I've worn glasses for 20+ years & spent $800 to $1,200 per year for high end frames & stupid expensive lenses & a spare pair, just in case. Aside from the cost, I was just tired of dealing with glasses & decided it was time to do something about it. I went to two reputable Lasik surgeons & was told the same by both - due to being farsighted, I'd still have to use glasses for reading, working on the computer etc. They said the only thing that would eliminate glasses would be lens replacement & they both recommended Dr. William Richheimer @ Mile High Eye Institute.
I made an appointment for an evaluation & was impressed with Dr. Richheimer right away. He took his time explaining my options, what would be involved in the surgery & after & said I was an excellent candidate. There was no hesitation & I scheduled the surgery before I left the office.
I won't bore you with the details of the surgery, but it was exactly as described by Dr. Richheimer. I had a post-op follow-up the following day & actually read 20/20 WITHOUT GLASSES! To say I was happy would be a gross understatement.
I'm now 7 months post-op & was having some light sensitivity. A quick visit to Dr. Richheimer for a check-up, he did a quick lazer "tune-up" procedure right then & I'm back to seeing like I did when I was a teenager, all without glasses! The lens replacement isn't cheap, but considering how much I was spending on glasses every year, the payback is actually very acceptable.
So, do I recommend Dr. William Richheimer @ Mile High Eye Institute? Yes, without any hesitation - he & his staff are the epitome of professionalism & I strongly encourage you to consider them for any of your surgical eyecare needs. read more
