For Holly Carver, wearing glasses had become part of her daily routine. She needed one pair for distance and another for reading, and they were always nearby โ in her car, her purse, and throughout her house. Even then, they didnโt always help. Driving at night was difficult, and fogged lenses were a constant annoyance.
After seeing how well her mother did under the care of Dr. Amit Chokshi, Holly decided to schedule a consultation at Florida Eye Specialists. That visit led her to Custom Lens Replacement (CLR) with the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL), a procedure she now recommends to others with complete confidence.
Choosing Custom Lens Replacement
When Holly first met with Dr. Chokshi, she was looking for a long-term solution that would allow her to stop relying on glasses. He took the time to understand her goals and helped her explore the best options.
โI wanted blended vision. I didnโt want to go through all of this and still have to wear glasses for one thing or the other,โ Holly said. โThe Light Adjustable Lens gave me that flexibility. If the blended vision didnโt work, we could just adjust it. Thatโs what made me feel comfortable moving forward.โ
She appreciated how Dr. Chokshi explained the process in a way that felt easy to understand. โHe really listened to what I needed. We talked through it together, and I never felt rushed.โ
Easy Recovery With the Light Adjustable Lens
Holly had her first eye procedure in June 2023. She was initially scheduled to have the second eye done a month later, but she changed her mind as soon as she saw the results.
โWhen I came out of the first one, I said, โIf you have any cancellations, let me know.โ I ended up going back the next week. It was the same great experience.โ
The recovery was easier than expected. โIt wasnโt even a recovery to me,โ Holly said. โPutting the drops in was the worst part, and even that wasnโt bad. The day of surgery, my eye wasnโt even irritated.โ
She completed a few light treatments after surgery to fine-tune her vision, which is a standard part of the LAL process. โIt wasnโt a big deal. Itโs just something you do to get the best results.โ
Clear Vision Without Glasses
Now, Holly says her vision has improved in every way. โWatching TV, driving, going to football games, cheering on the grandkids at T-ball and cheerleading, everythingโs better,โ she said. โMy vision wasnโt the worst in the world before, but it makes you feel like it was when you can see like this now.โ
Sheโs been able to enjoy her routine without constantly thinking about glasses or worrying about switching between pairs. โIโd do it over and over again,โ she said. โIt really changed everything for me.โ
Supportive Care Every Step of the Way
What stood out most to Holly was the care she received from Dr. Chokshi and the entire Florida Eye Specialists team.
โDr. Chokshi is so nice, Iโm almost sad not to have more appointments to see him,โ she said. โHeโs very attentive. He doesnโt rush you out. He remembers me, and he even remembers my mom. Heโs more engaging than most doctors.โ
Sheโs already recommended the procedure to many friends and finally convinced her husband to schedule his surgery. โHeโs in the middle of it now,โ she said. โI tell everyone, this is the best thing youโll ever do.โ
