"I’ve never met anyone who said they miss their glasses. That’s why I chose to see the doctors at Shepard Eye Center. My vision had deteriorated to the point where I couldn’t see anything without my glasses and it was starting to get in the way of the things I love, like reading and sewing. So I went in for free consultation and they found I had a cataract in each eye. Dr. Bylsma was able to remove my cataracts and correct my vision with ReSTOR implants. I just opened my eyes and could see everything. Now I’m back to reading and sewing without glasses and I can see better than ever. Its like my eyes are brand new, and I have the doctors at Shepard Eye Center to thank for it. I’m Sheila and life is so much nicer not being bothered by my glasses."

LASIK Testimonial – Mike
"2 things have been a part of my life since age 9: soccer and glasses, which didn’t exactly mix. I would rather play on a blurry field than wear my glasses during the game. But now, after having custom LASIK at Shepard Eye Center, I don’t have to worry about that. I don’t have to worry about my glasses in the rain, or the glare when I drive at night. No more dry scratchy eyes from contacts either. And in the morning, when the alarm rings, I can actually see the time without scrambling for my glasses. It only took a 15 minute procedure to fix a challenge I’ve dealt with for 20 years. And honestly, I never thought I could afford LASIK, but the doctors at Shepard Eye Center made the financing work for me. I’m Mike – and my soccer field is finally crystal clear thanks to custom LASIK at Shepard Eye Center."
