Dear Dr. Ferguson and staff, I am now sitting here, able to type, thanks to your efforts. I have undergone 2 cataract surgeries at your facility and was almost completely sightless before I started coming to you. You have restored the vision in both of my eyes, one of which has been useless to me [...]

After 40 years as a practicing doctor of Optometry I was presented with cataract surgery for myself, only because I couldn’t see the golf ball!! I selected Commonwealth Eye Surgery because in my professional opinion they are the best. Drs. Ferguson and Findley provided me excellent results after cataract surgery. Now I can see the [...]

I have been a practicing Doctor of Optometry in the Lexington, Kentucky, area for over fifty years and have seen most of the ocular abnormalities and pathological conditions that occur in this area. Over the years, I have referred thousands of patients to various ophthalmologists in Lexington and have had the opportunity to evaluate the [...]

Dear Dr. Ferguson, Thanks for turning the lights on. I had no idea I had let my vision get so bad. If was such a pleasure to meet you and have such a fun conversation. I had my first follow up appointment with 20/25 in both eyes. You did a great job! Sincerely, —T.B.

I just wanted to say thanks for the newsletter and for the great success that has come with my eye surgery. LASIK is a terrific way to get back the vision needed to see the world of beauty around us. I have improved my archery skills greatly, my golf game has improved too because now [...]

Dr. Ferguson, Findley and Staff: I just wanted to let you know how very much I appreciate you and all your staff. You are all such friendly people. The moment I walked into your office I felt like I had known each of you for years. Being able to see without glasses is a dream [...]

Since this was the first time I’d ever done anything like this, I wanted it to be perfect. I wanted it to be with someone gentle and compassionate, someone attuned to my needs; but, above all, it had to be someone with highly refined skills. After all, I wouldn’t trust my eyes to just anybody. [...]

I was near sighted most of my life. I started wearing glasses when I was 8 years old. I started wearing contact lenses when I was 16 years old. I’m 32 years old now and so had been going between glasses and contacts to see anything for half my life. My near sightedness stabilized at [...]

I didn’t need glasses until I was in college. I blamed it all on the studying. Whether it was for that reason or just age, it was time for me to get glasses. In addition to feeling awkward wearing them, they were also a pain. They made my make-up glob where they touched my face, [...]

“We have seen the Light” are the words that best describe our experience with LASIK surgery from Dr. Ferguson.

I have known about Dr. Ferguson and Commonwealth Eye Surgery for several years now, but have not been able to utilize their services for financial reasons. I found out recently that my health insurance covers Lasik and PRK surgeries and was thrilled to realize that my husband and I could finally have our vision corrected [...]

I would recommend Dr. Ferguson, Dr. Findley, and their team to anyone. They obviously really care. They understand that anyone who goes into their office is probably very uptight about having anything done to their eyes. I really liked how calm the Doctors have been in answering any questions and trying to make sure “uptight” [...]

I spoke with you on the phone well over a year ago now. I had my surgery around June 2008. In response to your points…….I am doing very well. At my last check up I had 20/15 in both eyes.  I could not have asked for better results. I am very happy with the decision [...]

I did have LASIK surgery at Commonwealth Eye Surgery. I couldn’t be more happy with the outcome. I am a 46 year old women and have worn glasses since I was 7 years old. I remember after getting my first pair of glasses, I stepped outside with my mother I said, “Mommy the trees are so pretty”.
