"It's
the greatest thing
I have ever done for myself."
Debbie
Pope is one of the many local citizens benefiting from a
remarkable new procedure, Radial Keratotomy. Since the late
1970's over a million nearsighted men and women have reduced
or eliminated their dependence on glasses or contact lenses
through this form of refractive surgery.
Debbie's family and friends were a big influence in her deciding
to have the procedure performed. Several family members and
friends had already had the procedure and all recommended it.
"I
had wanted since a child to not have to wear glasses. I even
tried contact lenses with no success. Now, not only do I
not even wear glasses, but my peripheral vision is excellent
and I can even see to drive at night. My vision is actually
20-20."
Debbie
was concerned about any pain during the procedure but that
concern proved to be unfounded. "The five little
incisions in each eye took less than five minutes each and
there was no pain whatsoever during the procedure or later-just
like my family and friends said."
"I
have since taken up golf and it has made a huge difference
in my game. For the first time I can actually see where the
ball lands!"
"I
can't tell you how excited I am to have the RK procedure.
When I get up in the morning, I can see...it's the greatest
thing I have ever done for myself!"
