Dear Dr. Nielsen:
Thank you for my new vision. I'm now 20-15 and can see better driving at night than I could before with my glasses. And the other day I was at the barber shop getting a haircut, and for the first time I was able to read the newspaper (before I could only scan the headlines without my glasses).
Thank you again, my new vision has been a great enhancement to my life.

"LASIK surgery has helped me greatly--both on and off the football field. It has given me an advantage of seeing the football more clearly and sharper than ever before. I never have to worry about contacts popping out, solutions or cleansers. Every morning I wake up and see the clock clearly. Thanks to Dr. Nielsen I see better than ever. My life has improved with my sight."

"Without my glasses, I was nearsighted in one eye, farsighted in the other and I had astigmatism. My vision improved from 20/300 to 20/30 just minutes after the procedure."
David O'Leary, 92.9 WBOS Radio, Boston, MA LASIK PATIENT
Being an avid windsurfer, rock climber, mountain biker and general outdoorsman, I was interested in freeing myself up from contacts. There was certainly no one I would have trusted more than my brother, Steve Nielsen to perform the refractive surgery. He performed the surgery on a Friday morning in Boston and that night we all went out to dinner and a play in New York City. Definitely one of the best decisions I have made in my life!

Everyone at The Nielsen Eye Center is the nicest. The day of the surgery, I felt very anxious. The assistants and Dr. Nielsen made me feel relaxed and comfortable before they proceeded. The clamping of the eyes was tough but once the numbing drops set in, I was fine. The assistants and doctor would ask me how was doing often. Once the surgery was completed, the doctor sat me up. He sat next to me with his scrubs on and my pretty blue hat and said “Smile.” A picture was taken, I thought that was so great! You felt special. The next day I drove to my appointment all by myself, amazing!! Four weeks later, I am still amazed. The doctor and his staff are all wonderful. Thank you Dr. Nielsen!

My experience with The Nielsen Eye Center was incredible. The staff, especially, I found to be extremely helpful and informative about the procedures. I felt like I was treated with utmost respect. Dr. Nielsen himself was fantastic. If I had to do this again, I would not think twice about it, and I have already recommended The Nielsen Eye Center to so many people. On the days of my surgeries, the nurses as well as other staff members were all wonderful. What a world of change it has been literally since having this procedure. My vision continues to improve with time and I am very happy with my results.

"Dear Dr. Nielsen;
My wife, Sarah, and I would like to express our gratitude for changing our lives through the Lasik and CK laser eye surgeries! This letter is long overdue (only because without glasses, I've been out having the time of my life!). I have to admit; at first I was very uncomfortable with idea of eye surgery. While I thought it was an amazing concept, thinking about all the "what ifs" was nerve wracking. You and your amazing staff made our experiences comfortable, imformative, and literally, life altering.
Sarah underwent the Lasik procedure before me and was so impressed with your staff and your level of care and professionalism. Her experience was flawless. My experience followed suit. Moreove, we now have incredible vision! Sarah and I continue to recommend your practice to anyone interested in the Lasik or CK procedures.
And, thank you for your support of our charitable endeavors. We truly appreciate your kidness."

"Having this procedure to take away my need for reading glasses felt like the best cosmetic surgery I could have! I became dependent on my glasses, and at work that’s how people knew me. This was not a look that I liked, or that I was even familiar with since I’ve had perfect vision all my life. When someone referred to me as “the woman with glasses” I knew they had to go. I absolutely never need them now, and occasionally I find an old pair and laugh at them. One small pleasure is picking up the mail and actually being able to see it before finding glasses. I also love shopping and being able to read prices without shuffling through my bag for glasses. I am thrilled- this has felt like a small miracle!
Thank you Dr. Nielsen!"
Mary Ellen Gleason Canton MA. CK PROCEDURE PATIENT
"I can't explain how exciting it is to wake up in the morning and see the alarm clock without fumbling around to find my glasses! I have worn glasses or contacts for 25 years, and my life is much simpler now without the hassle and expense associated with them. I am so happy with my 20/20 vision and with the professionalism and expertise of Dr. Nielsen and his entire staff. Thanks again!"
Katie Garrett Arlington MA. LASIK PATIENT
"After 50 years, I can finally SEE!! This was a great experience. My vision is excellent, both near and far! I was fortunate enough to have selected the best of the eye care professionals. Thank you Dr. Nielsen and staff for the wonderful gift of sight."
John Milligan Cohasset MA. ReSTOR LENSES PATIENT
I've worn glasses since the age 4. I remember being in Niagara Falls and holding onto my glasses so they would not fall off as I looked out on the scenery! At age 16 I got contacts and thought that was "freedom" from glasses. Now 25 years later I have real freedom!! I CAN SEE CLEARLY!!! I had moderate near-sightedness and astigmatism so I was very dependant upon my contacts and glasses. The Visian ICL implants are true freedom! I was evaluated for Lasik and similar procedures a few times, but was told my corneas were too thin for the correction needed. I was extremely disappointed and gave up on the option of being "glasses/contact free" until I heard about Visian ICL. What a world of difference! I see things in a whole new way! Everything looks crisper and brighter! The list of things I don't have too do anymore is long, but the things I have the freedom too do now are endless!! I worried I would feel the lenses implanted like I had felt my contacts on top of the eye, but it's been 6 months and never once have I felt any discomfort! I have even forgotten I wore contacts until I found an old bottle of unused solution the other day!! I am elated everyday I wake up and can READ my alarm clock! I used to have to take the time to put the lenses in before I could do things in the mornings and now, I just don't even think about it! I get up and GO!
The entire office staff was extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the procedure and what too expect. Dr. Nielsen is so patient, answering endless questions! I have and will continue to recommend the procedure to friends and family! This was one of the best things I have done for myself! Thank you to Dr. Nielsen and his entire staff!!!

"One of the things that I found very comforting during the whole process was the fact that my doctor, Dr. Nielsen, and each of the technicians and nurses I spoke with had also had the surgery…and could speak from personal experience about going through the procedure itself, as well as the miraculous effects of it."
E.J. Gore Moab, UT. LASIK PATIENT
"I just wanted to thank you for the fine work you performed in correcting my vision with refractive surgery. The entire process was remarkably easy to go through, and I experienced NO discomfort. It is a joy to be free of glasses, and I can personally vouch for the dedication of both doctor and staff. My vision is important, as a dermatologist, and I am glad I trusted in you and your office for my ocular care."
Kenneth Reed, M.D., Quincy, MA LASIK PATIENT
"I am living proof that when you change your eyesight, you change your life.That's what Dr. Nielsen did for me with the LASIK procedure. Now, I have the best quality of life I can have, including great eyesight!"
