I have my vision back! My name is Charles Nguyen...
I have my vision back! I had my procedure done on February 5th, 2016! It's been nearly three months since my operation and my vision has been only getting better!
First off, I had bad vision--B A D. Nearly -8.00 in both eyes with astigmatism. I've been wearing glasses since 3rd grade, contacts since 9th grade and before my 28th birthday, I decided it was time to get my vision back.
Here's a breakdown of what you can expect:
Consultation!
1. Be welcomed by their staff, take a small tour and learn about their facility
2. Partake in some easy eye exams, discuss your eye history with their specialists
3. Watch a video that talks about what you can expect from Joffe, general Q&A's, operation day and post-operation procedures (You're in massage chair during this!)
4. Discuss options and additional benefits with their financial coordinators to make the best choice! (Credit is available--you can ask about it!)
5. Schedule your operation date!!!
Operation day!
1. Check-in, process your payment and get informed about how and when to use your prescription eye drops
2. Have your eyes examined, Dr. Su is the sweetest!
3. Relax in their massage chair, have the OPTION to take valium before the operation
4. Laser time! Dr. Kevin Merkley is a pro. Rest assured, you have the best hands around your eyes. Dr. Merkley and his team will talk you through the entire procedure--it only lasts for 10 minutes!
5. You'll be given tinted eye glasses to wear for protection and comfort. At this point you'll be wanting to use the artificial tears they provide. Get home safely by your designated driver!
6. Once the numbing eye drops begin to wear, you may feel discomfort and pain--keep your eyes lubricated and use those artificial tears! The faster you can get to sleep, the better!
Next day!
1. Wake up and see clearly without any aid of contacts of glasses!
2. At this point you could drive back to Joffe for your post-check up eye exam. But feel free to ride along with a designated driver.
3. Acing your eye exam without any aid of glasses and contacts will make your day.
4. Keep up with your eye drops routine and just schedule for your next eye examination--congratulations, you have your vision back!
Final thoughts!
If you are considering this, it's likely that you're the perfect candidate. Many of us after having LASIK with Joffe has vision greater than 20/20. It's so much nicer to wake up and see the world. Play sports without worrying about my glasses or contacts. I am no longer squinting and I can finally wear sunglasses without contacts.
Feel free to message me anytime with any questions or concerns.
Best of luck! :)

Provider Review
Dr. Kevin Merkley
Dr. Kevin Merkley and his team is excellent. They answered all my questions and concerns. I was informed on what to expect day-before, day-of, and day-after operation. They're all very friendly and knowledgeable. Overall you get more of a family vibe with the staff than what you could expect at your traditional doctor clinic. I've recommended Joffe MediCenter in Houston to my friends and family.
