New vision is like having HDTV all the time

Mrs.Marie Sorenson ”For the past four years my cataracts have curtailed my lifestyle without even knowing it,” raves Mrs. Marie Sorenson. “I avoided driving at night for fear of getting lost on roads that I was not familiar with. I drove only on well-lit roads so I could see the street signs, and that was difficult.”

 

Mrs. Marie Sorenson describes her pre-surgery vision as having Vaseline over them. She observes, “Colors were not as bright. Fine lines were difficult to see,” Mrs. Sorenson loves to read and because of the cataracts her eyes tired easily, making reading a chore.

 

While hiking, Mrs. Sorenson was referred by her trip-leader who is a pilot and President of the Pilot Association. He told her that she needed “to go to a place where that is all they do and know exactly how to do it, and that place is The Harman Eye Clinic.” Mrs. Sorenson believes in referrals and from the moment she stepped into our clinic, she realized his words were true.

 

“The decision to have a Refractive Lens Exchange was easy, we have limited years on this earth and there is so much beauty out there”

 

During her procedure, everyone really listened and talked her through everything from the nurse to Dr Ballon, communication was evident. Her biggest fear about the procedure was the thought of seeing only blackness and what it would be like without the old lens and not being able to focus. “It wasn’t like that at all.”

 

On the way home from surgery, she was able to see the digital clock in the car. She also reports seeing the bright orange Home Depot sign. These were colors that she was not able to see for the past three or four years. She did not realize how much her vision had decreased due to having cataracts.

 

Her husband now refers to her as ‘eagle eyes.’ Seeing an individual pick up a dime that was on the ground was something she couldn’t believe. Traveling at night has improved. She also likes to speed read and now enjoys doing that again without her eyes getting tired. She refers to her new vision as having HD TV all the time.

 

She is so happy with the results of her surgery/ RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange) at The Harman Eye Clinic that she shares her story whenever she can and was glad to share it with me. She would like to tell everyone not to put off the decision to have surgery.

 

“The monetary value is not comparable when you are able to see so much of the beauty and color that God has given us!”
