Allison Washington DC Maryland LASIK Testimonial
Well before Lasik my glasses were a part of me. I mean I wore them so much they were kind of part personality and part for sight. But I’m active in the outdoors, so I’m a runner, triathlete, so they got in the way a lot in terms of having to go swim and put goggles on or running. And then for the evenings I’d never found contacts that worked great. I mean I would put them in and my eyes would be instantly red or I’d have big bags, and I’d kind of walk out the house looking tired before I’d even stepped out, so it was a little bit frustrating for me. So I was in glasses more than I wasn’t.
Well I’ve had a lot of friends that had done it and everybody kept telling me I should do it, and I had my brother and my sister were both getting married within 3 months, and I knew the weddings were coming up. And again because I always looked really bad in pictures when I put contacts in it was a huge impetus to get it done, and I was also starting to train again. If I have any regrets it’s that I didn’t do this four years ago. It’s by far probably one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. I ran 14 miles this morning actually. I didn’t have to worry that my eyes were gonna be itchy or my contacts were gonna fall out, I could concentrate on the run.
I definitely would recommend Eye Doctors of Washington. I’m a very analytical person so when I decided to have it done I did a lot of research, and everything that was on paper proved true in reality. They are very helpful. If you have any concerns they take the time with you, and again just during the actual surgery which is, you know you’re nervous, it’s very comforting. I mean Dr. Clinch is really comforting and really talks you through it and then the kind of care that they give you afterwards. Dr. Clinch called me to check in that afternoon, you know see how I was doing. So it’s that kind of personal service that you don’t often get in doctors these days that I think makes this by far the best place to get Lasik done in the city if not anywhere else.
