Wow what a life changing event having my LASIK surgery!!!! For one, I felt so honored that Dr. Martin and the gang at OptiVue would want to do this for me!

The experience is just something you don’t get a lot of these days- excellent service, kind and really caring people, and friendships.

I was totally impressed with the rapport which all the staff clearly displays with not just me but with everyone. I was a bit nervous- only cause with me if something can go wrong it usually does. But that was not the case at all.

Dr. Martin thoroughly discussed my treatment options and the procedure so that I would fully understand what was going to happen before, during, and after the surgery.

And boy he was accurate when I woke up only to be able to really see for the first time! I thought to myself… Wow, I have truly been blessed. I would like to thank all the guys and girls and everyone at OptiVue for what they have done for me!!! Thanks, Steve Reamey aka “Gay Steve” 92.5 Kiss FM

I am thrilled! Everyone was wonderful! I even brought them Panera for breakfast the morning of my follow up appointment. I don't know what you did but it worked! I have been raving about it! All my sports buddies keep calling to check on me and I am raving about Dr. Martin, the staff, and how they let my wife watch the surgery. I can see already!

I got my first pair of glasses when I was in sixth grade. I remember I couldn’t see the board very well. I don’t remember if I got tested privately or if the school did it, but eventually it was discovered that I needed glasses. So fine. It’s what you do. You went and got glasses, it was the highest technology, the latest thing!

Over the years how many pair did I buy? I don’t know…100… 150? How many did I lose? 100…150? How many did I scratch? 100… 50? How many pairs of sunglasses did I have to buy that were prescription because I couldn’t just go to the drugstore and buy a pair? I fixed all of this about 6 months ago with OptiVue.

Optivue has the single most advanced laser technology out there. Dr. Martin and his whole staff live and work right here in the Toledo area. They don’t come in from somewhere else and do a couple surgeries and then leave and say oh we can get you next Tuesday when we’re back in town. A lot of these places do this, but not OptiVue. Go in and talk to them about CustomVue, which is what I had and lose the glasses.

OptiVue is the place I’ve talked about since I had LASIK surgery done. There are obviously lots of places that you can get this done, but let me ask you a question. Wouldn’t you want to go to a place that’s done ten-fifteen thousand of them? Dr. Martin and I were joking around before my surgery and I said, “Now you’ve done this before?” and he laughed and said, “Yeah, we as a group have done about 16,000 of them.”

I think Dr. Martin himself has done around 10,000. Enough that he probably knows what he’s doing. It’s bladeless LASIK surgery. It’s the latest technique. Talk about vision that you don’t have to worry about because you can get the CustomVue which comes with lifetime enhancements. If you need a little tweaking 5 years later it’s included. They offer financing, too. And they do this all right here in Toledo. They don’t come in from Cleveland or Cincinnati do a few surgeries and go home. This is home, and that meant a lot to me.

Did the lake thing - out to Maumee Bay. Before we left my wife and I went through our checklist- cooler CHECK- sun block CHECK- beach towels CHECK- glasses NOPE don’t need ‘em. Went to OptiVue for laser vision correction and until then I never knew how nice it was to not wear glasses in the summertime. It’s amazing just to be able to buy sunglasses off the rack. Prescriptions are so expensive. But I stopped at the drugstore on the way to the lake, and nine bucks later I’m out of there with UV protection.

What a life changing experience! Talk to Dr. Martin about CustomVue- that’s what I did. No more contacts to keep up with, no more solution, no more getting sand in your eyes, no more glasses to lose, drop, sit on, step on, or break. For the first time since I was in sixth grade I did not have to wear glasses on the beach. All because of Dr. Martin and bladeless LASIK at OptiVue.

When it comes to a person's eyes...it can be very unsettling to hear that you have cataracts and that surgery is needed. But your incredible "chair side manner" made me feel at ease and realize I was in good hands. Not only did you explain the surgery in terms I could understand, but you have a calming way about you...you made me feel like everything was going to be ok. You were also able to mix in your sense of humor and charm. After meeting with you I knew there was nothing to worry about! Since the surgery many people ask "how's your vision?" It’s like watching a regular TV and an HDTV... you notice the difference in clarity and definition the first time you watch the HDTV. That's the way I feel everyday. I see everything clearer! I guess that’s why they call them High Definition Lenses! Thanks again Dr. Martin! Here's to great vision for years to come!

I knew that Dr. Martin was the only doctor I wanted to do Cataract Surgery on me because I had seen so many good results on other patients. I was treated very professionally by the nursing staff. I had a follow up call from Dr. Martin the night of my surgery. It wasn't a nurse, but the doctor taking time to call me at home and check to see how I was doing. That meant a lot to me. My vision was good the same day of surgery. I experienced no pain or blurry vision. Very happy with the whole experience.

The surgery was very easy was over before I knew it. Dr Martin and all the staff were great. Everything was explained day of surgery by the nurses as what they we giving in medication before surgery and after surgery everything was explained what to do at home.
It was nice as both Shelly [my daughter] and my husband watched the surgery which I think educated them both.
I would recommend the multifocal lens. Kathy Armstrong [a surgical counselor with OptiVue] was very helpful in explaining about the surgery and what to do prior to surgery to get ready.

When my cataracts were diagnosed and became operable, I was fully confident of Dr. Martin’s surgical skill and had observed the high level of patient care received by all patients of the ASC. The surgical staff is a highly trained, experienced team that takes great pride in each of their responsibilities and the care I received could not have been any more responsive, caring or complete.

I was aware of the multi-focal lens that can now be implanted during cataract surgery and did choose the lenses recommended by Dr. Martin. Although it does take some time for each patient to adjust to the new lenses, I was very pleased with my results.

It has been a year and a half since my surgery and I remain free of the need for glasses. Since I am an accountant, I spend most of my day reading either a computer screen or little numbers on a printed page - all easily handled with my new eyes. I would confidently recommend Dr. Martin and his associates for anyone requiring cataract surgery or any other ophthalmic care required.

Overall my experience was excellent. The coordinator I saw for my pre-op and post-op was wonderful and let me know exactly what to expect. They made me feel comfortable about the procedure I was about to undergo. Everyone was great and very friendly.

From the very first phone call my experience at OptiVue was awesome! My first appointment was so thorough and the facility was very invitin. The staff was friendly and willing to answer my questions in a way that was understandable to me, including video and personal experiences.

After my first visit, I received several calls along the way to inform me of the steps I should be taking, the drops I should be using, and reminding me of future appointments. The day of surgery, I was taken in almost immediately. The staff made the environment light and joked with me, relieving some of my anxiety. The surgery itself passed quickly. Dr. Martin talked with me the entire time, calming my nerves and encouraging me, letting me know exactly what was going on during the surgery. I left the surgical room being able to see immediately. It was amazing! I would recommend OptiVue to my family, friends, and customers. I had such a great experience and I will always remember when I started seeing with my new eyes!

I went from 20/200 on Friday, January 13, to 20/15 on Saturday, January 14. The only thing I was upset about was that I didn't do this sooner!! What an amazing difference in sight. No more contacts or glasses!! I love it and would highly recommend this procedure to anyone. In and out in 15 minutes!! Thanks Dr. Martin!
Shawna Stubleski

I was pleasantly surprised that my vision was so good immediately post op!! Doctor said with AST vision gets better with time and I guess I assumed I would still be “blind” post op! What a great job and business you have. I left seeing better than I had since I was 10 years of age. People must think you are gods! Thank you!
Christine Ravary

My experience was a pleasant one. I am not going to miss the dependency of reaching for my glasses the moment my feet hit the floor. The personnel in the office, Matt, Kelly, and Dr. Martin were very professional, attentive, and most pleasant. Thanks to this office I can have a better picture of vision to view my world with.

I wish I had done this LASIK surgery sooner than I did. It was the most painless surgery. It was so quick… seven seconds of laser on the one eye and thirteen seconds on the other eye. It was amazing to me that when I awoke from the 4-5 hour resting period that I could lay on the couch and read the time on the VCR, as well as on ESPN- the bottom headlines that scroll across. I would highly recommend LASIK surgery!
Tracy Cook

I, of course, like most people, was nervous about having surgery done. All of my fears were in vain. The staff was fantastic- the surgery was fast and painless. The recovery was much faster and easier than I could imagine. How gifted all of you are to be able to give me almost perfect vision in such a short period of time.
Thank you for making my life simpler (no contacts) and much clearer! You all are wonderful. I can’t thank you enough.
Lisa Dwornik

The whole process was just awesome. Everyone was knowledgeable and friendly. The waits were never very long and the facility is clean and comfortable. The procedure itself was more wonderful than I expected.
It was quick, efficient, and I experience absolutely no pain or discomfort during or after the procedure. I did not expect to walk out of surgery already able to see without my glasses. The clarity fluctuations and “halo” night vision I experience were minor and disappeared quickly. My return check-ups have been comfortable and all of my question answered immediately. Awesome!
Elizabeth McQuillin

It has been two months since the LASIK and all I can say is WOW! I see things more clearly now than I did, even while I was wearing my glasses or had my contacts in. Dr. Martin was FANTASTIC! He spoke to me while he was doing the surgery , so I knew exactly what to expect. He even called the night after surgery to make sure everything was good and asked if I had any questions. My husband and I had it done together, and both of us are nothing short of thrilled with the results! Thank you!!!
Amy and Jason Kendrioski

I have three words to describe my LASIK experience…awesome, awesome, awesome! The doctors and staff were excellent. The whole procedure was totally painless. I would recommend it to anyone and have already. Two of my friends have had the procedure and feel the same way. After 37 years of eyeglasses, I am speechless. Thank you everyone at OptiVue.
Larry Burkett

Everyday I am thankful that I had Lasik at Optivue with Dr. Martin. I cannot express enough, how much candidates for the procedure should have it done at Optivue! You have nothing to fear!

I had astigmatism and it was no problem. The staff at Optivue are friendly, helpful and just fantastic. Outside of the Lasik procedure, Optivue has earned a client that will continually entrust them with her eye health! Thank you so much Optivue! You ROCK!
