A.Six years [2001] ago in Washington DC I made all the preparations for LASIK but in the end I decided to delay the surgery until I felt more comfortable with the technology. My decision redirected several thousands of dollars that were originally intended for the LASIK surgery to prescription glasses.

A.Several months ago just before I underwent the surgery here at the Kobe clinic I did some research into reputable clinics in the Tokyo area. In my research I found that the Kobe clinic had an English-speaking representative, experience in a large number of successful operations and consultation and support from a renowned Los Angeles LASIK surgeon. I was very satisfied with my decision and proceeded to contact the clinic for a free initial consultation. Ever since my first day, my impression with the Kobe Clinic has always been that they are professional, gracious and hygienically clean.

A. On the day of surgery I was a bit anxious but the staff there were professional and attentive in allaying my fears. I was in and out in of surgery with both eyes in about 30 minutes. Following a short rest period, the doctor quickly found and adjusted an imperfect recapping of my cornea.
