I had the absolute best experience ever with my C.L.E.A.R surgery. From the first consultation to my actual surgery, the staff and Dr W were amazing. They Are so friendly and answer any questions that you might have. I was definitely nervous, but it was so relaxing even the day of surgery. I am 52 and I feel like I can see like a 17 year-old again! I just bought my first pair of regular sunglasses in over 30 years that are no longer prescriptions. Best decision ever!

Dr. Waring performed the CLEAR procedure on my eyes just days ago, and I am already very happy with the results. I’m able to read, drive, see things at a distance…I’m noticing details now I’d been missing before the surgery. I’d originally thought I’d wait until I needed cataract surgery, which might have been another decade. But seeing a friend’s positive outcome with this procedure convinced me to proceed. I’m truly enjoying the freedom and confidence of having clear vision without glasses or contacts. It’s such a gift. Dr. Waring is so kind, ...

I cannot say enough good things about my experience at Waring Vision Institute. I had ocular lens replacement with intraocular lens implants, and the results have been truly life changing. The very next day after surgery, I was able to read and type on my phone without the glasses I had depended on for years. It is an incredible feeling to regain that level of freedom and clarity. Dr. Waring and his entire team are exceptional. From the first consultation through surgery and follow up, everyone was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. ...

I can't recommend Dr. DeCourcey highly enough! My lens replacement surgery was life-changing, and I'm now completely free of glasses and contacts. His extensive experience, advanced training, exceptional skill, and state-of-the-art technology truly set him apart. Choosing him was the best decision I could have made. Thank you, Dr. DeCourcey and the entire Waring Vision team for giving me such incredible results!

Excellent staff, and Dr. Waring is the best! My prescription is too bad for LASIK to correct. I had EVO ICL yesterday & my vision is better than 20/20 already! If you think your vision is too bad to fix, make an appointment and find out for sure. I wish I had done it sooner.

Hope for older RK Eye Patients! Just wanted to post my amazing recent cataract eye surgery experience with Dr George Waring. He was familiar with my previous RK eyes surgery procedures from working with his late father & that brought me great comfort & a level of trust. My recent cataract surgery was better than expected due to Dr Waring's surgical skills. He & his office staff are professional & provide great customer service. Very glad that he performed the cataract corrective procedures on my older (30+ Yrs) RK eyes.
