They’re your eyes – of course you have strong emotions!

Imagine how you’d feel upon regaining your color vision, if (hypothetically) you ever had to experience the world in only black and white.   No longer needing help color-coordinating your clothes wouldn’t be anything close to your main point of excitement, would it?  That kind of practical effect would pale in comparison to the experience of having your world re-saturated with color.

If you’re not sure whether detail, texture, and clarity carry any less emotional impact as color, you need to watch this video…

But the delight that comes with improving clarity of vision is always preceded by the apprehension of scheduling eye surgery.  It’s more than an intellectual decision; your eyes are priceless.  And if you look at this same patient, Laurie McCurlie, just prior to her surgery, you’ll see just how much goes into that decision:

The Importance of a Thorough Consultation

What you may also have noticed was how important it was for Laurie to have met with her surgeon, to have confidence in him, and to have confidence in everything that went into the selection of the right procedure for her unique set of eyes.

Simply put, you have to resolve your apprehensions about eye surgery before you will feel confident enough to schedule your procedure.  And a simple “screening” process won’t address the emotion behind those apprehensions. You need a thorough consultation at a medical facility that understands what you’re going through.

Because I was a vision correction patient myself before co-founding The Herzig Eye Institute, I lived through the same anticipation you saw in Laurie.  So I have used that insight and empathy to ensure that our clients feel comfortable and cared for – that you will have the confidence that comes from knowing your eye surgeon has planned a procedure customized to your unique eyes and vision requirements.  If you review the video, you’ll notice Laurie talking about gaining comfort through understanding the procedure, seeing it first hand, and gaining confidence in her surgeon.

If you are in the position that Laurie was in, I personally invite you to come in for a comprehensive, complimentary consultation.  At the end of it, you’ll have both the knowledge and the confidence to make the right decision for you.

P.S. It’s also worth noting that these video clips are excerpts from The Herzig Eye Institute’s 1999 television program educating viewers about Laser Vision Correction.  With technological advancements and innovations developed at The Herzig Eye Institute, people who were once deemed as non-candidates are being re-evaluated and learning they have new options.
