Zach McLaren’s (32) alarm clock is set for 4:30 am. He’s a runner in training. Zach has a decision to make, should he run in contacts or glasses? Neither is ideal. Contacts would seem logical, but Zach has dinner plans with his lovely wife, Jessica, and friends. He knows that if he puts his contacts in now, his eyes will be extremely irritated after 10-12 hours. But steamy glasses slipping off your face are no fun. Zach decided he was done with these early morning decisions and decided to look into LASIK eye surgery.
Zach has worn glasses or contacts for 13 years. The timing seemed right to Zach, so he made two calls one to Providence Eye & Laser Specialists and one to another practice in Charlotte. After speaking with both, Zach scheduled a complimentary consultation with Providence Eye. After completing the 2-hour consultation, Zach was thrilled to learn he was an ideal candidate and felt extremely comfortable moving forward with LASIK eye surgery. After all, he is training to do a 50K trail run outside of Charleston, SC, in November and not having to deal with contacts and glasses would certainly simplify the training process.
Zach had LASIK performed on September 1, 2016.
Zach went on to explain that he took his 4-hour nap as directed by Providence Eye and woke up pain-free and with improved vision. He found the LASIK eye surgery post-op instructions to be very clear and followed them carefully based on Providence Eye's instructions.
When asked about the cost of LASIK eye surgery, Zach told us "The pricing was clear and straightforward. Additionally, Providence Eye was very upfront and honest about expectations."
When asked about the benefits he has experienced since his LASIK surgery, Zach had several:
Will Zach refer his friends and family to Providence Eye? He told us absolutely, and that he already has!
We want to wish Zach good luck in his upcoming race. We are thrilled he is enjoying his new vision, so he can see more and live better.
