASIK surgery gramma!!! Thank you Dr. Balin!!!"

Once I was satisfied with the information, I decided to go ahead with it and have not looked back.

lenses have been a part of my life that I just
got used to. When I learned of LASIK, I was
so excited! Swimming with my eyes open, no cleaners
or new lenses every year, and going right to
sleep without taking out lenses! Seeing the
alarm clock while in bed. All of these things
have greatly improved my quality of life.

"I can't believe it's been almost eight months already
since I had the PRK surgery. My left eye ended
up at 20/15, and my right eye Is better than
20/20. My golf game has improved as well and
now I don't have to worry about the wind drying
out my contact lens. What a pleasure it is to
wake up in the morning and to be able to see
clearly.
Thanks to your skill
as an eye surgeon, my dependence on glasses
and contact lens is a thing of the past."

never had-it's a wonderful way to begin the day. Thank
you very much"
