In Their Own Words

At Boling Vision Center, we believe the best description of the vision correction experience here comes not from us but from the guests who have lived it. The stories below reflect a range of procedures, a range of backgrounds, and a range of lives changed by the decision to see the world without glasses or contact lenses for the first time.

LASIK Stories

Chris Stewart, Notre Dame/NFL Offensive Lineman

"It's easy to see a big defensive lineman trying to slip by you, but seeing safeties or cornerbacks at a distance without contacts or glasses was a real challenge for me. That's why I decided to have LASIK at Boling Vision Center. The experience was truly amazing. The surgery only took a couple of minutes and the recovery was fast and painless. Now I can see more clearly than I ever imagined would be possible. And that's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."

Muffet McGraw, Notre Dame Head Women's Basketball Coach, Women's Basketball Hall of Fame Inductee

"The LASIK procedure was so much easier than I thought it would be. It was quick. I was in and out of the room in about 10 minutes. It's a miracle. I feel like what has happened to my eyes, and what it has done for me, has been something I can't even explain. It has been the best thing I've ever done."

Ruth Riley, Notre Dame Women's Basketball, NCAA All-American, 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist

"Your vision after the surgery is even better than it is with corrective lenses or glasses, so I'm out there 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."

Paul Fearnow

"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 LASIK at Boling Vision Center. 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 of amazing customer service, look in the dictionary under Boling Vision Center."

Daisy T.

"Boling Vision is the absolute best place for all of your vision care needs. I had LASIK surgery there almost ten years ago, and I am still seeing 20/20 to this day. To say it was a life-changing event does not even begin to explain it. The staff is always very professional and genuinely friendly. They make you feel like a person, not just another name on the schedule."

Steve H.

"I came to Dr. Boling in 1999. My vision is still better than 20/20. What an incredible experience I had from start to finish. Great staff. They made me feel comfortable with everything. Real professionals."

The Consultation Experience

Chester Rogers

"My grandson and I were very pleased with our LASIK consultation. Our consultant answered all of our questions thoroughly. She was professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly, made us feel that this procedure is the right choice. We had previously been to another facility and left very unhappy. Our experience with Boling was the complete opposite."
