Patient Stories

Words cannot describe the freedom and joy I feel from Dr. Caster’s magical work. It is like I am wearing my glasses without actually wearing them. I can see as far as I like and feel so confident as a professional in the reading of music and seeing all the people in front of me clearly. Dr. Caster has a gift that he should bestow on all people who can benefit from this INCREDIBLE and PAINLESS and QUICK procedure. So many thanks for making my life more meaningful and joyful.

I first heard about doctor Caster through my co-workers. They had gone down and had the procedure done themselves and the results were astounding. I decided to go down and see whether or not I wanted it myself. After the 2hour exam I was concerned to hear that LASIK was an off label procedure, but since my co-workers didn’t seem to have much trouble I decided to go ahead. The day came for my surgery and as I sat waiting for my turn to come I became nervous. I didn’t know what would happen next. I just told myself that Dr. Caster is very competent that everything would be fine. They tried to explain every step before it happened but not knowing what was next made me nervous. When they did my second eye I was more relaxed because I knew what was going to happen. And now that they are both done I can see 20/20. I’m so happy now that I can see thanks to God and Dr. Caster.

My experiences with Dr. Caster has been nothing short of a minor miracle. After wearing eyeglasses since I was 12 years old, I now have great vision. I went out last night and looked up at the stars. They were clear and sparkling. I’d recommend this procedure and this medical group to anyone.

This was a procedure I had considered for five year. I finally decided to do it. My eyesight was off the charts and I was tired of glasses for distance and glasses over my contacts to read anything. I never knew if I should look over or under whatever pair I was wearing. I had distance glasses, reading glasses, contact lenses, sunglasses, prescription sunglasses, sunglasses that fit over my prescription glasses, bifocals and drawers full of contact solutions. I travel a lot and if one of my contacts rips I needed to be sure to have glasses with me. I couldn’t wear lenses on the airplane and it was a hassle to take them out and put them back before and after a flight. I decided to have the surgery and then someone told me a horror story about her husband’s surgery. I was very nervous and almost changed my mind. Dr. Caster answered all of my many questions and we went ahead with the surgery. It was the best thing I could have done for myself. I am now 20/20 in one eye and 20/25 in the other. Since I am 50 years old I need reading glasses, but I am thrilled to be able to live a normal life and swim and drive and do whatever I was without depending on glasses or contacts. I am very happy that I made this choice.

I have felt great since I had my operation. I can see better than before with contacts. My vision is so clear now, that it is a wonderful feeling! I am glad I had both eyes operated on and I feel 100% satisfied with my decision.

One day after my second eye, one week after the first. It’s great to wake up and see without searching for my glasses; or to close my eyes for a short nap without worrying about taking out my contacts. I do a lot of camping and hiking. I’m really looking forward to my first backpacking trip without contacts, solution, glasses, etc. I am also looking forward to swimming in the ocean without worrying about whether I’ll be able to find where I left my towel and glasses!

Working as a Physical Therapist, I’m always trying to help people get over their injuries or make the most out of what they have. The best feeling I can ever have is to see my patients recover and do well – often times the results are not that dramatic. All I can say is that Dr. Caster must be a very happy man because he helps people in a very dramatic way each day. My apprehension has turned to joy as now I can see perfectly one day after my procedure. (I’ve worn contacts or glasses since I was 12). The staff was great, making me feel comfortable and confident and special the whole way through. My thanks to Dr. Caster and all his staff for this modern miracle and I wish all that have struggled with glasses and contacts to have the experience I had. If you’re a candidate for this procedure, don’t hesitate- you won’t regret it!

Hurray! After wearing glasses for 30 years I am thrilled to be able to see without them. My experience at the Caster Eye Center has been wonderful. EVERYONE that I have encountered was thoughtful, caring, thorough, sensitive and understanding. The level of care I have received has been above and beyond anything I ever could have expected. Many thanks to each and every one of you who have helped to make this such a positive experience for me. I look forward to seeing you all in a month. Thanks again!!!

My experience from the beginning was spent surrounded by experienced, professional and a very pleasant staff. After my surgery, I was surprised at how much I could see, but obviously looking forward to waking up the next day and seeing 20/20. And I did! It’s still a bit blurry, but they say it’ll go away. I’m grateful for the opportunity to see without glasses. And can hardly wait until I can open my eyes underwater and take that first look around. Thank you Dr. Caster for giving me the chance to lead a new and wonderful life.
