Our LASIK Patients

silasWhat a pleasant experience at the Turner Eye Institute! Initially, I wasn’t sure that I was a candidate for Lasik because I had an astigmatism. The informative staff explained all of the available procedures, including the procedure for astigmatism. They did a great job informing me of the pros and cons of the surgery as well as alternatives. The actual procedure itself was quick and easy, but I never felt rushed. Waking up in morning after the surgery and not having to reach for my glasses to watch the news was so nice. That day I was back on the court working out players. I was also able to spend some time on my laptop working on the Warrior’s playbook for the season. I am looking forward to working on the court without fearing that my glasses will get knocked off! Thank you so much for everything! A twenty minute procedure has changed my life. I can see!

Sincerely,
Stephen Silas


As a park ranger, I am in the field ninety percent of the time. I was constantly taking off my glasses and putting on sunglasses every time I left the office. I had tried transitional lenses, but since the windshield of my patrol vehicle is UV protected, my lenses wouldn’t darken.

MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAI had also tried to wear contact lenses but I had dry eyes and a better part of my day was spent putting in re-wetting drops. I was often forced to remove my contacts at night because I would get the star effect whenever there were lights around. Wearing my glasses hindered my peripheral vision, so that was a safety issue if I would have had a law enforcement contact go bad. While playing softball on the city league at nights, I struggled to see the ball against the glare of the lights.

LASIK has made my life so much better. Thank you so much to Dr. Stephen Turner and Turner Eye Institute.

Thank you sincerely,
Lee Hickinbotham Jr., Campbell, California
