Chronic dry eye is a medical condition, and it deserves more than a sample of artificial tears. At Boling Vision Center's Cornea & Ocular Surface Center, we use advanced diagnostics to identify exactly what's driving your symptoms and build a targeted treatment plan designed to produce lasting relief, not just temporary comfort.

Client Testimonials

I could not be happier

Your vision after the surgery is even better than it is with corrective lenses or glasses, so I’m out there, out on the court seeing better than 20/20 which is a tremendous benefit for me. Dr. Boling came very highly recommended by Coach McGraw. I could not be happier with my ability to see after my LASIK!

- Ruth Riley, Former Notre Dame Women’s Basketball Player, NCAA All American, 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist, WNBA Center for the Chicago Sky

The procedure was completely painless.

Aches and pains are a part of all college athletes’ every day lives; however, I didn’t realize that painful and annoying contact lenses didn’t have to be! I used to fight the constant irritation of contacts every day, worrying that they might fall out or tear … especially during allergy season. This is no longer a worry for me now that I’ve had my LASIK by Dr. Boling! Although track seasons are...

Aches and pains are a part of all college athletes’ every day lives; however, I didn’t realize that painful and annoying contact lenses didn’t have to be! I used to fight the constant irritation of contacts every day, worrying that they might fall out or tear … especially during allergy season. This is no longer a worry for me now that I’ve had my LASIK by Dr. Boling! Although track seasons are a thing of the past for me, I’m now running in challenges called ” Tough Mudders” – 10-12 mile hardcore obstacle courses designed by British Special Forces to test strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie while tackling obstacles such as 12 foot walls, underground mud tunnels, fire, ice-water, and 10,000 volts of electricity! Talk about aches and pains! I would have never even dreamed of getting through a race like that without my contacts posing a major problem … but now I don’t even give it a second thought! And the best part was how easy the entire LASIK process was for me. The procedure was completely painless, the staff was so nice and helpful, and they answered every question I could think of before I even had the chance to ask! If you want the definition for amazing customer service, look in the dictionary under Boling Vision Center!

- Paul M. Fearnow

There’s a personal touch at Boling Vision Center.

Boling Vision Center took a lot of extra time to really answer my questions, return my phone calls, or take my phone calls right away. It just seemed like there was a lot of the personal touch that you don't find necessarily at other clinics. But I really did find it here at Boling.

- Nicolle Haley, Patient

After surgery, I can wear sunglasses and do stuff I could never do before!

I love it. My new vision is wonderful. It's so much fun to get out and wear sunglasses and do stuff that I couldn't have done before. Be in the wind with my convertible car, don't have to worry about my contacts drying out, I can see perfectly. It's wonderful.
