LASIK: Stories

Wavelight Allegretto Laser surgery was the best decision I ever made.  I was scared and hesitant about having the procedure at first.  Being dependent on glasses and contacts left me feeling disabled.  I never thought my eyes were capable of seeing so clear, it was like a miracle.  It has been over one year since my procedure and I'm still in shock.

I literally went from a -7.75 to 20/20 vision in a matter of minutes.  My vision is so clear that I find myself touching my nose to push up glasses that aren't there.  The quality of customer service and professionalism was superior and more than I could ever imagine. 

My father located this doctor, you can find the procedure for less but because my sight was so poor I wanted the best. I live in Pensacola and drove all the way to Miami to have my surgery done.

Dr. Lessner has completed a great deal of surgeries and is named one of the best and is board certified. I would recommend his services to anyone...He is the BEST!

Pros: Instant vision repair, you will never need glasses (aside from aging you may need reading glasses later on in life). Most of all I feel like I can do anything…Strange as it may sound, but that's how I felt.

Cons: I was not prepared for the slight burning after the surgery it lasted for about 1-2 hours and it was difficult but I just made myself go to sleep. Your eyes are super sensitive to the sun. I went to Burlington Coat factory and bought about 5 pair of sunglasses…lol…I was so excited about trying on sunglasses and being able to actually see what I looked like (for my people that wear only glasses…. they understand). I can’t tell you how many time I would put on a pair of shade and look in the mirror only to see a big ass blur (because I couldn’t see without the damn glasses)....lol and don’t ask my why I would try on sunglasses and was blind as hell.

For those that have poor sight, when wearing your glasses and contacts you probably think like I use to think, which was because I have glasses and contacts my sight is better than regular people who don’t need glasses…WRONG!!!!

My eyes are better than wearing glasses and my vision is sharp and clear. It’s almost feels like I have permanent contacts embedded in my eyes, but they are my real eyes.

Thank you Dr. Lessner, and to the staff of Millennium for giving me my independence.

BTW… Ladies this doctor is absolutely HANDSOME…and he looks even better after the surgery!
