Testimonials from Our Laser Vision Correction Patients in the Bayside and Queens Area
“This procedure has changed my whole life. I am no longer afraid to
drive at night. My social life has changed completely. Not being tied to my
glasses and the ability to read most things without glasses has made my life
so much easier. I recommend Dr. Drucker to all my friends and to my family.”
Pat Brown is sixty years old. She recently underwent laser vision correction surgery to correct her Hyperopia. She used to do all her chores with her glasses, including cutting her food. Now she is able to read most printed material, and drive without glasses. Her distance vision went from 20/100 to 20/20.
Maria Alzate is 37-years-old and recently had hyperopic LASIK laser vision correction surgery. Maria and her husband originally came from Columbia to have this procedure. “The surgery has been wonderful. I see everything and tell all my friends about this miracle operation.”
Nancy Faria, a 41-year-old laser vision correction surgery patient, says, “I used to sit at the edge of the bed and get up to see the clock when I awakened in the middle of the night. Now I don’t have to walk up to the clock, instead I easily see the time from my bed with my head on the pillow. I would drive my family crazy by losing my glasses. Unhappily, they had to go everywhere I went. I could not leave the house without them. Now I don’t even own a pair of glasses. The refractive surgery done by Dr. Drucker was one of the greatest things in my life.”
Sheldon Dosik is a 45-year-old avid golfer who had both nearsightedness and astigmatism. “Before Dr. Drucker’s laser surgery I could not even see well with my contact lenses. Now I have better than 20/20 vision in each eye. My golfing is more enjoyable than ever. The view down the fairway is crystal clear without any contacts or glasses. This procedure has changed my life forever.”
Enza Boniello has been a contact lens patient of Dr. Drucker’s for many years. This 41-year-old says that she could never watch TV from her bedroom because she had to take her lenses out and didn’t want to fall asleep with glasses or lenses on. “When I went to the beach, I couldn’t go into the water with lenses on. Now I don’t even think about it. The LASIK correction that was done has changed my life forever.”
Tania Alarcon is a 28-year-old, active woman who underwent LASIK for myopia. "Now when I go to the gym or the beach, I don't worry about my contacts falling out or getting sand under them. I wake up in the morning and see the clock clearly. For me this has been a miracle."
Belmont Perricelli is a 52-year-old man who had difficulty seeing near or far without glasses. He could not read, do near chores, or even drive his car without the help of glasses. He underwent hyperopic LASIK laser vision correction and by the next day he was able to drive to the office for his post-operative visit. With a big smile on his face, Mr. Perricelli said that he can now read the name of his wristwatch without the help of spectacles. "Thank you Dr. Drucker, this procedure has had a profound change on my life."
