iLASIK Patient Testimonials

"While I remained sceptical until the day after the surgery, my new sight is absolutely stunning.

"Taking off the plastic cups on Wednesday morning and glancing at a newspaper to see all the words, large font and small, in bright, sharp type was a truly memorable experience.

"The friendly and cheerful care you provided, the amazing results, the professionalism at every stage, and the endless patience with all my questions, leave me very grateful to you all." Bill

"I am one very happy customer. After having LASIK surgery at Eye Institute in July, I have to say I’m blown away by the results.

"As a graphic designer working on computers 8 to 10 hours a day, my new 20/20 vision has changed my world.

"That, along with the excellent service and care I received, has really impressed me. I am sure all your clients feel exactly the same way." Lorraine

"A work colleague suggested that I go for a free assessment for laser surgery. It wasn’t until then that I thought about how restricted I was by my eyesight. After 15 years of wearing glasses and contacts I was ready to see the world!

The surgery itself is everything they tell you its going to be. It’s that easy. They comforted and congratulated me on doing everything right with no friend or family support. Thanks to all!" Julia

"Thank you so much for improving my vision to beyond perfect. You are a brilliant team of people who make patients feel truly at ease while facing a fairly daunting but life changing operation." Ali

"I just love it – iLASIK was probably the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. It’s the small things that make a big difference. Doing presentations at work is so much easier now. I can read the rugby score on the TV while I’m watching the game. I can see where I’m going when I’m running and swimming. I went to play a game of golf the other day and I could actually see where I hit the ball.

Sometimes my new-found vision catches me unawares. We were down in Rotorua at the Luge, and my wife and I were waiting at the top for some friends. I said to her, "look, there they are, down at the bottom". She couldn’t believe that I could see our friends from that far away.

I’ve already referred a couple of friends, and the ones who have already had it done are as satisfied as I am. The whole process was non-intrusive, and the team did it in such a professional way. iLASIK has made an enormous difference to how I see the world." Aaron

"A huge thank you to the doctor and his fantastic team at Eye Institute who contributed to my laser eye surgery. It has transformed my life, for which I am extremely grateful.

A special thanks for all your correspondence and for making me feel so welcome. Much appreciated." Tara

"When I started being unable to see things my friends and family could see easily, I knew I had a problem. I thought I may as well give Eye Institute a call – and discovered that I was eligible to have iLASIK. I was left with what was basically 20/20 vision. I was absolutely blown away. I could drive myself home right then! The whole experience was painless and absolutely fuss-free." Aran

"iLASIK is life altering – absolutely amazing. I don’t have to worry about glasses anymore. Most people get used to them, but I never did. At work, being able to see clearly keeps me safer. I don’t have to worry about taking my glasses off before getting into a difficult situation – I’m ready to go with no issues. The result has changed my life for the better." Simon, NZ Police

"iLASIK was the best thing to happen to me and I should have done this years ago. The results are incredible, unbelievable, such time savings. I don’t have to look for my goggles and swap lenses. What an invention!" Sesh

"Thank you so much – laser was the best thing I ever had done and I love life without glasses." Wynne

"I had been wearing high strength contact lenses for the last ten years and finally summoned up the courage to have my eyes lasered. Well there really was absolutely nothing to worry about." Natalija

"Forty four years old and told: “Kelly you need bifocals”. I thought they were for old people! I was warned that some people can’t cope with bifocals – I was one of those people.

iLASIK was the best decision I have made in my life by far. I can see again and I don’t have to wear bifocals or have the indent of the glasses arms on the side of my head anymore. If you are reading my referral, it is because you are considering iLASIK surgery. Do it! ." Kelly

"Thank you so much for the gift to see every blade of grass, every tiny twig and blossom! We both cherish every day free from having to rely on contact lenses and glasses after having the iLASIK correction. Thank you even more for such professional and caring support throughout the entire procedure from beginning to end. We couldn’t be happier." Tammy & James

"This small token is to show my deep appreciation for everything you and your team did for me during the filming on ‘10 Years Younger in 10 Days’. Not having to wear glasses has given me back a confidence that has been lacking for years and changed my life for the better. Thank you all so very much for your kindness and support." Estelle

"Thank you very much! I feel like I’ve ‘seen the light’ by having the iLASIK correction at Eye Institute. It is truly fantastic to see everything with clarity. Thank you for the new vision!" Justin

"Thank you all very much for all of your precise expertise in correcting my eyes. My life has truly changed forever thanks to the laser eye surgery you performed on me. Everything I do now is a lot more convenient. I will never forget the change you have made to my life. Thank you ever so much, I can’t wait to explore more places with my new eyes! Thank you again." Kate

"I am so delighted at the results of my LASIK eye surgery. The whole process was great, from the professional, caring and helpful manner of the staff to the thorough build-up, testing and procedure of surgery. This is my last follow-up appointment, so thanking you is imperative. I’ll be recommending you to all." Kim

"Thank you so much for the LASIK eye surgery operation. Sounds very cliché but it did change my life. It has been over six months and I still reach over to take off my glasses before I go to sleep, or reach over to put on my glasses in the morning. Thank you." Bhavna

"I thought I should write to say thanks for the excellent results from my laser surgery on Friday. The novelty of being able to see like I could 20 years ago will take many months to get accustomed to. I greatly appreciated your professional assistance through all aspects of it." Michael

"The results have been far better than I could have expected. My vision has gone from around -5.25 in each eye to better than 20/20 in each eye. I also had concerns about dryness as my eyes were dry even before surgery. I am pleased to report that I have suffered no dryness post surgery and that I am blown away at how well everything has gone.

So thank you for your utmost professionalism from the moment I walked into the Eye Institute. The team you have there is exceptional. Life without glasses is amazing and I am able to do so many things that I could not previously enjoy such as surfing. So thanks again for everything, it is very much appreciated." Scott

"I would like to thank you very much for the iLASIK laser vision correction you gave me on Friday. So far this has been very successful and I will be recommending you and the team to all I can. I also would like to thank you for your professionalism throughout the entire process from start to finish." Leon

"Many thanks for all your work. Somebody told me that I would feel reborn – it’s the closest analogy possible. It’s great – thanks so much." Kay

"My eyes weren’t so bad before iLASIK, but I immediately noticed the sharpness and clarity after the operation. Going and playing sport is amazing – like clearly seeing the golf ball. Then there are the simple things. Recognising someone approaching across a room from a distance. When I want to order something from the menu board at a café, I can read the menu without strain. Not having to wear contacts any more is a real bonus too.

The team went out of their way to answer any questions, and fully explained the procedure. They were very honest and managed my expectations – they wouldn’t let me have it in a week! I had no concerns going in – I trusted them totally. I had 20/20 vision the next day, and I have better than 20/20 vision now. And I’m sure glad I did it now, after all those years." Steve
