After speaking with many patients, several requested that I set up a place where they could tell their stories. I have set aside this area so that their stories, in their own words would be relayed to the world. The following are the patients' unedited comments. In addition, several of these patients have included their email address so that should you have questions/concerns/etc. and would like to get their perspectives and experiences, you can send these requests directly to them. They truly understand what it is like to be in a similar position as yourself and are eager to help in any way they can. I hope that you find this patient perspectives area useful.

Hello Dr. Maller,
I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the things you have done for me. I think they are extraordinary.
Not only in regaining the best vision possible after my LASIK disaster, but in understanding what went wrong,
the challenges WE face (and will continue to face) and how we will attempt to deal with all of it. I feel I
have a caring and genuine partner in this recovery and on-going management. You most likely have no idea how
important this is to me, but it is the difference between dealing with relatively slight inconveniences versus
complete and debilitating depression.
Toward the end of this month is Thanksgiving. This time of year always helps remind me of all that I have to be thankful for. Your help and continued assistance is always at the top of my list and this year it occurred to me that I should let you know that.
If there is ever ANYTHING I can personally do to help you help more post LASIK patients, please let me know what it is. If I can do it, nothing would make me happier.
God bless,
Stephen
