Patient Reviews
Oct 12, 2024
Dr. Balish performed Lasik surgery on my right eye March 17, 2016. I lost my left eye in a car accident April 20, 1975. Over 49 years ago. I was really tired of having to wear eyeglasses to see. So far, the Lasik surgery has worked wonders. The eye specialist I see every 6 months says I have 2020 vision in my right eye. I have to wear reading glasses, but that's okay. I can walk in the rain and not have to worry about eyeglasses getting wet and having my vision impeded by the rain. I highly recommend Dr. Balish to perform Lasik if you want to see without eyeglasses.
