This has been, by far, the most rewarding decision I have made. That I can see without assistance is beyond amazing, but that this was the most painless transition I have ever made is all because of the gracious staff here. From Dr. Caster himself to Dr. Slivar, Alicia, Diane, Alex… The sweetest and most caring group of strangers I have ever encountered.
Thank you for my vision; thank you for your kindness!
The employees and help are all incredibly nice and sweet to be with. They make you feel very comfortable and relaxed and the whole experience is great. Thanks Dr. Caster you made it all worth while.
Yaa Hoo!! I can see!!
This is just amazing. Yesterday when I came in I expected to have good vision when I was done – But I have great vision! 20/15 (and before I could not see anything unless it was right by my face). No waiting – Boom! It is perfect. I have to remind myself this is the new me and not just contacts.
Dr. Caster is the best! Yes, I could have gone somewhere less expensive, but why would someone bargain with his or her eyes? Thank you Thank you
One regret; I should have done this sooner! The morning after surgery, my left eye was 20/20. My right eye, which was considerably weaker, is much better and is expected to “catch up” in a few days. I can’t wait to hit the beach, and go in the water unaccompanied – for the first time. For once; I can find my way back to my blanket! The doctors and technicians here are all so supportive, thorough and friendly. I was impressed at all the extensive pre-op exams – 3 in all. I felt very confident that the surgery would be successful. Not suprisingly, it was! My recommendation to anyone with poor eyesight: Don’t wait, Just do it.
The procedure was pain-free and done quickly! The staff was always polite and courteous and kept me calm when I got nervous.
I highly recommend this procedure and especially Dr. Caster and his staff. I’ve told my friends that if I weren’t such a “tough guy” I would have cried! This has been a phenomenal experience!!
Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!
I came in for my eye measurements on a Wednesday and watched a procedure that day. That was reassuring. Knowing that the glaucoma machine actually touched my eye and I didn’t feel a thing was very reassuring (knowing that the anesthetic drops actually worked). I was not nervous at all, I’m not sure if that was due to your wonderful staff or the drugs (probably a combination). I still can’t believe I’m seeing this well without contacts. I’ve worn contacts for 30 years. Thank you
WOW – the worst part of the whole procedure is not needing to visit the great office staff, starting for Dr.’s Caster and Hoff on down, for another month.
As far as my vision is concerned I lack the vocabulary to describe how happy I am and what a difference this has made to my life. I am only beginning to realize the benefits.
The entire process was truly a miracle. The staff is wonderful and the procedure is honestly “a piece of cake.”
Many of my friends will be following in my footsteps. And women over 40 will understand when I say this is much faster, easier and less discomfort than a mammogram.
When I was 6 yrs. Old I was fitted for eyeglasses. By 25, contacts were a problem for me due to GPC. At 40, my vision was -7.00 in each eye. Now I see better than 20/20. The staff at Caster Eye Center could not have been friendlier. The surgery was painless, Freaky, but still not a problem. By the next morning I was reborn with fantastic vision. My near vision is still a bit shaky but what the hell, it should clear up. Caster and Co. have my heartfelt thanks.
Comfort, care and concern. These are the over-riding feelings I have had from everyone connected with the center. Friendly and helpful people every step of the way. Any fears I had were quickly assuaged. My experience here was positive in every way and I am very happy.
As for the actual results, well I couldn’t be more satisfied. I have a restored faith in the medical community in general because of how well treated I have been in the specific. Thanks.
The procedure was easier and quicker than I imagined! The staff is excellent.
I sit here one day after my surgery and am thrilled beyond belief. I can now see without glasses or contact lenses and drove to my post op appointment.
There was absolutely no pain during or after the surgery and I can begin to explain the joy in awaking and being able to see all my surroundings.
I was extremely satisfied with Dr. Caster in his caring way he talks to you through the procedure and in his expertise in this field. I thank him and God for what I believe to be a truly marvelous event!
· Most interesting is that there was absolutely no discomfort during or after the procedure. No pain whatsoever.
· The office setting is very professional, yet very comforting. Excellent staff, especially Patty.
· The immediate result in ones vision is quite startling.
· Dr. Caster’s expertise puts a lot of my concerns at ease.
· Painless procedure with startling results.
I walked in wearing glasses I’ve never liked to wear and the very next day I was playing tennis. I had always worn glasses for nearsightedness and also always taken them off as soon as possible. This past weekend, at a wedding, I took them off as usual and put them in my suit jacket pocket. Dancing, they fell out of my pocket and everyone stomped on them. If that isn’t a sign from God, I don’t know what is.
I am very happy with the procedure overall. I wasn’t too concerned since Dr. Caster is known as the “best”. My family doctor and my optometrist both know of him.
The procedure itself was neither painful nor uncomfortable. Just ask for 2 xanax and you won’t remember a thing. I am very excited about not having to wear glasses or contacts. The costs associated to those 2 are much more than the procedure in the long run. If you are a candidate…. do it.
My years as a teenager were haunted by the specter of wearing thick nerdy glasses. I wore my prescription aviation sunglasses so often (even at night) that people in my high school were sure I was drug dealer (and I was one of the few who had never even smoked pot!). I was just trying to look “cool”.
Contacts were a godsend. They changed my life. But being lazy, I could never be bothered to take them out at night like I was supposed to. Once I had left my contacts in for a period of over 9 months (much to the horror of my optometrist). Ultimately, this led to an increasing amount of corneal abrasions in addition to blood vessel growth into my cornea, which, if unabated, could eventually endanger my vision.
Lasik is now the godsend. The staff was always professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Everything that would happen to me was clearly and patiently explained beforehand (even the risks of failure). In fact, they were so thorough and confidant in their approach that when the “miracle” occurred it seemed inevitable. I felt ungracious for being so complacent about the Caster Eye Center delivering this miracle to me. They have my profound thanks. Though words feel inadequate here they will have to do. I guess referrals will better do the job.
