This guy and his lasik machine are miracle workers! I waited 15 years to get lasik because I was a.) terrified and b.) waiting to need reading glasses. Well at age 47, after years of wearing contacts and glasses, I finally made the decision to get custom wave form lasik with monovision. The procedure performed by Dr. Hines could not have gone better. After giving me my «courage cocktail», the procedure took maybe 45 minutes in total. it was pretty freaky, but not scary. I asked Dr Hines how many surgeries like this he had done and he said«40,000». Ok, not his first rodeo. When I left the chair to go meet my friend, with my fancy steampunk goggles and all, I could already tell I could see better! I watched TV that night(in my goggles) and woke up the next day seeing perfectly– I don’t need ANY correction for near or farsightedness– NO reading glasses necessary! I had a very good result and a very good experience and wish I hadn’t waited 15 years!
