    I cannot say enough amazing things about Balin Eye and Laser Center! After wearing glasses and contacts for over 20 years, I finally decided to have iLasik surgery, and the results have been life-changing—I now have 20/15 vision! As someone in law enforcement, my vision is absolutely critical, and I wouldn’t trust my eyes to anyone but Dr. Nancy Balin. She is exceptional, highly skilled, and beyond reproach. Her credentials and expertise are unmatched, and from the moment I met her, I knew I was in the very best hands. The entire staff made the experience flawless. They were welcoming, professional, and incredibly reassuring throughout the entire process. A special thank-you to Christine, who was especially wonderful—she made me feel calm and confident every step of the way. If you are considering LASIK or any eye procedure, look no further than Balin Eye and Laser Center. The results have exceeded my highest expectations, and I only wish I had done this sooner! ⭐ Five stars isn’t enough!

    I am 66 years old and had severe myopia for many years; my regular plastic eye glass lenses were over a 1/4 inch thick and even high-index plastic lenses were almost a 1/4 inch thick. I had developed cataracts over the past few years, and my eyesight was getting worse and worse yearly. I looked on the web for cataract surgeons and came across the Balin Eye and Laser Center. I liked what I saw on the web site and decided to have Dr. Nancy Balin perform the surgery. The next morning after the surgery I looked down the street from my house and everything looked clear and bright, and I could easily see the street name on the street sign down on the corner with all the letters being crisp and detailed. I am totally amazed at how well I see now and do not need glasses for distant vision. I do use reading glasses for reading and computer work. It is really like a miracle how well I can see now. I really am grateful and thankful for Dr. Nancy Balin and her excellent team. Sincerely yours, Walter B. Leiper Jr.
