I am 57 years old, extremely farshighted and I had been wearing glasses for about 45 years. They literally became a part of my identity, and I hated them. I had 3 lasik consultations over the past three years but just could not pull the trigger. My nerves always got the best of me. Lasik really scared me. When I met with Dr. Khodabakhsh, He immediately looked at my glasses and maps that his technicians had taken and told me that I was not the best candidate for LASIK. He told me that if I do LASIK, there is a high chance that my vision will regress and I will not have a perfect result. He advised that I should consider a lens replacement surgery instead. I was quite shocked. Frankly, I did not believe him because three other doctors told me to do LASIK. I left his office that day confused and dismayed. I started doing heavy research online and on forums. I also called my cousin in Boston who is married to an eye surgeon. She agreed with him completely. As it turns out LASIK does not work on all people, especially those who are very farsighted. She knew Dr. Khodabakhsh and told me that she had been to a national meeting and heard him speak about this exact topic. It was then that I knew he was the right guy for me. It took me another six months to finally get the nerve to do the procedure. We scheduled the first eye on Friday and the second two weeks later. I was so happy with the first, that I asked him to do the second eye in one week. He did! Words will NEVER describe how well I see far and near without glasses. My deepest thanks go to this amazing person.
