Patient Stories

I’ve found this to be one of the most friendly and painless procedures thus far in my 24 years of life. I highly recommend this to anyone with eye problems. Sightfully yours.

It is unreal that I had surgery on my eyes yesterday and today I am driving a car. I have hardly any discomfort and I was able to wake up and see the flowers outside of my bedroom without fumbling for my glasses or putting my contacts in.

I knew 2 years that I wanted to get my eyes “fixed”. I set up a liquid CD account and when I was ready I went through the Internet and found 5 places. I read the info and interviewed 3 doctors and settled on Dr. Caster because I felt “Como en Casa” (Like at home) with everybody on the staff. The day of the procedure I was a nervous wreck. But once the operation began I was totally relaxed and I felt the confidence around me. All day today I have been telling my co-workers and vendors, anybody that would listen to me about my new “Eyes”. My only regret is that I couldn’t do this years ago. Thanks to everyone.

The procedure was comfortable and pain free. In fact I watched the World Series 2 hours after the procedure. The staff is excellent and I will not hesitate to refer Dr. Caster.

It’s like a miracle. One day I couldn’t function without my glasses and 15 minutes after the procedure I was able to read street signs and watch TV glasses free. The next day it was as if nothing had been done to my eyes. They felt as normal as they ever have. I am very pleased with the Caster Eye Center and highly recommend this procedure to anyone who hates wearing glasses.

Dear Dr. Caster,
I would like to thank you and your staff for all you have done for me. I have been wearing corrective lenses since I was twelve years old. You have made this an amazing reality, one that I never expected to be so simple, quick and painless! You will be highly recommended to all my family and friends. Thanks again

Dr. Caster:
The only way to express my feelings of sheer wonder is to quote someone else: “If I have to explain how I feel, you will not understand”…My joy runs that deep. Thank you Thank you Thank you

I have been myopic and worn glasses since I was 6 years old-and today, 24 hours later, I was given clearance to drive a car without corrective lenses! The five minute procedure was without surprises and totally painless. I was offered pain medication after the procedure and elected not to take it-I never even took Tylenol. I can honestly say that any day of my 30+ years of hard contact lens wearing was MUCH more irritating to my eyes than the LASIK procedure. I appreciate and gratefully acknowledge every staff member for the part they played in my journey to healed vision. The front desk staff, always cheerful and efficient. The coordinator, friendly, encouraging and informative; the physicians and technicians that gave thorough, refractory exams; Stuart, with just the right amount of lightheartedness minutes prior to the procedure; the surgical assistants who assured me I wasn’t too old for the Pooh Bear-and especially Dr. Caster! Thank you Dr. Caster for your gifted surgical expertise and your calm and gentle spirit. I feel so blessed to live in a time when this amazing technology is available.

As someone with a very active lifestyle, glasses have never been a practical solution for correcting my vision. Although contact lenses were a much better option, they were always a hassle: needing to bring a case and cleaning solution if I spent the night away from home, and in the last couple of months before I had LASIK surgery, they just became too bothersome. Now, with my “new eyes” I feel like a different person. It’s as if a weight has been lifted. No more worrying about being “prepared” if I go out of town or decide to spend the night out. I still can’t believe it, One day after the surgery I can legally drive without corrective lenses. I’m so excited and happy my face hurts from smiling!!
