The experience I have had before, during and after my PRK surgery has been amazing! The doctors and staff at Cape Fear Eye Associates have been wonderful! The results of the surgery exceeded my expectations and I could not be happier!

Patient of the Month (April 2010)  

Before I had surgery, I had been wearing glasses since I was 8 years old.   My vision before surgery without glasses was 20/300 in both eyes, I could barely make out the big E on the eye chart. My wife had Custom LASIK surgery at Cape Fear Eye Associates, and within a day was seeing 20/20. I still don’t know why I waited so long to have this procedure? The doctors and staff at Cape Fear Eye Associates walked me through every step of the process and immediately treated me as if I was part of their family. It was a great experience from start to finish. The actual LASIK procedure was painless and really quick! The next day following my LASIK surgery, I was 20/20 in both eyes, and one month later I am still 20/20 in my right eye and 20/15 in my left eye. Having LASIK eye surgery at Cape Fear Eye Associates was one of the best investments I’ve ever made. I can’t wait to enjoy my first summer glasses free!  I welcome anyone to come see me or call me at Heritage Jewelers so I can tell you about my entire experience, and just mention Cape Fear Eye Associates and receive a special deal on your jewelry purchase.

Research Indicates Good Nutrition May Inhibit Vision Loss  

Studies show that vegetables rich in carotenoids — dark, leafy green vegetables, including raw spinach, kale, and collard greens—significantly reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration, the eye disorder that leads to vision loss in older people. When used in combination, high amounts of vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and zinc are also linked to reduced risk. Cape Fear Eye Associates carries a special formulation of these vitamins and minerals, MacularProtect Complete®, which has been shown in large studies to limit the progression of moderate to severe macular degeneration.  In addition to good nutrition, treatment with Avastin®, available at both our Sanford and Fayetteville locations, may limit the damage associated with advanced macular degeneration
