Patient Stories

2/1/01, 21 Hours after LASIK
Dr. Caster and his staff are the BEST! I investigated LASIK for two years prior to deciding to have the procedure, doing research on the many doctors and laser equipment. When I came to Dr. Caster for the evaluation, I knew he was the right choice. Everyone there could not have been more attentive. All my questions and concerns were responded to quickly, fully, and in a straightforward manner, always making sure to lay out the worst case scenario. This morning I read a newspaper at breakfast, without glasses! And it was all painless!! Caster Eye Center is the place to go.

It is with great pleasure that I write this note of thanks. Today, less than 24 hours after my procedure, my vision is 20/25, I will continue to improve. Although I was nervous about LASIK, the entire procedure was painless and quick. The worst part of all: foggy goggles at night and crusty eye lashes in the morning. My deepest gratitude to all of you at the Caster Eye Center for making me comfortable and reassured throughout it all. I will highly recommend you to all!

The team at Caster Eye Center have the latest and best equipment and training. This was the largest reason why I chose to have LASIK surgery here. When it comes to your eyes, it does not make sense to cut corners, or to be cheap, Your vision is the most important of your senses, and you deserve toe best. Less than 24 hours after my procedure I am 20/20. I’ll never have to worry about glasses again. Thanks Dr. Caster

What a wonderful experience (that will last, hopefully, for the rest of my life!). Dr. Caster’s office is clearly one of excellence. I visited four different doctors before selecting Dr. Caster’s office. Everyone on the staff made me comfortable- from carefully explaining each step, answering my questions and even letting me hold Winnie the Pooh to keep me relaxed. I thoroughly researched different doctors, offices and equipment. Dr. Caster’s office maintains the most modern equipment and the highest quality of personnel. Now I’m going to bring my father and brother across the country so that they can wee without their glasses. I have fatal confidence in Dr. Caster and his staff. P.S. It doesn’t hurt (and I’m a wimp when it comes to doctors).

Dr. Caster- you are a g-d! A miracle man! I felt like I was blind since the fourth grade. Glasses, contacts- I hated them! The cases, the drops, having to have sunglasses with a prescription, glasses, goggles with prescription, etc., etc. It was the BIGGEST hassle of my entire life. Now, in a matter of hours, my whole life has changed- seriously, I feel a sense of freedom. I really worked!! You and your staff were the nicest staff I’ve ever had. Never have I met such a group of wonderful people, who are truly sincerely, good human beings. Patricia, Dr. Hoff, Veronica, and Cindy were so caring and understanding. Veronica spent so much time with me talking about my fears, what to expect, and life in general. I loved her attention. Dr. Hoff was the best! I can see now and recommend it to everyone. I feel like a pro now. I want to let everyone know that it’s ok to be scared, but everything will be all right. Thanks.

I had LASIK surgery on both eyes yesterday. I had absolutely no postoperative discomfort. My vision improved from approximately 20/200 to 20/30 this morning of my next day follow up appointment. I am hoping for gradual improvement to 20/20, but this is the first time in 20 years that I could recognize someone before they were a few feet away, without my glasses or contacts. I am extremely pleased. Thanks, Dr. Caster.

Having worn contacts/glasses for 30 years, I had resigned myself to the fact that that would be my lifestyle for the rest of my life. Then I discovered Dr. Caster! After meeting with him, reading his book and literature, I realized that seeing clearly (in my case after the procedure 20/20) without the aid of contacts or glasses could be a reality. Most people are very apprehensive about having anything done to their eyes, and I was no exception. Dr. Caster and his entire staff were so reassuring and understanding about that fear that I felt immediately relaxed and felt confident in my decision to have LASIK surgery. The surgical process and the recovery process were exactly as described-quick and painless. Words are inadequate to thank someone for the gift of perfect vision, but that’s all I can say. Thank you, Dr. Caster! I’ll probably be thanking you everyday of my life as I open my eyes and see!

I can’t believe that I can see so well. The procedure was painless, uncomfortable when the flap is made, but that’s it. My eyes were watering last night and sensitive to light. I took a nap from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. and the tearing and light sensitivity was gone. My vision is not perfect, but almost perfect and I expect it will be perfect after a recovery period. Thank you to all the doctors and scientists who made this procedure possible and available.

Dr. Caster is a dream maker, that is all I have to say. I have dreamed of being able to see so well without the use of any aids, and now it has come true! My thanks to all!
