I had PRK performed at Grand Rapids Ophthalmology by Dr. David Barrett in Dec 1997 and I tell everyone that it was the best money I have ever spent. I was extremely nearsighted before the surgery, so much so that I could not run cross country races in high school without contacts or glasses because I couldn't see the ground below me clearly enough to know that I had good footing on the race course.
I now have 20/15 vision in each eye and combined vision of 20/12. Most importantly, when I applied to the U.S. Air Force for flight training, I needed a medical waiver for the PRK surgery I had undergone. Any deficiency in the surgery would have disqualified me from service. (The military is extremely strict when it comes to pre-entrance physical exams) The Air Force approved the medical waiver.
The results of my Grand Rapids Ophthalmology eye surgery were good enough for the military to entrust me behind the controls of a multi-million dollar aircraft... shouldn't they be good enough for you too?

"Absolutely Fantastic! After evaluating many LASIK centers I'm so glad I made the decision to go with Grand Rapids Ophthalmology. My initial concerns were the fear factor and financing. GRO helped me overcome both obstacles. Their excellent staff eased my concerns regarding the surgery and their flexible financing programs made it instantly affordable. The surgery was very easy and with my doctor explaining each step I felt very comfortable. My life is completely changed my vision is perfect again! I can now participate in my favorite sports, golf and snowboarding with greater confidence and without the hassle of contacts and glasses. My brother is happy too; he doesn't have to keep his eyes on my golf ball! I would recommend GRO to anybody who is thinking about getting LASIK. Thank you!"

"In these few months since having LASIK surgery, I have described it to others as "one of my top five best life decisions." I thought it only polite and fair that you know where the procedure stands with me. It has been a great experience. Thank you for the care, the precision, and the talent exuded throughout the whole process. Thank you for freeing these eyes from the corrective lenses that they've embraced since I was in the first grade (31 years ago)!"

The laser surgery was MUCH easier than I thought it would be. I had no discomfort at all. The next day I went from a - 10 prescription to 20/20 vision! The entire staff did an amazing job making me feel comfortable during the entire surgery. I would highly recommend it! Thanks to everyone at Grand Rapids Ophthalmology - they are miracle workers!
