LASIK Testimonials

John Kuhn - Fullback, Greenbay Packers

My name is John Kuhn and I am a professional football player in the National Football League. As a football player good vision is a great priority to be successful. I found through my years of playing that there are many obstacles with wearing contacts and being an athlete. Not only can sweat get in your eyes and affect your vision but contacts frequently move while in the middle of an important play. I finally decided Lasik surgery would be a good investment for me and my career.

I asked my agent to find me the best placed in Pennsylvania that did Lasik surgery. After taking a look at several options I found a place that had a tremendous reputation, state of the art equipment and a new age procedure. I decided on the Memorial Eye Institute in Harrisburg and Dr. Bennett Chotiner.

From the beginning the Institute took exceptional care of me. My consultation was terrific. The staff was very friendly and the visit itself was quick and informative. I found out that my eyes were great candidates for surgery. About a week later was the surgery and it couldn’t have been better. It was exactly like Dr. Chotiner explained it would be. I was in and out in about an hour, I went home and took a nap, and six hours later I had perfect vision. Actually a little better than perfect, I was told it was 20/15 when I went in for my post-op visit.

Looking back I could not ask for a better Lasik experience. The staff and Dr. Chotiner were great. The procedure was quick and painless. And best of all my new vision is spectacular. I would recommend the Memorial Eye Institute to anyone seriously considering Lasik eye surgery. - John Kuhn

Mike Edwards - 3rd Baseman, LA Dodgers

"Good vision is important in everyone's life.  In my profession it was essential while hitting a 95 mph fastball.  After my LASIK procedure at Memorial Eye Institute my vision improved to better than 20/20.  Following the procedure I immediately enjoyed healthy eyes and superior vision without the everyday hassle of contacts." - Mike.Edwards

Ando Panko - Pro Basketball Player

"I had Lasik eye surgery 11 years ago at the beginning of my professional basketball career. Before Lasik I had to deal with the annoyance of contact lenses.  The constant cleaning, putting them in and taking them out and I cannot tell you how many times I´ve lost them while playing basketball--unfortunately there are no time outs for lost contact lenses!  For me getting Lasik eye surgery was the obvious choice because with one simple procedure I can now see 20/20 without the added expense and hindrance of contact lenses. Obviously having perfect eyesight is crucial to my continued success in basketball, but I recommend this surgery to anyone who is considering it. My whole family and many of my friends have also had Lasik surgery from Dr. Chotiner and enjoy the benefits of clear vision without limitations. - Andy Panko
