I wanted to let others know just how amazing my sight is now that I have undergone laser surgery. Being farsighted, my close up vision was awful and as I got older my distance vision was diminishing too.

I needed to wear glasses or contact lenses almost constantly. The first thing I would do every morning when I woke up was to put on my glasses because I couldn’t even read the time on the digital clock. I couldn’t drive, read, shop (because I couldn’t read prices or labels) or work without some kind of vision correction. Swimming was a real challenge. I needed one pair of glasses in case I was going to be inside, sunglasses for the sun and I still couldn’t see when I was in the water (if I wore contacts, there was always the possibility of them floating out). I really disliked being that dependent on glasses I could misplace or contacts that were a hassle to keep clean and could irritate my eyes.

When I first heard that they were now doing laser surgery for farsighted people, I decided to consult Dr. Nesburn to see what it entailed and if I would be a good candidate. He and his staff explained that the procedure itself would take only a few minutes with little risk, that there would be some discomfort while the eye was healing and that, thankfully, I was a good candidate.

I had surgery on my left eye almost a year ago with great results and couldn’t wait to do the right eye. Well, six months ago that wait ended and now I can do just about everything without glasses or contacts. I wake up in the morning and can see immediately. I can honestly say that having laser surgery is one of the best things I have ever done for myself and would highly recommend it to anyone who dislikes wearing glasses or contacts.

Sincerely,

Before PRK I would get lost in my own house without glasses. After PRK I have better than 20/20 vision. I’m no longer lost.  Thanks for helping me see better.

I've been wearing contacts for 18 years. That is, until this year...... When I first considered corrective eye surgery about 3 years ago, I frankly was just getting tired of the contact lens "routine" every night and every morning. I play a lot of sports, so glasses were hard to make work on a daily basis. Then there was the occasional but persistent "eye headaches". 
I made an appointment with Dr. Tony Nesburn, whose reputation in corrective surgery is well-known in Los Angeles. Dr. Nesburn first determined whether or not I was a candidate for surgery. At the time, RK was very common, but the use of the laser was a new option. Well, after determining that I was a good candidate for the laser procedure and then recommending it, Dr. Nesburn told me........believe it or not........to wait! He indicated that in another year or so all the data from the new laser procedure would be available. It is this kind of cautious professionalism that Dr. Nesburn, and the American Eye Institute, represents. 
Well, I waited just over 2 years, and I cannot express enough my pleasure with the results of the laser procedure. The actual procedure takes just a few minutes, and there was minimal discomfort afterwards. I did it on a Friday, and was back to work Tuesday (Monday was a holiday). 
I CAN WAKE UP AND SEE THE CLOCK!! I CAN GO TO SLEEP WATCHING THE TV!! NO MORE DROPS, CLEANERS, OR SOLUTIONS!! 
Frankly, I have been recommending the procedure, and Dr. Nesburn, to anyone who will listen. About six months after the procedure, my vision in both eyes is close to 20/20. But more importantly, I have already forgotten what it was like to wear glasses or contacts, and for that, Dr. Nesburn, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

After 18 years of wearing contact lenses, I made the decision to have laser eye surgery.  Meeting with Dr. Nesburn made me feel very comfortable and he answered all my questions.  After surgery It was incredible to see everything so clear and bright.  I thank Dr. Nesburn so much, not only for his expertise but for his kindness and demeanor.  I have recommended many patients to him since then.  Thank you Dr. Nesburn.
Sincerely,

I am so excited I had the laser procedure.  In the past, when I played tennis my contacts would dry my eyes out and if I wore glasses they would fog up.  I am seeing the ball so much better now.  I recommend this procedure to anyone, especially to people who are active.   An additional perk -- it doesn't hurt
