The Patient Experience
Once you get healthy, it’s about enjoying life! That is why you want to be healthy. The only reason health matters so you can get out there and play, have fun and enjoy your world. I love my kids. I love camping. I love traveling. But I can’t see anything ever! I am going to be getting LASIK today.
