I've been in glasses/contacts since lower elementary, so I don't remember anything else. I was told by a former eye doctor about 10 years ago that I should never get LASIK due to my astigmatism. I never looked into it much after that.I had started becoming intolerant to contacts: dry eyes, itching, only able to wear 1 type of contact. My eye doctor late last year said I was a "maybe" for LASIK and to try a consultation. I researched everything about LASIK for a few weeks and decided that I wanted Dr. Loden.After testing (I was told it was 40 tests!!) I found out I was a strong candidate. I just had my procedure done yesterday and my eye with astigmatism is 20/20. It has never been 20/20 even corrected with glasses/contacts. My other eye is better than 20/20.I wish I had done this before having my babies. I ended up having to have C-sections, which require you to remove your contacts. Also, all those late night feedings would have been so much easier.My outcome is a direct reflection of the skill level of Dr. Loden and his staff. The staff is extremely professional, calming, and genuinely care. Thanks again guys! I give LASIK a 20/20. :)))
