LASIK Testimonials
"I love the vision that my Restor lens implants have provided, especially my near vision. Now I can read without glasses! The lenses are expensive, but I think of them as an investment that I will enjoy every day. If I did it over, I would have this lens again for sure!"
- Ms. Mary Kline
"The staff were professional and friendly. Dr. O'Day's advice and recommendations gave me confidence to choose the Restor implant."
- Ms. Mary Kline
"My intermediate and distance vision has improved since having the Crystalens implant. Dr. O'Day is confident that with time my near vision will continue to improve. I would recommend this lens to my friends"
- Ms. Arlene Linder
"My experience with Charleston Cornea and Refractive Surgery for my cataract surgery and Crystalens implant was excellent. I would have this lens again."
- Mr. Jerry Prosser
"I feel that these Crystalens lenses act as closely to my natural lens as I could expect. Distance and intermediate vision is excellent! Fine reading and dim lighting require reading glasses at times. Life without glasses is wonderful!"
- Mr. Arthur Bailey
"Dr. Laurie Elliott devoted hours of her time to ‘getting it right' when it came to the lens selection process. Her pre and post op commitment is as good as it gets!"
- Mr. Arthur Bailey
"My vision is great! Occasionally in the distance I notice a slight double vision in the distance with my Crystalens lenses. My experience with Charleston Cornea was excellent! I would recommend this lens to anyone who is considering cataract surgery"
- Dr. James Carew
"The Crystalens lenses provide me with excellent vision when considering each separately, and they provide me with excellent accommodation. I would say my vision is better than it has been for 20 years! If I had to do it again, I would choose this lens all over again."
- Mr. James Hill, Jr.
"The Crystalens implants are a great improvement to my life. Driving, reading, etc. is wonderful. The staff was great - very professional and knowledgeable."
- Mr. Paul Coderre
"Dr. O'Day and his staff are wonderful. I am happy that I chose the Crystalens and to have cataract surgery with Charleston Cornea and Refractive Surgery."
- Mr. James Ray
"With the Crystalens I do not notice any glare or halos at night, but do require reading glasses at times."
- Mrs. Cheryl Boulware
"The Restor lenses have been a miracle for me. I am so pleased with my vision and cannot believe how bad my vision really was prior to surgery. The unfortunate thing is that the cost prohibits many people from having the premium lenses. This should be standard and covered by insurance!"
- Mrs. Sandy O'Neale
"Everyone at Charleston Cornea and Refractive Surgery was really good to me. If I had a question, they would explain everything to me. They were easy to contact, even through email!"
- Mrs. Edith Litchfield
"I wish I had done this sooner! Before the Restor lens was implanted I wasn't sure what my vision would be like, how the surgery would go. It was so easy!"
- Mr. Everhart Shuler
Welcome
When I heard the words, "I only wish I'd done it sooner!" from so many patients, I began to think about ways to help future patients shorten the time they spend thinking about LASIK. The following are major questions most people have about whether they should replace their glasses and contacts with the clear natural vision that only LASIK can provide:
- What assurance can you give me that I'll achieve 20/20?
- How much of a risk will I be taking? What's the truth about complications?
- What makes you better than any other surgeon I might find in Charleston?
- How affordable is it really? Will it all be worth it?
About Your Eyes
Astigmatism, nearsightedness, farsightedness, presbyopia (or the need for reading glasses due to age) and cataracts. These are the major vision conditions that reduce our enjoyment of life and create dependency on glasses and contacts. With today’s vision correction technologies, each one of these can be solved. Learn how here.
LASIK
LASIK solves the ‘refractive error’ that causes astigmatism, nearsightedness, far sightedness, and even presbyopia. Dr. David O’Day has performed more than 45,000 refractive procedures, making him one of the nation’s most experienced refractive surgeons.
Cataract Center
Cataracts come to all of us at some time, and usually start developing after the ages of 45-50. Cataract surgery is the most common surgical procedure in the world – and one of the safest. Advances in replacement lens technology (IOLs) mean that virtually anyone can gain freedom from the effects of cataracts – and achieve better vision than ever.
Cornea Center
The cornea is the clear, living tissue on the very front part of the eye. Occasionally, either through disease or injury, surgery is needed to restore full vision or arrest declining eyesight. Dr. David O’Day is skilled and experienced at performing the following corneal procedures
Comprehensive Eye Care
Some LASIK centers do 'only LASIK,' but LASIK is not necessarily right for everyone. At Charleston Cornea & Refractive Surgery, in addition to LASIK, we provide the full array of today’s eye care technologies: RK/AK, CK, ALK, excimer laser PRK, LASEK, Epi-K cataract surgery, intraocular lens implantation, corneal transplant surgery, surgical treatment of eye diseases, and general eye care.
