Allison, advanced keratoconus issues
Patient: Allison
Diagnosis: Advanced Keratoconus Issues
Country: Perth, Australia.
After being told by experts in Australia that she would need cornea transplants to see again, Allison went home and decided she did not agree. She then began researching alternative solutions for her advanced keratoconus.
This led me to Dr Gemoules in Texas. Over the week, Dr Gemoules worked diligently on getting the vision better for me. By the end of our time I had a pair of perfectly fitting scleral lenses and 20/30 in BOTH eyes. I am now seeing better than I have in a decade. I can read road signs and I can read things I could never see before. To say Dr Gemoules changed my life is an understatement and I recommend him to anyone in need of scleral lenses.

Tina, post LASIK surgery problems
Patient: Tina
Diagnosis: Post-LASIK Surgery HOA
Country: Vancouver, Canada.
I spent many hours with Dr. G over the five days of appointments; he patiently answered my questions and worked incredibly hard to build the best custom fit sclerals for me. Never have I met a doctor who devotes the time and energy to patients the way Dr. G does.
I flew home from Texas in the early morning hours of Christmas Eve. With my new sclerals giving me 20/15 vision, I watched the sun rise over the airplane that was going to take me home. I hadn’t seen the sky’s vivid colours so clearly since my surgery; I savoured the sunrise more that morning than I ever had in my life. It was a moment I’ll never forget. Thank you, Dr. G!

Emese, post LASIK ectasia patient
Patient: Emese
Diagnosis: Post-LASIK ectasia
Country: Oregon, U.S.A.
I have a very complex case. Not only do I have moderate post lasik ectasia, but I also have optic nerve atrophy I’m both eyes. Glasses were barely helping my 20/100 and 20 /200 vision. I was no longer able to drive or see my computer. As I am partially wheelchair bound, being able to drive is very important to me.
Dr. G worked tirelessly for a week to get me the perfect vision and comfort with sclerals. He was able to return my vision to how it was before the ectasia, something that my doctors at home didn’t think could be done. Dr. G put his heart into his work. He and his staff made me feel at home during my stay in Texas. I would recommend all people with hard to treat eye cases, go to Dr. G.

Brian, radial keratotomy patient
Patient: Brian
Diagnosis: Radial Keratotomy
Country: Oregon, U.S.A.
I was actually enjoying driving around at night and could clearly see low contrast items on top of low contrast items everywhere. It was like Dr G had given me a pair of Army special forces night-vision goggles! Maybe what I’m describing is nothing special and is how people with normal eyes see things all the time, but for me, it has been nothing short of astonishing to see this well (and comfortably), considering all that I’ve been through. I did not think it was possible. I hope the news will spread about the benefits of Laserfit Lenses for patients like me and others who have similar problems.

Duke, young keratoconus patient
Patient: Duke
Diagnosis: Keratoconus
Country: Southern California, U.S.A.
After returning home from my fruitful journey in Texas, I was able to ride my horse on a forty mile ride across the Southern Californian desert. Turning around at the twenty mile mark, I could see my home town in the distance beyond the hills my horse and I had crossed. Able to make out landmarks from such a distance brought home the full realization of what Dr. G’s Laserfit scleral lenses have achieved for me, I haven’t thought about my lenses since I put them in this morning! I see better than I have ever seen before! I have been freed from the lubricating drops!
In the months since I have been wearing my new lenses 12-18 hours a day without the pain and discomfort I endured for a decade with the RGP lenses.

Fabrice, advanced keratoconus patient from France
Patient: Fabrice
Diagnosis: Advanced Keratoconus
Country: France
I started with glasses but they soon became unbearable. So I tried to fit rigid lenses (RGP) for keratoconus. Over the years I tried different lens type and lens specialists without results. In the last few years, my vision has deteriorated further. In France, I was advised to go for corneal rings but the results can be unclear and very often additional lenses are still necessary.
So I started my own research on the English language websites and I discovered Dr Gemoules. Reading many detailed explanations convinced me that theses customized scleral lenses were worth the trip. In 2015 at 38 years old, I finally made the trip and I was not disappointed. Even with dry eyes, the comfort is amazing. It means that if you look at the moon in the night sky, you only see one moon. If you have keratoconus you understand what this means. To achieve such a result mean these lenses are a mathematical marvel!

Aliza, cornea damage after face lift surgery
Patient: Aliza
Diagnosis: Cornea Damage Post Face Lift Surgery
Country: Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A.
Dr. Greg Gemoules succeeded in improving my eyesight in a way that no other optometrist or ophthalmologist was able to do. I suffered corneal damage to both of my eyes as a result of a face lift operation. These lenses perform better than the previous ones I was wearing for the past year. My acuity is improved and I can now wear them all day without feeling any stress in my eyes. They truly are amazing.
I received treatment for five consecutive days in Dr. Gemoules’s clinic located in Coppell, TX. I stayed an extra sixth day just to be sure I was leaving with the best solution possible. Dr. Gemoules took his time to listen to my concerns. I never felt rushed. I felt that his goal was to achieve for me the best results possible, and indeed I left his office satisfied with all the improvements.

Susanna, Lasik Complications
Patient: Susanna
Diagnosis: Lasik Complications
Country: Oviedo, Spain
This is Susana from Spain. I first met her in Spain in 2003 after she and another patient contacted me about their situations. Susana had been a piano teacher, but after multiple LASIK procedures she was unable to drive or work. I brought some lenses with me to Spain and a local hospital in Oviedo provided me with the use of their ophthalmology facilities. She has since been back to see me on several occasions, most recently this year when I upgraded her lenses.

Lex, Dry eye and vision issues after LASIK
Patient: Lex
Diagnosis: Dry eye and vision issues after LASIK
Country: Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A.
Lex was never happy with his night vision since having LASIK 12 years ago, and despite 20/20 vision. Because he travels a lot, it was important that he be able to navigate safely and comfortably at night. Laserfit was able to drastically improve his low light vision, and now he can’t live without them.

Matt, Dry Eye, halos and poor night vision following LASIK
Patient: Matt
Diagnosis: Dry Eye, halos and poor night vision following LASIK
Country: Indiana, U.S.A.
Although Matt was already wearing scleral lenses, he was looking for improved vision. Laserfit lenses not only got rid of his visual distortions, but improved his vision to 20/10 in each eye. Dr. G. also found a slight muscle imbalance and was able to incorporate a horizontal prism correction into the Laserfit lenses.

Rick, Dry eyes and fluctuating vision after LASIK
Patient: Rick
Diagnosis: Dry eyes and fluctuating vision after LASIK
Country: Nebraska, U.S.A.
Rick had been unhappy with his vision for 12 years since he had LASIK surgery. Laserfit restored his vision to better than 20/20 and better than he could ever remember.
