Description
Before turning to Sheth-Horsley Eye Center, Mary Sue couldn't read a restaurant menu without glasses. Dr. Sheth recommended a combination LASIK/KAMRA™ inlay surgery to restore her vision. In this KAMRA inlay testimonial, Mary Sue says the surgery improved her eyesight and made performing her duties as a flight attendant much easier.

With Dr.
2
00:00:12.770 --> 00:00:17.940
Sheth, I had LASIK and the
camera inlay procedure.
3
00:00:17.970 --> 00:00:22.260
I had contact lenses
since I was 16 years old.
4
00:00:22.290 --> 00:00:27.340
And with age, I was starting
to need glasses for reading.
5
00:00:27.370 --> 00:00:29.800
I ended up having two different sets
6
00:00:29.830 --> 00:00:33.340
of contact lenses,
one for distance and one for reading.
7
00:00:33.370 --> 00:00:36.460
But that was even becoming a problem.
8
00:00:36.490 --> 00:00:40.740
And I would have to wear
glasses to read a menu.
9
00:00:40.770 --> 00:00:43.220
Or if I looked at my computer at work
10
00:00:43.250 --> 00:00:46.980
and then went to look at the paperwork
on my desk, I couldn't see that.
11
00:00:47.010 --> 00:00:49.820
So I was wearing glasses for that as well.
12
00:00:49.850 --> 00:00:57.580
So I wanted to have a procedure where
they would do one of each in your eye.
13
00:00:57.610 --> 00:01:00.180
But I did some research,
and I found that Dr.
14
00:01:00.210 --> 00:01:05.700
Sheth is one of the first doctors
in the New England region to do the camera
15
00:01:05.730 --> 00:01:11.900
in lay, and that was something that I
was very interested in having done.
16
00:01:11.930 --> 00:01:13.490
He was great.
17
00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:18.570
He explained all of the procedures for me,
18
00:01:18.600 --> 00:01:23.570
and this was the one that I
thought would be best for me.
19
00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:28.260
I am a flight attendant,
so my environment is pretty dry,
20
00:01:28.290 --> 00:01:31.850
and having to wear contact lenses
had become kind of an issue.
21
00:01:31.880 --> 00:01:36.180
I also have paperwork that I have to do
22
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:39.400
while I'm on the aircraft,
and it's getting harder and harder to be
23
00:01:39.430 --> 00:01:43.820
able to see that paperwork,
even with the glasses, for reading.
24
00:01:43.850 --> 00:01:46.100
So this procedure has helped me a great
25
00:01:46.130 --> 00:01:52.290
deal with being able to function, and it's
really been life changing for me.
26
00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:54.100
Staff has been wonderful here.
27
00:01:54.130 --> 00:01:56.460
Everyone's been very supportive,
28
00:01:56.490 --> 00:02:01.020
giving you a call right after to make
sure that everything's going well.
29
00:02:01.050 --> 00:02:04.460
Any questions that I had,
either one of the staff or Dr.
30
00:02:04.490 --> 00:02:06.740
Sheth would answer any of those questions.
31
00:02:06.770 --> 00:02:11.170
It was a little nerve wracking to think
about having this procedure done.
32
00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:13.940
I found out later that I was one of only
33
00:02:13.970 --> 00:02:20.100
five patients to have had the procedure
in this region, so that was great.
34
00:02:20.130 --> 00:02:22.980
But all my questions were answered.
35
00:02:23.010 --> 00:02:25.980
I definitely would recommend
this procedure to anyone.
36
00:02:26.010 --> 00:02:27.610
It's been a great experience.
37
00:02:27.640 --> 00:02:29.380
They've been very supportive.
38
00:02:29.410 --> 00:02:33.890
And for me, it was life changing because
with the mono vision,
39
00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:39.260
I could definitely read, but my depth
perception was off a little bit.
40
00:02:39.290 --> 00:02:43.100
If you go to go downstairs or something,
it just felt a little off.
41
00:02:43.130 --> 00:02:48.980
So I do not have any of those issues
with the camera, which is wonderful,
42
00:02:49.010 --> 00:02:55.100
and it's just made my day to day
life much better, much easier.
43
00:02:55.130 --> 00:02:57.380
I have no issues driving.
44
00:02:57.410 --> 00:03:02.260
I can read everything now, whether
it's the computer screen or a menu.
45
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:03.560
I have no issues whatsoever.
