Making the Decision I decided to have LASIK because the procedure is safe and I knew my high expectations would be met. There was no pain and although I had some pre-surgery anxiety I was very comfortable during the procedure. Throughout the evening I was able to see my vision improve hour after hour. As an avid artist and sports enthusiast I was thrilled with my decision. Effectiveness My vision is better then when I wore contact lenses. The surgeons are able to more consistently deliver 20/20 vision with the advances in the LASIK procedure. As a local golf pro, I enjoy the golf much more without dealing with the hassle of wearing contacts. Comfort In less than a minute I experienced a lifetime of freedom. My quality of life has improved so much that I have more time for priorities like my daughter. As a LASIK technician who had PRK on one eye and LASIK on the other I can tell my patients first hand about the benefits of LASIK. Cost The cost of the procedure was a consideration in my decision to have LASIK. Upon evaluating the expense of wearing either glasses or contacts/ solutions and the benefits of not having to deal with these devices I was satisfied with the value of the procedures. The monthly payment plans available even made the procedure more affordable. Selection of Eyecare Associates Convinced that this was the procedure for me I looked for a practice to evaluate me as a candidate. The staff and doctors at Eyecare Associates explained the procedure in terms I understood and gave me the personal attention that I was searching for.   Selection of Dr. Landry Dr. Landry has been doing refractive surgery for over twenty years and LASIK since 1997. His close personal contact during every phase of my LASIK procedure from evaluation to surgery to post operative care was very reassuring. I now enjoy my active sports life without depending on my glasses that I have worn since childhood. Selection of Dr. Cerise After attending several seminars on laser vision correction I was very impressed with Dr. Cerise's knowledge of LASIK and other refractive correction alternatives. Many of his contemporaries who are doing laser vision correction have sought his advise and assistance. I am so pleased with my results that I have become an advocate for Dr. Cerise and LASIK.
