Shenandoah Lasik & Cataract – John A Stefano MD

This place is terrific. I purchased a Groupon as a birthday present to myself back in July for LASIK at the Shenandoah LASIK and Cataract Center and I’m so glad I did. Last year I struggled with wearing contacts in VA. I think the allergies in living here for 5 years finally caught up with me because I could only wear glasses for the longest time. And I couldn’t stand it. Running, playing tennis and doing yoga are impossible with glasses on. I researched Dr. Stefano, M.D., and was confident in his 20 years of experience in eye surgery. So I took the long trek from Alexandria, VA to Winchester, VA to have a consultation, surgery, and various checkups and it was worth every penny. I can now see ²⁰⁄₂₀ in my left eye and ²⁰⁄₁₅ in my right eye. They guided me through the procedure and made me feel at ease the entire time. It’s not the most pleasant experience and I looked like a hot mess afterwards (a little black and blue), but the recovery time is unbelieveable. Also, clean your eyes and follow the instructions post-​surgery. I used OCuSOFT eyelid cleansers and hypoallergenic make-​up removers religiously. Best of luck on your search for a trusted LASIK doctor! You cannot go wrong with this center. Nice staff, clean office, and top notch procedure.
