Made my Day!
When a person is dealing with their eye sight, they do not want to lose the “window” to their world. I’ve had the corrective surgery so I didn’t have to wear glasses. If I had the choice again, I would definitely have the procedure done. When a person is dealing with their own eyesight, then the person will choose a doctor they can trust. I trust Dr. Carter with my eyesight. My eyes are my window to the world. Thank you, Dr. Carter!
