I have struggled with contact lenses for ten years since I got diagnosed with keratoconus, which is an extreme form of astigmatism that disqualifies you from laser vision correction. I consulted with every doctor possible including surgeons and the best they could do for my vision was a blur - with contacts or glasses.
After consulting with Dr. Mehta, the main thing I got was a sense of someone who actually listened to my concerns and wasn't rushing me out the door. She had a patient approach and gave me a few options but offered me hope that surgery was not needed. She had me try a special type of contact lens that no one else had suggested before. I was reluctant because it was not the type I was using for the last ten years. Lo and behold, the first time I put them on it was like I started seeing things I didn't even notice were there before!
My vision literally felt like going from black and white TV to HDMI!
I can't argue that, at first, the lenses themselves were not exactly comfortable but Dr.Mehta coached me through wearing them until I was able to tolerate them. My vision has never been better and it is to the point that I finally went back to completing a personal goal of mine that I had put off due to a lack of confidence in my vision: I obtained my pilots license!
I cannot thank Dr.Mehta and her team enough for everything. As a practicing physician myself, I know that bedside manner alone does not cure illness, nor does being a super scientist. It is precisely that combination of things that a great doctor has to have, and I have no doubt that Dr.Mehta and the team at Visual Health in Ashburn will go on to help many others like me because they listen and know what they're doing when it comes to correcting vision.
I am so thankful for the new lease on vision that you gave me! One doesn't know what they've been missing until it's taken away and when you get the opportunity to get your vision back it is truly miraculous...
