“My first glasses at age 7 were truly ugly. At age 15, I started saving for contact lenses. After 50+ years in ever-thickening glasses and ever-more-uncomfortable custom-made contact lenses, I was thrilled to learn that a surgical correction was now available. A chance encounter at a public health fair set me on the road to 20/20 vision. The cataract report was negative, but it was at the Richens Eye Center booth that I first heard about clear lens replacement for correction. I researched and spent time accessing my risk tolerance and had many discussions with Richens Eye Center before I made my final decision to proceed. Since surgery, I can now read without tiring. I enjoy fine needlework again, because I don’t have to use several magnifiers. I can clearly see and distinguish the light and dark markings on the moon. FREEDOM!!!! Having this surgery was one of the best decisions I have ever made.”

“I was tired of my glasses and contacts. I went to Richens Eye Center. I had blade-free iLASIK. Now I can get on with my life with perfect vision.”

“My primary care physician recommended Richens Eye Center during an annual medical exam. I was experiencing tired and blurry eyes when reading. His mother was a patient of Dr Richens and her surgery had been very successful. I’m still amazed at how quickly and smothly appointments, exams and surgeries progressed. Now I can look at my silvery-white horse and see individual coat hairs, desert sunsets, trails climbing far away mountains, starry skies at night and no reading glasses.”

“As a competitive runner, I had always hated wearing glasses. Just try racing with snow and rain blurring your vision! And switching to contacts didn’t help. Wind and dust left my eyes red and sore for days afterward. I envied people courageous enough to have LASIK surgery but never dared take the risks myself. Then a chance meeting with Dr. Richens changed my life. She calmed my fears and inspired me to seize the opportunity to see without glasses once again. A week after my surgery, I ran the St. George Marathon — this time, enjoying the beautiful redrock scenery without having to look through plastic lenses. And without suffering from sore eyes afterward. Thanks to Dr. Richens, the glasses and contacts are gone for good. “
