TESTIMONIALS (continued)

Imagine, if you will, possibly the world’s worst candidate for corrective refractive surgery. I am diabetic, have had a previous retinal detachment repair twenty years ago and I am no spring chicken. When I brought up the idea of Lasik surgery with another Ophthalmologist, she referred me to Dr. Vishteh.

Although, Dr. Vishteh thought the surgery would be possible, he sent to me a retina specialist for a second opinion, just to be careful. The retina specialist said he thought my repaired eye was actually stronger than most other eyes and I should be able to do anything with that eye that I could do with another eye.

Dr. Vishteh operated on both eyes about four months ago. In my case, I opted to have the wavefront done as well. This is a once in a lifetime thing and not the time to cut corners.

At my follow up appointment last week, my vision was 20/20 plus in both eyes. Even though initially my left eye had better vision than my right, and Dr. Vishteh said if the difference persisted, he could go back in and do minor adjustments, it has not been necessary.

The result is better than I thought possible. For the first time since I was in the sixth grade, I can see without glasses or contacts. Like a friend who is my age said about Lasik surgery, you just wish you had not waited so long.

For anyone considering Lasik or other corrective surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Vishteh. He is approachable and accessible. He takes the time to consider his patient’s particular concerns and to answer all your questions.

It’s amazing what I have been missing even with my glasses. This is the best decision ever. Dr. Vishteh, Deborah and Jackie were all wonderful, never rushing with their exams or information. Everyone has been very professional. This is something I would recommend for anyone considering a change from contacts or glasses. This is wonderful!

Dr. Vishteh, thank you for your wonderful work on my eyes. This surgery has been the best thing I’ve done for myself. I really enjoy life more than ever. I want to thank you and your staff for being very supportive and making this Lasik procedure possible for me.

My whole experience from start to finish with Dr. Vishteh and his staff has been outstanding. I should have done this years ago. I’m very thankful with all the help and answers from him and his staff. I’m passing my good fortune of seeing to all my friends, who are glad that I was the first to try the surgery. Again thanks for making me see clearly.

After having RK surgery many years ago in another state, my eye was messed up. (not here at Dr. Vishteh’s office) My surgery here at the Laser Vision Center by Dr. Armin Vishteh put my eye back on track and I can see again. Thanks!

As a new resident of California, finding a surgeon that made me feel comfortable and confident was of the utmost importance. Not only was I unfamiliar with the area, and anyone in it, but this procedure held tremendous personal significance as well.

When my grandparents passed away I was given the gift of money and I knew that whatever I used the money for needed to be very special. Being dependent upon significant vision correction for the majority of my life, I knew the gift of sight would be the absolute perfect way to honor them.

As my vision gained stability, I began researching my options and, although previously terrified by gruesome procedural stories, I knew that corrective surgery was what I wanted. I contacted many area surgeons and finally found Dr. Vishteh and his team. At my first visit I know they were the right fit. I was welcomed with a smile and was given an extensive explanation of my procedural options. Each person I spoke with made me feel extremely comfortable and confident that I was making the best decision… even when I called in day after day with additional questions.

After what felt like an eternity, the day of my surgery finally arrived, I have to admit I was very nervous since I was alone, but the moment I walked though the doors, I felt like I was with family. Jackie welcomed me with a smile, Deborah gave me a hug and Michele held my hand as I prepared for the surgery to begin. Once it was all over, I was sat up and asked if I could read the clock on the wall. My vision was so bad when I walked in I didn’t even know there was a clock there. I opened my eyes, read 10:15 and began to cry.

I have been back to their office nearly every week since and each visit has been a treat. I started with vision so bad I couldn’t recognize my own reflection from a foot away and I am now up to 20/10 -2 vision !! I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Vishteh and his wonderful team for giving me this amazing gift that makes my grandparents proud every day.

I researched several eye institutes in the area. With my new eye vision benefit available thru my San Bernardino County employment, I wanted to get the most for my money. I saved a little over $1000.00 with Dr. Vishteh – The Laser Vision Center. I don’t need glasses or corrective contacts any longer. I should have done this long ago. Dr. Vishteh and his staff are friendly and very helpful.

Thank you Dr. Vishteh and staff for making my lasik procedure a success. With your attitude of friendliness and professionalism, you made me feel at ease. I will gladly highly recommend you to anyone interested. Each morning is a joy to open my eyes and have visual clarity without glasses or contacts.

I was always curious how well the Lasik Procedure would work for me. I have always had terrible vision, ever since I was eight years old. I knew several people who had the procedure done, and they recommended it to me since they were so happy with their results. I knew my vision was so poor that maybe this procedure was not even possible for me. I came to Dr. Vishteh’s office to see if I was a candidate. After the initial check up, it was determined I was a candidate, though I was at the limits!! I was told there was a possibility I may need a follow-up procedure later on because of this. Still, I had a very good chance I’d be completely successful. I made the decision to have the Lasik procedure done. My only fear now was how I can overcome anyone poking around in my eyes. I have very sensitive eyes! It was actually very easy, but it took a little work on Dr. Vishteh’s behalf so that I’d allow the work on my eyes.

The procedure went very well and QUICK! There was no time to be nervous about it since in 2 minutes it was done. Recovery was not as bad as everyone said, either. I followed all of Dr. Vishteh’s advice, so I only experienced mild discomfort for a day. After recovery, I could see exactly like I did with glasses (if not better). It only took some time for my eyes to become accustomed to focusing on things themselves. With glasses, my eyes did not have to work so hard.

Now, nine months later, it is like I never had glasses.  It feels great not to have to deal with glasses except for stylish sunglasses that I did not have before.  And, there was no follow-up procedure needed!  If there is a drawback, I cannot see things close-up.  This is easily a better trade-off than not seeing anything else.  I’d recommend the procedure to anyone, even those people who are squeamish about touching their eyes.  If I can have it done, then ANYONE can!

Good luck on YOUR eye surgery!

I always wondered what my life would be like if I didn’t have to depend on my contacts. Thanks to Dr. Vishteh and my wonderful co workers, I don’t have to wonder anymore. My vision is better than ever! During my last visit I was told my vision was 20/15 which is better than most of my friends who have never had to wear glasses. I am so glad I had this done. If you’ve been thinking about having lasik and have doubts about it don’t wait another minute. Believe me it’s worth every penny.

I have considered lasik for years and never had the nerve to get the surgery done…  Just the thought of surgery on someone’s eyes let alone my own scared me but then I was blessed to meet Dr. Vishteh and his staff they were so caring, very professional, and friendly. Any questions or concerns I had were all answered. I have referred Dr. Vishteh and his great staff to my friends and family and I will continue. Thank you for making this a wonderful experience for me.
