For three weeks after having RLE surgery on both of his eyes, 66-year-old Eric Sunstrum was still reaching for his glasses on his bedside table.

“But then,” he said... “I realized I didn’t need my glasses anymore. I could see crystal clear when reading and when driving. I’ve worn glasses for over 50 years, and now I can see clearly without them. So that surgery was a life-changer.”

We understand the pain and frustration that comes with having poor vision. But there's good news:

There is a new RLE technology now available that will improve your vision and give you the ability to see clearly in the distance, up close, and in between all at the same time without glasses or contacts.

If you are interested in learning more about this new RLE technology you may book a free personalized consultation with Dr. Justin French at APEX Surgical.
