“I started wearing glasses in grade school and never felt like I had great vision. I think that’s one of the main reasons I became an eye doctor! When I started seeing how well patients did with LASIK surgery, it didn’t take long for me to want it. I’m now 10 years out and STILL loving it!! It’s definitely one of the best things I’ve ever done!”

"My overall experience and satisfaction with the refractive procedure at Eye Care Specialists was outstanding. Everyone was friendly, professional and excited about my procedure. I felt like I was the most important patient that day.
I met Dr. McGraw, felt very comfortable with him, made the decision to choose Eye Care Specialists for my refractive procedure much easier to make.
I’ve enjoyed the freedom of being free of contact lenses and glasses. It’s really the small stuff, waking up in the morning, driving with regular sunglasses, playing sports, and less eye fatigue being outdoors.
I would like to share with others how easy it is…the trust you can put in the doctors and staff, and for those who dream of being on the beach, swimming and being active without hassles!! Awesome!"

I can read the tripometer on my bike! I can see individual pine needles! Small things? Not to me (especially if you don’t know how much gas you have left).
I’ve worn glasses and contacts since the first grade. I’m now 53 and this is to me, being born again to view the world. I cannot only see distant objects clearly, I can read small print. Incredible! Even on the day after my surgery, I could see far better than I ever could with a new pair of contacts – and to think the actual surgery only took a few minutes. I was very impressed with the questions about my lifestyle during my preliminary exams that helped the staff evaluate which surgery would best suit me.
Would I do it again? What do you think?
Well, it’s about bedtime. I’ve got to take out the contacts…wait, I’m not wearing contacts anymore!
Thanks Dr. Reiser and Eye Care Specialists.

Since my early teens I have always worn glasses and contact lenses. Unfortunately, I would have recurring eye infections due to the contact lenses. Wearing glasses, especially as a teenager, made me self-conscious. As I grew older, I had acquired various allergies which also affected my eyes and more trouble wearing contact lenses.
The caring optometrists tried various new state of the art contact lenses on the market to accommodate my allergies. Unfortunately, these lenses were not successful. It came to the point I just gave up on wearing contact lenses except for a special event. Even after short hours at the event, I could not wait to get home to remove the contacts from my eyes.
Traveling was a hassle with all the solutions and supplies, even prescription drops to use for my reccurring allergies. I love to swim, hike with my dog, kayak, and jet ski, and trying to wear prescription sunglasses was not very easy.
Ten years ago, I then thought of RK surgery, but I was not a good candidate. Finally, after all those years passed and LASIK was introduced, I went for an evaluation by my Optometrist, Dr. Empfield, and Dr. McGraw (Ophthalmologist). They were able to show me what my true vision would be after the surgery.
I finally took the leap and had LASIK in April of 2005. I am thrilled to say the next day I had better than 20/20 vision and better vision that ever with my glasses or contact lenses.
I would definitely recommend LASIK for anyone that chooses to get away from wearing glasses or contact lenses.
Thank you Dr. McGraw and the fine physicians and staff at EYE CARE SPECIALISTS.

“Ahhh! To be able to sleep-in a couple more minutes – and trust me, every minute counts at 3:00 in the morning!
I like to be “bright-eyed and bushy-tailed” when I arrive at the FROGGY 101 studio for The Doc Show morning broadcast. However, the “bright-eyed” part doesn’t always happen when you have to wear contact lenses. Some mornings, my eyes looked so bloodshot, my co-hosts would accuse me of partying all night. But actually, it was my dreaded contacts!
Glasses weren’t much better. They would slide off my face or get in the way. I had to learn the hard way that you DON’T have great peripheral vision with glasses. The dented lamp post at the end of my driveway is a sorry reminder that you can’t look out of the corner of your glasses while backing out!
Dr. Harvey Reiser of Eye Care Specialists not only improved my sight, he improved my life! Since having LASIK, my vision is 20/15 – that’s BETTER than 20/20! I never knew what that felt like, even with contacts and glasses. It’s amazing! And life is so much easier not having to deal with changing prescriptions, contact solution, and practically poking your eyes out every morning just to see!
The doctors and staff of Eye Care Specialists are so professional. I felt confident about getting LASIK at Eye Care Specialists because Dr. Reiser and staff provide one-on-one personal attention. They took the time to inform me, answer every question, and made sure I was absolutely comfortable with the procedure.
Now, life is simple, hassle free, and clearer. Even the snooze button looks more forgiving. Thanks to Dr. Reiser and the professional staff at Eye Care Specialists, every day is a bright, clear start!”
