LASIK Testimonial

Description

NECN reporter Chris Collins discusses how the bond he formed with Dr. Sheth throughout years of eye care at Sheth-Horsley Eye Center led him to finally feel comfortable with the idea of undergoing LASIK surgery. After a 30-minute procedure, Chris immediately began noticing improvements in his vision. In this LASIK testimonial, Chris describes LASIK as a "modern-day miracle" that has greatly improved his ability to perform as a sports reporter.

1 00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:14.260 I have developed a relationship with Dr. 2 00:00:14.290 --> 00:00:18.660 Sheth through a mutual business acquaintance. 3 00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:19.780 Now, at that point in time, 4 00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:22.340 I was looking for an eye doctor, and I started going to Dr. 5 00:00:22.370 --> 00:00:26.260 Sheth through just the annual typical eye exam. 6 00:00:26.290 --> 00:00:27.340 And over those years, 7 00:00:27.360 --> 00:00:30.620 we developed the bond, the relationship, and we started talking about some other 8 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.260 things that perhaps potentially, down the road, I might want to look into. 9 00:00:34.290 --> 00:00:37.740 Lasik was certainly something that had intrigued me. 10 00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:41.160 I mean, I certainly would have loved the convenience of not having to wear 11 00:00:41.180 --> 00:00:46.340 glasses, contacts, but was I willing to run the risk of going 12 00:00:46.370 --> 00:00:50.260 under the laser and trying to make my situation better? 13 00:00:50.290 --> 00:00:53.140 But over the years of going to see Dr. 14 00:00:53.170 --> 00:00:59.060 Sheth for annual eye exams, there was a comfort level, a bond that developed. 15 00:00:59.090 --> 00:01:00.740 And I gained confidence in him. 16 00:01:00.770 --> 00:01:03.220 And when I gained confidence in him, 17 00:01:03.250 --> 00:01:07.740 what we decided was, why don't we give LASIK a shot? 18 00:01:07.770 --> 00:01:09.180 I was a candidate. 19 00:01:09.210 --> 00:01:13.620 After an extensive exam, he said that I was the type of person 20 00:01:13.650 --> 00:01:17.540 and my eyes were ideal to have Lasik surgery done. 21 00:01:17.570 --> 00:01:19.980 So, again, I gave myself two weeks as 22 00:01:20.010 --> 00:01:25.180 the patriots were in a bi week, and I had the procedure done. 23 00:01:25.210 --> 00:01:30.660 When I opened my eyes from, say, a 30 minutes procedure, I looked up, 24 00:01:30.690 --> 00:01:33.460 I could legitimately see the clock across the room. 25 00:01:33.490 --> 00:01:35.180 Going into the procedure, 26 00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.490 I couldn't even see the clock, never mind the numbers on the clock. 27 00:01:38.520 --> 00:01:42.420 So after a nice night rest, 28 00:01:42.450 --> 00:01:47.930 I wake up the next morning, and I legitimately can see. 29 00:01:47.960 --> 00:01:49.700 I can see my kids. 30 00:01:49.730 --> 00:01:51.490 I can see the TV. 31 00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:53.920 I can read. 32 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:58.930 When you're looking around for eye care, you want to be very careful 33 00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:03.340 because your eyes are so precious, and you only get two eyes. 34 00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:06.460 Dr. Sheth made me feel comfortable. 35 00:02:06.490 --> 00:02:09.340 He made me feel confident in his ability. 36 00:02:09.370 --> 00:02:12.610 And he absolutely 100% delivered. 37 00:02:12.640 --> 00:02:14.540 He's changed my life. 38 00:02:14.570 --> 00:02:20.420 He's changed my job, my occupation, how I see my kids in the morning. 39 00:02:20.450 --> 00:02:25.540 It's no short of a modern day miracle that someone who has worn glasses since 40 00:02:25.570 --> 00:02:30.140 the age of five years old no longer has to put in contact, 41 00:02:30.170 --> 00:02:34.580 no longer has to go to the eyed store to find glasses, 42 00:02:34.610 --> 00:02:41.300 no longer has to go to the pharmacy to buy saline solutions or eyedrops. 43 00:02:41.330 --> 00:02:43.820 So when I look at my eye care and where 44 00:02:43.850 --> 00:02:46.420 my eyes are, I never thought it was possible. 45 00:02:46.450 --> 00:02:49.340 So it was very easy for me to recommend Dr. 46 00:02:49.370 --> 00:02:51.340 Sheth to other people that I know, 47 00:02:51.370 --> 00:02:57.900 because care is so important, and it's so important to get the right person. 48 00:02:57.930 --> 00:02:59.900 He's compassionate. 49 00:02:59.930 --> 00:03:02.700 He is knowledgeable. 50 00:03:02.730 --> 00:03:04.740 And you will take the experience, 51 00:03:04.770 --> 00:03:10.060 and you will have the similar experience that I had, which was absolutely a plus. 52 00:03:10.090 --> 00:03:12.820 My vision has exceeded my expectations. 53 00:03:12.850 --> 00:03:15.060 I never, ever thought that I would ever be 54 00:03:15.090 --> 00:03:18.980 able to see the way I can see without some type of assistance. 55 00:03:19.010 --> 00:03:23.380 No more glasses, no more contacts, no more saline solutions. 56 00:03:23.410 --> 00:03:24.800 Just great eyesight.
