    In 2002, a visit with DR Carter had a significant change to my life with his confidence he could use Lasik to improve my vision. His competition said it would take 2 passes. DR Carter succeeded in giving me better than 20/20 which lasted over 16 years! As I conceded my age was beginning to affect my vision, I went back in Feb 2022. Salzmann Nodule Degeneration was seriously affecting both eyes, he explained. In March 2022, he performed surgery on both eyes to remove the nodules which will be recurring. He also used the latest technology to hopefully slow down the growths. Prokera. Prokera uses the amniotic membrane tissue in its products, which is preserved using the company's proprietary CRYOTEK® processing method to ensure the tissue retains its full biologic activity, Amniotic tissue has natural properties that help damaged eye surfaces heal. Prokera products promote faster and more effective healing of the cornea with less inflammation and scarring, leading to improved clinical outcomes with better vision. Sounds great eh? The process requires manually removing the nodules and then applying the Prokera lenses one eye at a time the day following surgery. The surgery, itself, isn't painful. The staff keeps you at ease and DR Carter is pretty quick and thorough. Now after the surgery, and wearing the Prokera lens for a week is not something I would love to do again, but I will, and just have to deal with it. It helps. I'm typing this review a few days later without any glasses and can see quite well. So it works. I posted a photo of the device next to a nickel. By day 5, it isn't so bad. Let me add something important. I will only let 2 people actually touch my eyes. DR Carter and one of his assistants. I trust no one else, not even me! Yes, he has worked on thousands (if not ten thousands of eyes) (Maybe he needs a sign over the door saying how many he's served.) I get the nod of approval from others he has taken care of when I mention who did the work, a few are fellow Yelpers. Many at my workplace. Some others are quite famous and had million dollar careers riding on their eyes. Huge impact on MANY lives. I see some poor reviews on here, and I guess some had bad experiences. My eyes and ears let me know he does have an amazing staff right now. I saw and heard how well that staff responds to their patients. 16 visits in a bit over a year, and not once heard or saw any patients being mishandled. If you think you have an issue, see/talk to David who is one of the best customer service/patience advocate trained people I've EVER met. 21 years, and still more than happy to trust him with my eyes.

    Testing my vision.

    We've been waiting over 5 hours to see Dr. Carter and he's still not seen my wife! I wouldn't come back here for all the tea on China!

I was given a prescription for contacts and one for glasses. Strong Eye Care asked me to send a copy of my current contact lenses prescription so they could see how they had been previously prescribed. I sent a picture with a box clearly labeled with an L to show which was which. I got the new prescription, filled it and got several boxes of contacts. I have been having trouble focusing so I checked the new prescription with my old ones and saw that they were backwards. I spoke with Dr Strong and his fix to his office's blunder was to write me a new prescription. What about all of the boxes of contacts I bought? What about all the headaches and the discomfort of not seeing properly? I seriously thought something had happened to my eye sight. Some moron at Strong Eye Center asked for my old prescription only to ignore it and give the wrong prescription. Simply writing me a new prescription does not correct their mistake. They need to own it and make it right!

However, at the end of the 1st surgery, I was unpacking my dad's stuff and found a card from the team at the surgery center. I was surprised to find a picture glued into the card of my dad, under sedation w/ Dr. Whitman smiling behind him. In the picture, my dad looks dead (he's passed out, head rolled back), he's wearing a patient gown and surgery cap. There is ZERO reason for this picture to ever be taken - the focus at surgery time should be on surgery. The picture gave me such an icky, violated feeling, I didn't even share it with my dad. I called to voice my concern and was told that they would tell the surgery center. 2nd surgery, another creepy guantanomo-esque picture. I spoke to the manager and I shared that this felt unethical, and she argued that my dad technically consented to the picture when he signed the overall consent, that Dr. Whitman thinks "it's funny", and that they're not going to stop. I asked her to please let Dr. Whitman know that there is at least one person out there who doesn't think this is at all funny. I encouraged the manager to talk to the staff about maybe taking the picture before the patient is passed out...or just using a picture of the staff instead. Please be aware that if you choose this place, you or your family member will most likely have a picture taken while under sedation, without express consent and for no purpose.
