Derrick Adkins, Olympic Hurdles Champion
Tired of the distractions of contact lenses, Derrick Adkins turned to Whitten-Perraut Laser Eye Associates. Today he's running with a 20/20 view of every finish line.
Suzette Fitzgerald, Program Administrator
"I knew I wanted surgery, but I didn't know where to go. I relied on the recommendation of my doctor, and chose a surgeon who had done thousands of cases." Whether she is trying to keep the attention of her Cub Scout Den or working at her desk, Suzette is enjoying her new vision without hesitation.
Fred Funk, PGA Tour Golfer
Four days after his LASIK procedure with us, Fred Funk used his new 20/20 vision to set a 36-hole tournament record at the Kemper Open.
Brad Johnson , NFL Quarterback
After his last season with the Redskins, Brad decided to improve his game by improving his blurry vision. He considered his many options and chose to have LASIK with Whitten-Perraut Laser Eye Associates. His new "clear" vision should serve him well as he continues in the NFL.
Hyon Ju, 1st Grade Teacher
As a teacher in the county school system, Hyon knows all about research, and her research told her that LASIK was a good option for her. She was still a little anxious, though. When a few of her friends and family members had surgery she decided she was ready. Now, when she tells a student to write on the chalkboard she can make out every letter, not just the big "E".
Dottie Pepper , LPGA Tour Pro
After hearing the success stories of many her playing partners on tour, Dottie decided to take the plunge and have LASIK. Although her new 20/20 vision won't help her golf swing, she hopes it will give her the edge she needs to win another major tournament.
Eliseo Pilco, Police Officer
Clear vision is critical to police officers, as it is to many others. "When a situation arises, I just don't have time to think about losing a contact or cleaning my glasses." Although cost was a factor, Eliseo took advantage of a great finance plan and had LASIK with the *Number One Surgeon in the country.
Gloria Spriggs, Business Process Analyst
Gloria thought about LASIK for years before deciding to have it. She could think of all the advantages: clear vision while instructing water aerobics, no worrying about contacts during sports, and the big one; waking up and being able to see the alarm clock. Now that she has 20/20 vision after LASIK, she wonders why she waited so long.
Second Lieutenant Lawrence W. Gazes
I wanted to take the time to thank you for my Lasik surgery performed in 2003. Being in the military requires me to work in all types of environments. I recently spent time in Afghanistan, where the weather was hot and the environment was very sandy. Through those harsh conditions, I never experienced any problems relating to my vision. In fact, I was able to focus more clearly on the task at hand, since I didn't have to worry about it. I am very pleased with my vision and with the care and professionalism the doctors and staff of Whitten-P erraut Laser Eye has provided me.
