GOING TO HAWAII
Linda Nguyen wished she had got around to laser eye surgery sooner. “I was constantly struggling with eye infections and wearing contacts and glasses limited me. Also it was expensive for contact lenses. But now my life has changed dramatically. No more lens changing...
“ENJOY ALL OF MY FAVOURITE SPORTS”
Steve Backer likes to remain active and feels good vision is important for outdoor activities he enjoys. “Contacts would rotate and dry out. Glasses would slip and fog up. No good when cycling or skiing! I talked to a few people who had the procedure done. I guess if...
BACKPACKING IN GREECE
“It is a great feeling to be able to wake up and see! No more toughing it out at the gym with glasses or struggling with getting my contacts in. The freedom I have now is amazing. I did everything before but the ease is what I like. For example, I went backpacking in...
“THE MACHU PICCHU HIKE”
After developing an allergic reaction to contacts and several exceptionally annoying weeks of glasses, @careysimpson optometrist suggested laser eye surgery. “My pre-conceived notions such as the cost, possible complications and pain held me back, although I never...
“COMPLIMENTS MY ACTIVE LIFESTYLE”
“The most significant benefit to me was not having to wear glasses 90% of the time, which compliments my active lifestyle. I am no longer concerned about losing my contacts during activities such as wake boarding, wake surfing, snowboarding, motorcycling, running, and...
SNORKELLING WITH TROPICAL FISH
Moira Burgis from Quesnel, BC said she was “tired of glasses.” “Finding them, cleaning them, switching between prescription and sunglasses when going inside/outside”, prompted her to consider laser eye surgery. Moira considered the corrective surgery as an investment...
“OPPORTUNITY TO SWIM…”
“I do wish that I would have had Laser Eye Surgery years ago. The personal touches at Vivid Laser Centre, the individual care and the overall TLC gives you a secure and safe feeling. It has given me confidence & a younger feeling of myself. My contacts would only...
GOING TO MOVIES
“Do it! You won’t regret it. My husband had laser surgery and he was enjoying not having glasses, that was great incentive for me. I worried that it would not work, but the staff at Vivid Laser Centre were very helpful and made sure I was comfortable with my decision...
“ALL THE TINY DETAILS”
“I wanted to have better eyesight for all my activities without having to use my glasses. But one of the main reasons I decided to have the procedure done was for horseback riding. I didn’t realize just how poor my eyesight was prior to the procedure. Now that it’s...
ENJOYING BOATING, FISHING…
“I am ecstatic with the results. Even getting up in the morning and looking at my view is liberating. I had a little bit of fear about the side effects, pain and cost but imagining life without contacts and glasses is what prompted me to go ahead. In particular, I...
“I AM NOT TOO OLD!”
“I attempted to have the surgery about 10 years ago at another clinic and was told that I was too old, I was under 50 at the time. Shortly after, my sister got it done, and she’s 5 years younger then me. I was speechless on both counts. At a pre-examination with Dr....
“MORE COMFORTABLE DURING MY SPORTS”
“I am very athletic, had a very high prescription and was limited by my glasses. I wasn’t able to wear my contacts as they bothered my eyes, took too long for my eyes to adjust and they were always a little off compared to my glasses because I have an astigmatism too....
“IF I CAN DO IT, ANYONE CAN!”
“If I can do it, anyone can! Don’t wait. You have no idea how much your life will change not being bothered by glasses anymore. It’s a freeing experience. At my last eye exam, my optometrist advised I would be a great candidate for laser eye surgery. At first I had...
LOVE TO READ, PLAY THE PIANO…
“I had the misconception that I might not be a good candidate, but after talking to my optometrist I found out the opposite. The procedure has simplified my life in ways that may seem minor, but had become a real hassle. Over the last few years it’s become far more...
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING
“Initially I was concerned about the safety and the price of the procedure but I decided it was time to get rid of wearing glasses and contact lenses for good. The comfort and convenience from getting the surgery done are a couple of the great benefits. The ability to...
WAKE-UPS AND SNUGGLES
“It’s a miracle! I thought it would be painful, but I would go through any amount of pain in order to be free of glasses for my kids sake. Middle of the night wake-ups and snuggles suck with glasses. Now I don’t worry about my glasses anymore. I can go swimming, open...
WATER SPORTS
“I had been considering it for almost 10 years. I finally decided to get it done as Vivid was the only place that had a laser where I qualified for the procedure. I found not being able to play sports without contacts and water sports with contacts was terrible. Now...
“SEEING WHILE SWIMMING IS AMAZING”
“No matter how scared you may feel, if I could do it…..you can do it. It was so fast and virtually painless I wish I hadn’t waited as long as I did! I had been looking into this for years but I usually can’t handle anything near my eyes. I was tired of wearing glasses...
