Moretsky
Cassidy Vision Correction is proud to be one of the first practices to
bring the ReStor Lens technology to Arizona. We are
constantly trying to offer our patients the latest advancements in eye
care.
Here are what
patients are
saying after choosing the ReStor Lens implant
procedure:
"Dear Dr. Moretsky, I just wanted to take a moment to thank
you so much for saving my eyesight. The Restor lenses that you
recommended are performing remarkably well for me.
I
have to say that coming into your office was a challenge because I'm
the type of person that had a hard time even putting drops in. I'm so
sensitive with anything in or near my eyes.
Needless to say, it was very traumatic coming in for eye surgery. I was
nervous and scared but the whole surgery was over so quickly and
without pain. It was hard to imagine beforehand that it would flow that
well. As you might recall, within 24 hours of my first surgery I was
ready to schedule my second surgery on the other eye with you.
Additionally,
I was very impressed with the kindness and professionalism of your
staff. You must be proud to lead such a terrific organization. At the
age of 46, I want to thank you so much again for giving me a second
chance at sight --for the rest of my life."
- Sincerely, Marc Dockweiler

"Clarise,
my wife, and I had the Restor procedure performed during the same time
frame. We both agree, the outcome has far exceeded our expectations.
The ability to see well again without glasses more than compensates for
the halo's periodically, seen on some lights at night."

"I
would like to pass on, to anybody who is thinking about getting
cataract surgery, my experience at Moretsky Cassidy Vision Correction
Center. The employees were very helpfl and would furnish any
information that you needed to make decisions. Their operating room
staff and all the associates were very professional and very friendly.
The surgery itself was very fast and only took what seemed like a few
minutes. I went home with just a patch over my eye.
I
chose the Restor lenses. The first eye was done in January and the
other in March. I have had no problems at all. There is hardly any
discomfort, only the first day was slightly uncomfortable, because of
the patch over your eye. I never even took Tylenol, there was just no
pain. Since my surgery, I do not wear glasses. I can read the paper,
drive my car, and they have tested my vision at 20/20 for far away as
well.
I
would recommend Dr. Moretsky and Dr. Cassidy very highly to anybody
thinking of any future eye surgery or lens replacements. The Restor
lens has given me back my vision, I hope this helps anybody who is
contemplating the Restor lens."

"I
had the Restor Intraocular Lens procedure done by Dr. Moretsky, and I
would like to thank him and his staff for the wonderful job that they
did.
I
could not have imagined reading again without glasses and doing the may
different daily tasks that I did which required me to wear glasses,
i.e. reading a menu in a restaurant, a newspaper, price tags in a
department store, grocery shopping, threading a needle, etc. I feel
free!!
Again
I THANK YOU so much for correcting my vision so I do not have to wear
glasses again."

"I
have had a miracle happen! After wearing glasses as a 14 year old, then
contact lenses until I needed bifocal contact lenses, I then found out
I had cataracts. I now have the "Restor" lens. After removing my
cataracts Dr. Sanford Moretsky placed a "Restor" lens in each one of my
eyes and the results are amazing. I now have 20/20 vision in both eyes
for distance and I no longer need reading glasses! The "Restor" lens
has made it possible to see distance, read and all in between without
the aid of glasses.
I
am a musician so you can understand how important unimpaired sight is
to me. The care I received from Dr. Moretsky and his associates was
excellent. They kept me fully informed about the procedure before and
during the surgery taking any fear I might have had away. I can highly
recommend the "Restor" lens and the excellence of Dr. Moretsky."

"Dear
Dr. Moretsky,
It's
a miracle! I have worn contacts for 20 years. My eyes were so bad
(20/100) the prescription for glasses was heavy and cumbersome. I
thought my vision was as good as it was going to get with mono-vision
contacts and was content with that. Then, last year at a routine eye
exam, I was told I would soon have to "get out" of my contacts due to
lack of oxygen to my cornea. I was devastated! I couldn't function in
glasses.
After
much research and many consultations about options (not many for my
prescription), I felt confident in choosing Dr. Moretsky and the ReStor
lens implant. Dr. Moretsky and his staff walked me through each step so
that there were no surprises which relieved my anxiety because they
were so supportive.
I
feel lucky to have been a candidate for this procedure and wish I had
done it sooner. I never expected the improvement to be so dramatic;
20/20 in each eye, and the ability to read upclose without any reading
glasses, that's why I said it's a miracle.
Thank
you Dr. Moretsky for your impressive expertise and for giving me back
my vision."

"June
2005 I had an appointment at the offices of Moretsky and Cassidy to
discuss the possibility of LASIK vision correction. After being
examined and talking with Dr. Moretsky I asked about other alternatives.
Dr.
Moretsky explained the ReStor® Lens and said I was a
good candidate for it. On June 22nd my right eye was operated on.
Vision was corrected to 20/25 by June 28th and I was reading and
driving without glasses or contacts.
In
July my left eye was complete and every day both my left and right eyes
continue to improve.
It
is a great feeling after 27 years to be totally free of glasses and
contacts."

"I
began wearing reading glasses about 20 years ago. My Vision gradually
declined over the years. About a year ago I experienced a sharper
decline. A visit to Dr. Moretsky’s
office revealed the development of cataracts. Together we decided on
the ReStor® Lens, left eye first.
The
surgery was painless! Recovery took a couple of days with minimal
discomfort and slight blurring. Two weeks later the right eye received
a ReStor® Lens, again without pain.
The
results have exceeded my expectations: with vision rivaling that of my
youth! I no longer need glasses, my eyes are 20/20 and 20/15 in the
distance and 20/25 and 20/30 for reading and upclose vision.
I
can see street signs at a distance, watch TV clearly, and the most
amazing, read the smallest print. These were all problematic prior to
surgery. Would I make the same choice if I had it to make over,
ABSOLUTELY!
Having
amazing technology is only half the equation, it is equally important
to choose a competent surgeon who understands and skillfully applies
that technology. Dr. Moretsky is one of the finest surgeons available.
I’m grateful he is located in the
Phoenix Metro area and blessed to have availed myself of his years of
experience."

A special Thank you to Valley
Eye Specialists Clinic. Dr. Moretsky did a wonderful job on
my eyes using the Restor lens. What a beautiful world of
color. I did not realize how much I was missing until the
cataracts were removed and the ReStor Intraocular lenses were implanted.
Thanks
so much for making my world so much clearer and brighter. A very
satisfied patient.

I feel very fortunate to have
had Dr. Sanford Moretsky replace both of my lenses with the ReStor
lenses. I now have the vision of my teenage years.
Dr. Moretsky and his staff were not only professional and fully
capable, but also relaxed and very friendly. I would
recommend Dr. Moretsky to anyone who desires to have the
“very best Eye Surgeon” in the country work on
their eye restoration. Everything was done easily and
quickly. Thank you, thank you...

I
saw Dr. Moretsky mid January for my cataracts. My whole
experience with the clinic was great - the surgeries both went very
well. It’s difficult to describe my vision after
having the
ReStor lens implanted. I can read, watch television, drive
and
see objects so clearly it is hard to imagine. After wearing
glasses for many, many years, it seems like a miracle to have the
vision I now have.

I
had an existing cataract in my left eye when I had to undergo retinal
surgery, also in the left eye. I was told that this surgery could cause
the cataract to grow more rapidly, which happened. Six months
later I was unable to read the eye chart and scheduled to have cataract
surgery. I was not familiar with the Crystalens and asked to talk to
other patients who had them implanted; they gave me very positive
reports. I am very pleased with my results. My vision is
20/25
and I am not wearing glasses to read or drive. I have
experienced
no difficulty and am not aware I ever had the surgery. I am
sure
you will be pleased should you choose the Crystalens.

Since
the age of 12, I have had terrible vision, bordering on being legally
blind. Glasses and contacts were adequate while I was young
but
as I aged (now 65) my eyes got worse and I also developed cataracts.
Reading and driving became stressful and I was thrilled when my
Ophthalmologist said that my cataracts had developed enough to have
surgery. We were living In Alabama at the time and I had gone
through the preliminary tests for the surgery when I learned about the
ReStor Intraocular lens. We were in the process of selling
our
house and moving to Arizona. The surgery (which requires several months
of treatment) had to be postponed, as our house sold and we made the
move to Phoenix.
Needless
to say I was very disappointed about my cataract surgery prospects. My
husband saw an advertisement in the Newspaper for Dr.
Moretsky’s
seminar. I’m usually skeptical of seminars, but decided to
make
reservations. From the moment Dr. Moretsky began to discuss the eye,
cataracts and the surgery process, I knew I had found a new doctor to
perform my surgery. He was knowledgeable, professional and his
attending staff cordial and friendly.
During
the entire testing period, surgery and subsequent office visits, I have
been treated with great care and attention to detail. I
couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I
can read
anything and everything, up close and far away. My vision is 20/20 with
both eyes and I have experienced no adverse side effects.
It’s a wonderful feeling to be able to read a menu at a
restaurant or make a putt on the golf course. The first few
weeks
after surgery I was still reaching for my glasses as I got up in the
morning and then I would realize that I didn’t need glasses
anymore and wouldn’t for the rest of my life. One
of the
benefits I have noticed is the lack of headaches I have now.
I
didn’t realize that my eyes were under such strain before the
surgery.
I
would like to say anyone having this surgery should be prepared to
spend at least 2 months getting use to their new lenses. After surgery,
if you follow the instructions which include eye drops, not bending
over and generally taking it easy, you should be on cloud nine.
Not only did Dr. Moretsky and his staff give me the best care, but they
also gave me the best price. My upgraded surgery with the ReStor lens
was $1,000 less than what I was scheduled to pay in Alabama.

Thanks
to Dr. Sanford Moretsky and his staff. I now can see
perfectly
well without glasses. The surgery and the ReSTOR intraocular
lens
was successful. I’m amazed how much better I
can see both during the day and night.

Here
are what patients are
saying after choosing the Crystalens implant
procedure:
Developing
cataracts for several years caused me to have
poor eyesight. Not being able to see clearly made night
driving extremely
difficult. Needless to say, at the time to renew my driver
license, I
failed the vision test and my license was revoked. The only
option for
improved vision would be cataract surgery. After doing some
research ,
fortunately (thank God), I chose Dr. Moretsky to do my cataract surgery
and
Crystalens was my preference. After an exam and consultation
with Dr.
Moretsky, he recommended surgery with the Crystalens HD for me, saying
I was a
good candidate for this procedure. I am very pleased with his
recommendation for me. On 10/29/2008 I had surgery on my left
eye and the
Crystalens HD implanted. My vision began to improve quickly
and three
days later I took and passed the MVD eye test without
glasses. I now have
a drivers license with no restrictions. In January 2009 I had
the same
surgery and Crystalens HD lens implanted on my right eye. With near
perfect
vision in each eye, I now have excellent vision with both eyes working
together. I recommended Dr. Moretsky to my wife (who is 75+
years old)
who also developed cataracts and was wearing bi-focal glasses for
several
years. After examining her, he recommended surgery and the
Crystalens
HD. She had her right eye done in January 2009 and her left
eye in
February 2009, with excellent results. We both marvel at how clearly we
can see
and the bright colors we were missing. A sincere thank you to
Dr.
Moretsky and his well trained staff.
