"The most common surgery I do is putting tubes in children's ears which is done via a microscope. Actually most of the ear work is microscopic so eyesight is pretty important. I wasn't tolerating my contacts and laser eye surgery has allowed me to get rid of them. Now the only glasses I wear are sunglasses! The freedom is Great!"

"We had a motor-home several years back, but we sold it when Alan wasn't able to drive anymore. I had been doing a lot of the driving but our lifestyle changed. We weren't driving or traveling or holidaying as much as we used to. My glasses were getting thicker and heavier every year. Finally we decided to do something about it. I've been very, very pleased with the results of the laser eye surgery. It's been wonderful. It's given us the freedom to travel again."

"I've made over 2200 jumps and have competed in national events in Canada and the United States. When I jump from 23,000 feet I'm free falling for over two minutes - wearing glasses or contact lenses was inconvenient, to put it mildly! Laser eye surgery has made a world of difference!"

"I've been riding horses since I was six years old and started wearing glasses not long after that. During the summer, I show horses and during winter I pipeline. Before the surgery, whenever I'd be walking, jogging, or loping my horse, my glasses were bouncing all over my face. I wore contacts, but they dried out so easily. The laser eye surgery changed everything. I can see. I love it! It's the best thing I ever did!"

"I'm an industrial mechanic and I have to wear safety glasses at work, so it's great not to have to fool with contacts or glasses. Riding my bike is great now, too. It's like I've got a whole new look on life."

"I was probably thirteen when I started wearing glasses. It was awful back then because at that time glasses weren't cool in any sort of capacity. Some people look good, but I thought that I never did. In the clinic if my glasses fall forward during surgery, who is going to push them up? Since laser eye surgery, my vision has been great and it's made a difference in my work and my squash game!"

"When I was ten or eleven years old I started wearing glasses. As I got older I started wearing contacts, but I was wearing them too much and that created problems. Playing hockey, I'd be taking off my helmet and glove every third stoppage of play and poking my eyeball because my contact had flipped up into my eye and I couldn't see. It cost me a few goals! Laser eye surgery has freed me from the inconvenience of contacts and glasses!"

"One of the best things about laser surgery is not having to wear glasses, especially for sports. I'm an avid golfer, so when it rains it makes it kind of tough. I do a lot of beach activities. When you are in the water or out on a Jet Ski you need to see, but you worry about losing your glasses. I've always found wearing glasses a nuisance. I wanted the freedom of not having something on my face. I just wish I had done the surgery sooner!"
