I began wearing glasses in the second grade. Through the years my eyesight became steadily worse. I coped as one has to and later began wearing contact lenses and then added reading glasses. Without them I was legally blind. Thirty-five years after I began wearing glasses, I saw a medical show on a new procedure called Lasik. It was listed as experimental and I began to follow the news concerning this procedure.
A year or so later when I heard an advertisement for Lasik surgery and Dr. Pepose I immediately called and went for my consultation. I didn't care if my eyesight couldn't be corrected to 20-20. What I wanted was better eyesight that allowed easier correction as my astigmatism and near-sightedness always had been difficult to properly correct. When Dr. Pepose and his staff told me I was a candidate for Lasik I was so excited. I scheduled it for the soonest it could be done and, you might say, I haven't looked back. In fact, as I began to stand up after the surgery, Dr. Pepose came around the laser to assist me. I looked at him and I distinctly saw the features of his face. That's the closest thing to a miracle I've ever witnessed. I have 20-20 vision with no additional correction needed. Every day I marvel at my eyesight and am so pleased I waited for this particular procedure, Dr. Pepose and his staff.
