Today I experienced something I didn’t even realize I was carrying so much emotion around until it happened—and it completely overwhelmed me in the best way. 🥹❤
This morning, I had LASIK with Dr. Woolfson at Biltmore Town Square in Asheville, and I have cried so many happy tears today trying to process what this actually means for me.
I’ve worn glasses since I was 11 years old. I honestly don’t remember what it feels like to wake up and just… see. For most of my life, the first thing I’ve had to do every morning is reach around for my glasses just so the world—and the people I love in it—could come into focus.
And today, that changed.

Reviews
Dr. Woolfson and his staff made everything nice and simple. The whole process from consultation to surgery was just one week. The surgery itself is 10-15 minutes and isn’t all that bad! Woolfson and his staff have a great sense of humor and will make you feel comfortable and at home.
I cannot say enough about how amazing Woolfson is! I had LASIK done today and the staff was so kind, caring, and accommodating. Each prior appointment, I was treated how patients should be treated at any institute. If I could come here for routine eye care, I would. If you have been debating where to have surgery done, I cannot recommend Woolfson enough! I also want to brag on how amazing Tarah and Dr. Todd is. They want nothing more than for patients to feel seen, heard, and cared for. Thank you Dr. Woolfson and staff.
