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 – in her car, her purse, and throughout her house. Even then, they didn’t 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.
“I wanted blended vision. I didn’t want to go through all of this and still have to wear glasses for one thing or the other,” Holly said. “The Light Adjustable Lens gave me that flexibility. If the blended vision didn’t work, we could just adjust it. That’s what made me feel comfortable moving forward.”
She appreciated how Dr. Chokshi explained the process in a way that felt easy to understand. “He really listened to what I needed. We talked through it together, and I never felt rushed.”
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.
“When I came out of the first one, I said, ‘If you have any cancellations, let me know.’ I ended up going back the next week. It was the same great experience.”
The recovery was easier than expected. “It wasn’t even a recovery to me,” Holly said. “Putting the drops in was the worst part, and even that wasn’t bad. The day of surgery, my eye wasn’t even irritated.”
She completed a few light treatments after surgery to fine-tune her vision, which is a standard part of the LAL process. “It wasn’t a big deal. It’s just something you do to get the best results.”
Clear Vision Without Glasses
Now, Holly says her vision has improved in every way. “Watching TV, driving, going to football games, cheering on the grandkids at T-ball and cheerleading, everything’s better,” she said. “My vision wasn’t the worst in the world before, but it makes you feel like it was when you can see like this now.”
She’s been able to enjoy her routine without constantly thinking about glasses or worrying about switching between pairs. “I’d do it over and over again,” she said. “It really changed everything for me.”
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.
“Dr. Chokshi is so nice, I’m almost sad not to have more appointments to see him,” she said. “He’s very attentive. He doesn’t rush you out. He remembers me, and he even remembers my mom. He’s more engaging than most doctors.”
She’s already recommended the procedure to many friends and finally convinced her husband to schedule his surgery. “He’s in the middle of it now,” she said. “I tell everyone, this is the best thing you’ll ever do.”
