Dr Boothe Laser Center News

People usually say that I am a very responsible person. I like to make sure my parents live comfortably and for all my life I have been afraid to disappoint them. I had good eyesight until my fifth grade. There was an accident - I fell and displaced the thoracic vertebrae. For three months I lay without getting up and watched TV. I don’t know if there is a connection but since my vision got worse. I was afraid to tell about my vision problems to my parents. Nobody in my family has ever worn glasses and I didn’t want to used them. My vision deteriorated and at high school I had -2 vision. I decided to buy contacts lenses because I couldn’t distinguish my friends faces from strangers when walking on the street. I still felt ashamed to admit it to my parents because I thought that it would unsettle them. I entered university and by then I had -4 myopia. Maybe I would have never done Lasik if my mother and I didn’t go to the pool together. I went to swim and when I returned my mom was holding the container of the lenses. I told her about my vision problems. She and my father were not angry or disappointed at all. The next morning my father took me to Boothe Eye Care & Laser Center.

At Boothe’s Center I had different eyes exams and after all of them were completed Dr. Boothe said that I was a good candidate for a Lasik procedure. I consulted with my dad who agreed I should undergo laser eye surgery as soon as possible. We decided to do it on the same day. I was amazed when I got up after the quick surgery and I was able to see everything!

Already five months have passed and I have very good vision. I am very glad that when I was at a routine followup appointment with Dr. Boothe he said that my eyesight stabilized.

In a couple of months I’m getting married and I am very grateful to Dr. Boothe for helping me get back my vision.
