For years, my mornings started with a blurry reach for my glasses.

I would then go about my day always having to adjust my contacts that seemed to become unfocused again by 2 pm inevitably. I wanted to wake up and be able to conquer each day without having to worry about an irritating contact. That’s why I decided to explore LASIK, and my research led me to Middle TN Eye.

From the moment I stepped through their doors, I felt a sense of reassurance. The staff truly operates like a well-oiled machine, creating an atmosphere where one immediately feels comfortable and at ease. Of course, the prospect of LASIK surgery brought its share of nerves, particularly the thought of the procedure itself. The most obvious concern being watching them cut into my eye while it was open.

My anxiety was significantly eased by the exceptional care I received. Dr. Hudson played a crucial role in this, calmly guiding me through every step of the procedure. She walked me through everything she was doing every step of the way, which made a world of difference in keeping me informed and reducing my apprehension. This constant communication helped transform a potentially frightening experience into a manageable one.

The attentiveness of Middle TN Eye didn’t end with the surgery. Their commitment to patient well-being continued with exceptional post-operative care. They checked on me after the procedure and sent me home with everything I needed for aftercare, ensuring a smooth and comfortable recovery.

Looking back, my decision to undergo LASIK at Middle TN Eye was truly transformative.  This experience has not only improved my vision but has also brought a newfound sense of freedom to my daily life. Getting LASIK was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I am so glad I chose to use Dr. Hudson and her incredible staff.
