Patient Testimonials

Dear Dr. Fields, I would like to thank you and your staff for the wonderful service you have given me for many years and to thank you from the bottom of my heart for fitting me with binocular glasses which have given me back the quality of life. My thanks once again.

Bruce L.
My vision went from normal to the current loss of central vision in only a couple of weeks. The glasses I have as a result of Dr. Fields have allowed me some independence I thought was gone forever. I thought that enjoyment was also lost but now I can watch and enjoy ball games, the news and weather, as well as my favorite programs.
Jody G.
My mother is 97 years old. Reading and writing are my mother’s passion-The Smartlux device you recommended is her lifeline. Reading is very time consuming and difficult but with the aid of the Smartlux it is possible. Thank you for being so patient and trying so hard to help her eyesight.
The family of Hayden Reed
Thank you to Dr. Fields for helping our son many years ago with his vision. Hayden is now in HS with straight A’s and a very successful student. We attribute his success to Dr. Fields helping with his vision problem at an early age.
