TESTIMONIALS

I would highly recommend Dr. Del Negro

For many years Susanne has been a patient of Dr. Del Negro’s and for 25 years has relied on glasses to correct her vision. During a thorough evaluation, it was determined that her cataracts were progressively gettingworse, “There was a deterioration in my condition from the previous exam 6 months prior.” She was “unable to read or see at a distance without glasses.”

After learning she was a candidate, Susanne opted for the Multifocal Lens which would benefit her near, intermediate, and distance vision. Following the procedure she experienced “immediate results. . . vision is clearer colors are brighter . . . easily read fine print and drive without glasses”. “No glasses needed,” she happily reports.

According to Susanne, the procedure was quick, painless, and comfortable. “I would definitely recommend the practice and multifocal lenses to friends and family. In fact, I already have.”

I never thought I would never wear glasses again. Dr. Senft gave me a gift.
During her annual exam Janice was diagnosed with cataracts. She recalls, “The exam was excellent and I felt confident that I was in good hands.” Dr. Senft presented her with the elective Lifestyle Lens options and she opted for the ReSTOR® Replacement Lens to give her the benefit of near, intermediate, and distance vision without having to rely upon glasses. “I’m glad I was a candidate for the state-of-the-art lenses . . . My vision is great. I can read everything, whether up close or at a distance very comfortably.”
She is now experiencing   “20/20 vision.”  “I feel comfortable without glasses especially when my glasses weren’t fitting me right, always adjusting and cleaning them,” she explains. Her overall quality of life has improved: “I see more clearly. I don’t have to worry about misplacing my eyeglasses or having them fall OFF when I would bend down.”
Throughout the process, she was “treated with professionalism.”  Dr. Senft has a “very good rapport with his patients.” Regarding her elective lens choice Janice is “very satisfied” and her message to others is “definitely get it done.”

When you are dealing with something like your vision and you get results like this, it is invaluable and you can’t put a price on it.

Since elementary school Thomas wore glasses to correct his nearsightedness and astigmatism. His vision prior to the procedure concerned him, “Even with my glasses as strong as they were, things weren’t as clear as they could be.”

When Thomas’ optometrist informed him that he needed cataract surgery, his decision was clear: “I wanted Dr. Del Negro to perform it.” Dr. Del Negro’s reputation coupled with the fact that he performed his mother’s cataract surgery put him at ease.

Presented with his options during a “very extensive” evaluation, Thomas elected to have the Toric® lens that specifically corrects for astigmatism. Talking from first–hand experience, Thomas found Dr. Del Negro to be “a very talented eye surgeon, a very warm and personal individual who does everything he can to keep you informed and to put you at ease.”

How is Thomas seeing after the surgery? “I can see perfectly clear without glasses (except reading). It is unbelievable. . . I can drive without glasses; see people and what I’m doing at the gym where I didn’t wear glasses; see television and the movies clearly without glasses; overall the world looks much brighter.”

A month after the procedure he reports, “I have already told many people how easy it was, how fantastic the results were, and how pleased I am with the experience. . . . It is like I am seeing some things for the first time. . . The results were beyond what I expected.”

After 15 plus years of wearing contacts and glasses to correct her astigmatism and nearsightedness, Kelly opted for Bladeless LASIK because she “developed an allergy to contacts”. The LASIK Evaluation with Dr. Senft was “very thorough”.  Kelly explains, “Everyone in the office was not only professional but reassured me throughout the whole process.”

As a self-proclaimed “nervous patient,” Kelly appreciated that all her questions were answered. “Dr. Senft and rest of the staff kept me informed and explained what was being done so I wasn’t anxious.”  According to Kelly, the procedure was “a little uncomfortable but quick and painless”.

Following the procedure, her vision improved “immediately”. It is “the same as if I were wearing glasses”.  Freedom from contacts offered another bonus for Kelly. “My eyes are less irritated now that I no longer need contacts,” she explains. Another positive aspect of having LASIK –she can now “wear sunglasses again.”

No more itchy contacts or ‘framed’ glasses vision. It’s an indescribable feeling.Kara had what she refers to as, “awful,” vision (-3.75), and, for 15 years, relied upon glasses and contacts. Her goal for having Bladeless LASIK was “to wake up and not have to worry about glasses/contacts.” She was referred by her cousins, one of whom already had LASIK performed by Dr. Senft a few months earlier. According to Kara, her evaluation was “very thorough. Everyone was so kind and encouraging.” Following the procedure, she states that her “quality of life has improved, everything is so much easier.” For the first time in over a decade she can “fall asleep to TV/movies, wake up in the morning and see without reaching for glasses, and wear sunglasses!”
 
“Dr. Senft has truly given me the gift of sight,” Kara reports, “I can’t believe a 15 minute session has completely changed my life. . . Dr. Senft went above and beyond to take care of me. He even came in on his day off to be there for my 1-week post-op checkup. That meant a lot to me.” 

When relaying her experience to friends, Kara explains that she “couldn’t ask for a better doctor--kind, attentive, and thorough.” Her words of encouragement to others: “Get it! So simple for such a drastic life change.”
