Peter A. Ragone of Staten Island, New York, wrote: "I wanted to take this opportunity to personally thank you for the extraordinary care you rendered during the course of my recent LASIK procedure."
"Despite the fact that I always had a strong desire to have the procedure performed, I was quite frightened about the prospect of having the surgery and never truly appreciated the impact that LASIK would have on my life. On the morning after the surgery, I literally sat in my kitchen for hours looking around in amazement, while I came to grips with the realization that my eyes, which I had always perceived as my weakest link, now actually enabled me to see almost perfectly and without any assistance."
