What Our Patients Say About Us

Cliff Whiles

My name is Cliff Whiles. I think I am pretty much like everyone else who turned forty and discovered they suddenly need glasses. It took me about three years to get used to walking with bi-focals, I had trouble walking without looking down. A few years later, I needed some distance correction. I had a lot of trouble changing back and forth between sunglasses and reading glasses. It was such a hassle.

When I heard about the crystalens, I was hesitant to have anything done to my eyes. My Father had gone blind a couple of years before he died from complications of diabetes. That was something I had no interest in going through. I had to give a lot of serious thought to the process before I decided to get the procedure done. I had Cataracts that needed to be removed that I didn't know I had until I had the first eye done - everything I saw with the natural eye appeared yellow. After having the first eye done, I had no doubt that I had done the right thing. I have talked to others who have had the surgery and they often have the same results as me. I can see very clearly at a distance. I have recommended this procedure to several friends and they are as delighted as I am.

It is such a relief to go without glasses for the rest of my life. The Cataracts never grow back and the crystalens is a permanent implant. I couldn't be more pleased.


Mary Whiles

My name is Mary Whiles. I had worn glasses for distance since I was in high school. I wore glasses to drive, watch T.V and anytime that I needed distance vision. In my 40's I began wearing reading glasses. The one thing I had a lot of problems with: when we were traveling, and I would try reading a map and then converting back to distance, my eyes were very slow to adjust.

In the early part of 2005, I heard about crystalens. After having surgery on both of my eyes, I am very satisfied. I am able to read in good light, without reading glasses. I have the greatest "crystal clear" distance vision, even more than my expectations. Thank you, Southwestern Eye.
