LASIK Patient Testimonials
Chicago, Illinois
I am so glad I had LASIK done, and it was worth more than I had hoped! I wake up every morning and have a huge part of my personal care process eliminated. I don’t ever have to worry about what happens when I am spontaneous and do not have anything like contacts or solution with me, because my eyes are no longer a concern. I don’t have to worry about starving my eyes of oxygen with contacts, or with any more gross bumps growing on my eyelid from contacts and messing up a good makeup job. It doesn’t matter if I have allergies that day; I still see clearly and just fine. I see even better than I ever did with contacts, and I have zero discomfort.
Doctor Golden’s skill and compassion before and after the surgery made it a wonderful experience that I want to share with everyone, because having perfect vision 24/7 was something I couldn’t ever visualize for myself, except for now, when I see clearly thanks to him! You have one life and only two pairs of eyes; I trusted mine to Doctor Golden, and I’m glad I did!

Dear Mark, I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving. I wanted to let you know how very thankful I am everytime the day after Thanksgiving comes around. This is because I am reminded of your incredible generosity as this is the day a few year ago you made it possible for me to see without glasses. Not a day goes by that I don’t appreciate your gift.
Thank you,
-Michelle
