| Q. Why and how did you decide to have LASIK? |
 |
A.I have been wearing prescription glasses since I was eight years old, I always wanted to wake up in the morning and be able to see.
Contact lenses made my life a little easier but, since I spend long hours in front of the computer, they were becoming uncomfortable to wear.

| Q. Why did you decide to have LASIK done at Kobe Clinic |
 |
A. Since laser surgery was available I always thought about doing the procedure, but I was never 100% sure. I visited many clinics, but Kobe clinic was the best.
All the staff is very professional, during my first visit I was briefed about the procedure, any possible risk, and also about the support and check ups that Kobe clinic was offering. I was 100 % confident about it and so the day after I was doing the procedure. In a matter of 24 hours I had my vision back. It is a miracle.

| Q. Please
tell us the day of your operation. |
 |
A. On the day of surgery, I was really excited but also very nervous. I realize soon after that there was nothing to be afraid of.
The procedure is really nothing, it only takes 10 minutes, without any big anesthesia, only few drops and you feel absolutely nothing. The staff was really supportive during every step of the procedure, and this made a huge difference. Soon after I had few minutes to rest at the clinic and then I walked out the clinic by myself. After a couple of hours my vision was already very good.
It got better and better, and now I feel great.

| Q. Please tell us how LASIK improved your quality of life |
 |
| A.To some wearing glasses is not a problem but for me was a big deal. It changed my life completely. Now I can finally enjoy everything without worrying about contact lenses of glasses. My life is improved so much that I cannot believe I used to wear glasses. |
