“Dear Dr. Christenbury, although I left your eye center convinced that I wanted [you] to perform my eye procedure, I still felt obligated to myself to check out another LASIK center. Your staff even encouraged me so that that I would feel comfortable with my decision. There was no comparison! While the price was similar, the technology and knowledgeable staff just didn’t compare to Christenbury Eye Center. My decision was confirmed.”

“Dr. Christenbury, mere words can not express how thankful I am to you and your staff for my life changing experience. Since the 3rd grade I have worn contacts and/or glass... I finally decided enough was enough. Why was I putting myself through this? I deserved to have great vision.
“I now have 20/20 in both eyes, which is absolutely incredible to me. It took a few weeks for it to sink in that I didn’t have anything in my eyes. Now all I can think is - why didn’t I do this a long time ago?
“Thank you, thank you, thank you for making my life so much better.”
- Carol L. Kelly,

“Dr. Christenbury took the time to explain the entire procedure with me. I had a bit of a head start having done some research, more than maybe the average person would take time to do. It was interesting when he covered everything I had researched. I felt fully confident in my decision and I didn’t feel like I was being rushed along. He made sure that I fully understood the procedure and exactly what was happening.”
- Chuck Boozer
Local Radio Personality
20/15 Right Eye, 20/20 Left Eye!
“I am not a famous radio personality or sports star, but I am elated at the results from my recent iLASIK procedure. I have never been able to see each individual blade of grass or leaves on trees before. Even with contact lenses, my vision was limited.
I am a stay at home mom and have thoroughly enjoyed this summer. My 3 1/2 year old son has recently learned to swim and I have been able to enjoy the pool with him this year. Even simple things like taking a shower and not having to worry about getting water into my eyes are the things that I most enjoy.
Your professional and friendly office staff was a pleasure to deal with. No question went unanswered. This was by far the best money that I have ever spent on myself.
Thank you for giving me this freedom.”
- Colette Bromfield
“Just a note to say Thank You! You truly worked a miracle — I have been seeing 20/20 since the day following my iLASIK surgery. 3 of my family members have been to you and are very pleased with their eyesight now, as well!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! God bless.”
- Jenny Wayne
“I feel I would be remiss if I did not send you this email. I did not get to see you on my monthly checkup but did see one of your associates.
I must tell you how very grateful I am for your ability to make such a drastic change in my life. I was very hopeful but did not hope for anything this great. I have never, to my knowledge, had good eyesight but, even today, continue to be awed by the change in things. This may sound a little melodramatic which is unusual for me since my husband says I am a borderline cynic. It has to be such a rewarding feeling for you to do so much in your field and to be so respected by your peers. I researched this surgery and those who offered it for some time before I even went for the analysis. I must also say that your office is very modern and upbeat and that your staff is very helpful and courteous. You must take great pride in such an enormous accomplishment.
Again, thank you for all you have done for people like me.”
- Connie Dove

“I wanted to send a note letting Dr. Christenbury and staff know how thoroughly pleased I am with the results of my LASIK procedure. Next month it will be 4 years since I had the procedure done and I continue to enjoy life without glasses and contacts. My vision is 20/20 in my left eye and 20/15 in my right.
“I recall the procedure being quick and painless and I could see ‘perfectly’ within 24 hours. What an experience it was to wake up the next morning and be able to clearly see my clock without having to put on glasses. Or be able to swiim with my kids and not have to deal with glasses or worry about losing contacts. Or get in my car and not have to switch to prescription glasses. Etc., etc., etc. The procedure truly improves your quality of live.
“I would have the procedure done again in a heart beat and freqeuntly recommend Christenbury Eye Center to acquaintances, friends and family. Keep up the good work!”

Dr. Christenbury performed the iLASIK procedure, using the latest WaveFront Guided 3-Dimensional CUSTOMIZED iLASIK technology, and now I have 20/15 vision.

“Since I had my iLASIK procedure at the Christenbury Eye Center, I can see the smallest print on everything. As a Charlotte City Council Member I constantly review on-screen presentations for the city. I could barely see the print and it was extremely frustrating for me… I will be eternally grateful to Dr. Christenbury for the rest of my life for my great vision.”
Lynn Wheeler
Charlotte City Council Member
“In the third grade I got my first pair of glasses and I wore corrective lenses for 30 years… glasses for 8 years and contacts for 22 years. My vision was -7. I can remember having a hard time distinguishing the white soap from the white tiles in the shower, or being afraid to jump in a pool or go in the ocean for fear or water getting in my eyes and loosing a contact or both and not being able to find my way back. I could not function in day to day life without either my glasses or contacts. My vision controlled the amount of fun I had in my life.
“What made me finally decide to have the surgery? I was in NY getting ready to fly back to Charlotte and tore a contact while putting them in my eyes. As Murphy’s rule would have it, I didn’t have a spare pair with me. I had to wear my annoying glasses that I can't see very well out of because I never wore them long enough for my eyes to adjust to them. Having to wear those glasses was almost as bad as not being able to see. While talking to a flight attendant about my ‘luck’ she mentioned she had the lasik surgery done 8 years earlier and that it was great. When I got home that day, I called and made an appointment. And I knew that Christenbury Eye Center was the only place I would have it done.
“The staff and facility are awesome. Everyone was so kind and I felt well taken care of. Everyone answered all my questions very patiently. I am an analyst for a living so I can ask a lot of questions. Dr. Christenbury was very reassuring during the surgery by talking to me calmly and telling me I was doing great.
“The day after surgery, my vision was 20/40 in my left eye and 20/30 in my right eye. A few weeks later it was 20/30 in both eyes. Today, six months later, my vision is 20/20 in both eyes for distance and close up. I wake up in the middle of the night and can see what time it is without having to feel around for my glasses. If I fall asleep while watching TV or reading I don’t have to ‘peel’ the dry contacts off my eyes. No more protein build up on my lenses and itchy eyes. I can see the highest leaf on top of the highest tree and the tiniest ant down on the ground. This is totally awesome!
“When I received my eye exam reminder in the mail from another provider, it was so great to be able to tear it up.
“I think Dr. Christenbury has the greatest job in the world… giving people like me their eyesight back. I would go through the procedure again in a heartbeat. I just hate that I waited so long to have it done. Thanks again Dr. Christenbury.”

Dear Dr. Christenbury and Staff,
Thank you so much for giving me the freedom from contacts and glasses! As a professional Makeup Artist, at times I would have to deal with dry, irritating and blurry contacts while trying to see the work. This has been an unbelievable experience being able to now see with 20/15 vision in both eyes! I would highly recommend Christenbury Eye Center to anyone for this LASIK procedure. Dr. Christenbury was so professional and yet personable during my procedure. I’ve never been able to see better thanks to you Dr. Christenbury!
Sincerely,
