This man 'saved' my life. I could not see except in full daylight and he restored my vision post lasik. Do not get lasik or lasek or wavefront or epi lasik or PRK or whatever else crap they are marketing. If you must don't get a procedure that creates and lifts a flap. That causes a lot of problems. Verify yourself that you have TINY pupils. The lasik people flat out lied to me on this measurement. They leave the lights on slighlty while taking the measurement. I had wavefront lasik performed using the latest machines for all the money could buy in 2019. I was not a candidate other than having $5k in my pocket. My lasik surgeon told me that the procedure was a great success - despite my not being able to drive except in full daylight or see faces in dim lighting. I am sure his office marked it down as a great success and furnished this info to the FDA. The lasik industry is as evil as they come. They do what is right for them not what is right for you. This is true of most industries of course, but medicine is supposed to be different. And they take advantage of the trust you may have built up in the medical establishment. No more for me, of course. Dr. G was a godsend. After seeing two additional lasik surgeons (across the country) and two scleral lens optometrists (across the country) who told me I was in pretty good shape and they were sorry I was not 'happy' and that they could sell me more crap that in their words likely wouldn't do any good, I found Dr. G. Dr. G's lenses are fully customized - not customized like you pick the color of your next Ryan home (aka the BostonSight Sclerals). I hope that BostonSight pays Dr. G $10mm for his tech so that his way of doing things can continue. If they had any self respect they would. Dr. G's lenses are more comfortable than the contacts I used to have. And I have regained 90% of the sharpness I didn't know I was so blessed to have pre mutilation (90% reduction in halos, starbursts, and smearing). Further, I improved on my pre mutilation snell numbers which are lower than I can ever remember - below 20/20. Snell numbers by which the lasik industry measures their success are a joke. Until you are mutilated you likely don't know how many other measurements are critical to sharp vision. Round trip lasik cost me ~$10k and a quite a bit more in disruption to my life and fear that I would be house bound like some sort of old blind cat. Don't let these grimey megalomaniac laisk surgeons cut your eyes. Dr. G speaks kindly of them. I disagree. I realize you may be in the 80/100 or the 90/100 or even the 98/100 that won't have my issues, but the risk of lasik is not what they are telling you. It is not 99.9/100. I have met too many people. And even if it were my adverse outcome would not be worth that risk. If you were fooled, duped, scammed then Dr. G is your best bet to get most of the way back. There is hope. I cringe every time I hear a cheap lasik ad on the radio.

Following LASIK issues, I travelled twice to Laserfit to get Dr. G's speciality scleral lenses. For me they have literally been life changing. Dr. Gemoules is a wonderful caring man who is obsessive about details, a master of his craft and always goes the extra mile. Highly recommended for any complex cornea issues. I tried many specialists in Australia... no one had the expertise to fix my vision issues. And the scleral expertise is almost non existent here. Laserfit lenses make my life possible.

I had 8 incision RK performed about 25 years and and have suffered with the usual complications which left me with at best 20/40 corrected vision in the right eye and worse in the left. After finding Dr G on an internet search, I scheduled a 1 week appointment in texas. The first day Dr G took measurements and explained that I should prepare myself for potentially only modest improvement due to RK scarring and existing cataracts. This news was quite difficult to hear. The second day was uplifting to say the least. The first set of lenses, after some optical adjustment, had me seeing better than I have since my RK. This was life changing as I never thought I would regain my corrected vision. In all, I left Texas after 5 days seeing at least 20/25 in each eye. What a miracle!
