Very poor vision since 6th grade- wore glasses all the time- could not see well- road signs etc- also, in my sports play my glassed fogged up all the time- I could not see.

My eye doctors in the VILLAGES (fastest growing Micro-community in the Nation) village were hesitant to do any surgery on me. They were aware of Dr. Gulani’s advanced work and said I must go to him to be checked out.

My experience at Gulani Vision Institute has been The best!

Everything totally professional, first class, and very friendly. Such nice people.

As for Dr.Gulani:

WOW! Does he dress nice!
I have total, 100% confidence in what he says.
If it can be done, he can do it.

I am so happy- no glasses to bother me again- Every morning I get up and say- No glassed to put on.

Dr. Gulani is a class act- his demeanor is that of a person who knows what to do- and then can do it- he gives me total confidence- he cares about us.

I (we) have a pile of his business cards- in the Villages we have 70,000 people who have had or will have a need for Dr. Gulani and GVI- we want them to have the same success that I have had.

Also- the entire staff has been so nice to us- Thanks so very much.

Before correction my left eye vision was 20/400. I had Keratoconus.

My personal and my business life suffered from my poor vision. I also had plenty of headaches from the difference in my vision.

My eye doctor was knowledgeable of Dr.Gulani’s success with INTACS for Keratoconus and he recommended me to see him for an INTACS procedure

Dr. Gulani has been a blessing for my vision.

My vision is better and continues to improve. I told Dr. Gulani that I now see in "High Definition".

- Officer Fred Smith

Prior to Dr. Gulani’s Advanced Laser Vision surgery my vision could be described as nothing short of a complete disability. For several years leading up to my consultation and treatment at the Gulani Vision Institute I was constantly besieged with poor vision, both near and far, double vision, strained eyes, dry eyes, itchy eyes, and tired eyes all of which, as one could imagine, took a drastic toll on both my personal life and my legal practice.

In 2006, after consulting multiple doctors over the course of 5 years for my disabling vision, I was eventually diagnosed with a corneal disease called Keratoconus. Based on this diagnosis I was informed that there were three options available to me that would enhance my overall vision but each of which had their independent downfalls: gas permeable contacts lenses (often intolerable by its users), intacs (corrective in nature but imprecise), and a corneal transplant (invasive, possibility of rejection, long healing timeline, and not an option for someone at my age of 31). Unable to bear the pain of gas permeable contact lenses I spoke to several friends and acquaintances regarding my condition and the remaining options that I had.

As it turned out, a good friend of mine in the medical profession had recently been a patient of Dr. Gulani and she was astonished not only by this aptitude and professionalism, but equally in his willingness to discuss with her, at length, about my condition as she understood it.

At his invitation, and as a resident of Maryland, I contacted Dr. Gulani over the phone and we spoke in detail about the potential courses of action that may be available. While there are several reasons why I decided to see Dr. Gulani, first and foremost, I would have to say was his undeniable and equally insatiable desire to see that I received the absolute best vision correction available.

My experience with Dr. Gulani and his staff at the Gulani Vision Institute was and remains superb. Simply put, as a patient, I have never experienced such an inviting, professional, and courteous atmosphere as that which I have and continue to receive from Dr. Gulani and the Gulani Vision Institute.

I believe that Dr. Gulani is an inspiration to the practice of medicine, an obvious and unparalleled visionary in the field of Ophthalmology and advanced cornea disorders, an educator to doctors, his staff, and his patients alike; and the very person to whom I owe an immeasurable amount of gratitude.

I will continue to recommend Dr. Gulani and his staff at the Gulani Vision Institute to anyone who is in need of vision correction.

My vision in my left eye was such that I relied almost exclusively on the vision from my right eye. I had Keratoconus in my left eye.

My eye doctor in Gainesville, FL made me aware of Dr.Gulani’s skills.

At GVI, I felt that Dr. Gulani and staff were very comforting.

Dr. Gulani, I believe has excellent people skills when dealing with patients to go along with his obvious medical expertise.

I am still in the process of assessing the improvement of my vision after Intacs® surgery but I am pleased so far and comfortable with how things have been explained.

Dr. Gulani strikes me as an individual of superior knowledge and confidence in his ability that makes me comfortable as a patient.

Robert Lanier - (Intacs®) - (Univeristy of Florida Basketball Coach) - Gainesville, Florida

My vision was very poor in my right eye due to my keratoconus. I had many issues in my job viewing my computer screen and many times I would have to close my right eye just so I could see.

My eye doctor said Dr. Gulani could help me and he was the best at what he does

Everyone at GVI is so friendly and everyone knows who I am (I don’t usually have to check in). Greatest experience I have had at a doctor’s office

Dr. Gulani is a very thorough, excellent eye surgeon. He really knows what he is doing and on top of that he makes sure I know what he is doing and why.

He performed Intacs® surgery for me and my vision is much better than it was before. I have gotten 10 times better and I know no longer have to close my eyes to see.

Dr.Gulani is an excellent surgeon, he knows what he’s doing and makes sure you know as well. He is a very nice person and really looks out for his patients. He makes you as comfortable as he can in a possibly uncomfortable situation.

-Ben Pelech (Intacs®) - Jacksonville, Florida

I had Keratoconus. My vision began to impact my performance @ work. It began to decrease my production by the hour. I knew there was a serious problem. My contacts were not correcting my vision any longer. Also, I could not enjoy games with my son who is 4 yrs. old

My experience w/ the Gulani Vision Institute has been a true blessing.

Dr. Gulani’s a real people person as much as I have learned from him over the past three months. When I mentioned him doctors (eye) all over know him.

He perfomed Intacs® surgery for my eye and now I can see. Thank God!! I can perform my duties of my job better.

Dr.Gulani is a special person. He is a great surgeon, educator, and professional.

-Ms. Chandra Simmons (Intacs®) - Jacksonville, Florida

I am a reactor operator at a nuclear power plant. I have Keratoconus and my vision was going to cause me to loose my job because I have to meet government medical requirements to keep my operator license.

My eyed doctor referred me to Dr. Gulani. I have keratoconus and was wearing RGP contacts with glasses to see. Dr. Gulani is an expert with this disease!

Excellent!! Staff was courtious and helpful.
Dr. Gulani is the Model for any other Dr. to follow!

He is a Straight shooter, explains everything at a level I understand. I have never worked with any other Dr. like him.

Dr. Gulani installed Intacs® in my right eye. I now can easily pass the vision tests for my license. My life is much better because of this. My wife and I ride motorcycles and have rode up to Indiana and back twice. Before my surgery my wife, who preferred to follow me, would have to call me on the CB to tell me when to turn because I couldn’t read the signs! Now I can read very well!

Dr. Gulani’s work has impressed my regular eye doctor who said, “He does great work”. He let me know exactly what to expect and made himself available to me at any time. I recommended my wife to him!!

My wife just had Lasik surgery on both eyes, done by Dr. Gulani. I am working on my cousin’s husband to come here, he too has keratoconus. I have also recommended to fellow workers.

-Jack Stewart (Intacs®) and Mary Jo Stewart - Ocala, Florida

My vision was extremely poor. I suffered from Keratoconus.
My job entails extensive travel, so directions were difficult to follow because of my inability to clearly see street signs, highway signs, etc… My vision also impaired my ability to enjoy golf.

I was recommended by my eye doctor and his glowing recommendation of Dr. Gulani and his abilities made my decision a “no-brainer.”

GVI is Extraordinary. The entire staff is professional, friendly, and courteous. The facility is noticeably technologically advanced, yet comfortable and inviting.

I feel that Dr. Gulani is decades ahead of his peers. He has the knowledge, courage and ability to do what is best for his patients. His drive to enable his patients to live better lives is his most valuable asset.

After my Intacs® surgery, My vision has improved noticeably. I saw the difference within two days of my surgery. I no longer feel doomed to a life of poor vision-a fate I had previously accepted.

I have the highest regard for Dr. Gulani’s surgical skills. He thoroughly educated me on my procedure and the possible results. I felt fully informed and comfortable about the surgery.

In my opinion, Dr. Gulani is the only option if one is considering surgery to improve their vision.

-James Demps (Intacs®) - Jacksonville, Florida

I had very high Astigmatism. I heard about Dr. Gulani thru my eye doctor at Mayo Clinic.

He performed my advanced Laser Vision Surgery.
I feel Blessed and highly favored that God used this man to bless my life, I thank my lord my savior Jesus Christ for him.

He is undeniably a gifted individual.

I can see twice as good as before and it’s even getting better still.

He is very professional from the moment you step in and it says “Gulani Institute” and the ladies up front and his fancy suits, and his love for what he doing, it’s more than a 9 to 5.

Jacob Johnson - Jacksonville, Florida

I had surgery for my Keratoconus with another surgeon in Maryland.
My vision was very bad 20/400 and made me nervous about driving at night

My eye doctor told me to seek help and said Dr.Gulani was the best and that is what I needed.

My experience at GVI has been great, staff is very professional and Dr. Gulani explained everything to my family and I and also to my eye surgeons at the Naval Hospital. I felt very comfortable with his approach

Dr. Gulani performed Laser surgery on my previous Intacs® and changed my life. I have been afraid that I was going to be classified as legally blind, however now my vision is much better.

It is indeed a blessing to have my vision better

Dr. Gulani’s skills are Awesome. He is very passionate about his work, that passion gave me confidence in him

Duke Wiliams (Intacs® & Advanced Laser Technique) - Jacksonville, Florida

My vision was terrible. I have Keratoconus and I had worn glasses or contacts since the 4th grade.

My experience at GVI has been very professional, efficient and effective.

I think Dr. Gulani is very knowledgeable and professional and explained everything very well.

I underwent Advanced Laser Vision Surgery and I have 20/20 vision and it has had a great impact on my life.

Dr.Gulani’s skills were outstanding; his personal touch was very good, he explained the procedure thoroughly.

Steve Kane, Manager, Bank of America - (Advanced Laser ASA) Jacksonville Florida

The vision in my left eye had a negative effect on my life daily. My job requires much time in front of a computer. I began having problems viewing the screen and focusing on what I was doing.

I was referred by my eye doctor at Fernandina Beach. After the initial visit and some internet research I knew this was the direction that I wanted to go.

This was the most personal and professional experience that I have ever had with a doctor. The results have been exceptional!

Dr. Gulani is always very professional. The time that he spent explaining the procedure made the decision much easier. I had Intacs® surgery for my Keratoconus.

Dr. Gulani is a consummate professional and all that I have read about him is true. He is truly a gift for all of us with poor vision.

I will definitely recommend the office to anyone that has vision problems. They are truly the best that I have found.

Miles Wells (Intacs®) - Jacksonville, Florida

I was legally blind in my left eye. I had Keratoconus.
I would not drive after dark or in areas I was not familiar with. I could not take my children out after dark or drive to visit my mom in West Palm. It also interfered with my work.. I could not read the paper work.

My eye doctor was aware of Dr. Gulani’s Advanced Laser Techniques for Keratoconus and asked me to see him. I was very nervous but I’ve seen my eye doctor since I was 5 years old so I trusted him.

My experience at Gulani Vision Institute was Great! Everyone made me feel like I was the only client and what I felt was all that mattered.

Dr. Gulani is the best! He takes great pride in what his patients feel.

I underwent Advanced Laser Vision Surgery on my Keratoconus and today I feel more independent. I was able to drive myself to the institute today in an unfamiliar area with confidence. Also I can take my kids out after dark. We don’t have to work around daytime hours.

As for Dr.Gulani’s skills and patient care, Word’s can’t describe it. He truly wants what is best for his patients. Extremely skilled, takes pride in teaching his patients.

-Janet Deel (Intacs®)- Orange Park, Florida

My Vision was very poor and the painful eye made it hard to drive and I was in an ill mood from the pain

My doctor in Brunswick, Georgia suggested Dr.Gulani’s expertise in Corneal transplantation

My experience at GVI was Very pleasant and made me feel like I was important

Dr.Gulani is very nice and friendly, has all the time you need to explain things and has a slight sense of humor.

After my Corneal transplant I see much better, not in ill mood so much now

“ I wonder if it hurt much when Dr.Gulani fell from heaven “

I tell my story about the surgeon in Savannah who almost made me lose my eye, and how Dr. Gulani saved it and improved my vision.

-Gary Kinard (Corneal Transplant)- Georgia

My vision was pretty bad. I had Keratoconus and this was a major impact in all ways.

I was suggested to see Dr. Gulani for my INTACS procedure by my eye doctor.

My experience at GVI has been great!

Dr. Gulani’s care and skills are very good.

- Jose Marroquin

I could not see the big E on the eye chart. I had keratoconus and this was very depressing; frustrating.

My experience at GVI was completely positive.

Wish Dr. Gulani had the time to be our doctor in all aspects of our health!! We appreciate him and what he has done for me, and the hope/help you have given us Tom and me (Tom’s wife).

I had INTACS surgery and am looking forward to being able to do painting and woodworking etc. Resuming a normal life again.

I think Dr. Gulani’s skills, patient care and knowledge are in one word-Unsurpassed!!

- Thomas Stutson

I couldn’t see the Big E on the eye chart. My vision was a blur.

I had Keratoconus and my eye doctor knowing of Dr.Gulani’s reputation for treating Keratoconus referred me to him.

Also my mother works in the surgery with another eye surgeon and he too stated Dr. Gulani’s reknowned skills.

At GVI everyone was very professional, they worked to fit me in for appointments around my schedule.

Dr. Gulani really seemed to care about my vision and well-being. He is very Personable.

I underwent INTACS surgery with him and things are improving each day, now I can see the Big E and more.

Dr. Gulani is a very skilled surgeon with a great bedside manner. I would recommend him to anyone, anywhere.

I have Keratoconus and could not see with glasses. I could not read with hard contact lens. I needed reading glasses. Now I can read well even in dark restaurants.

Dr. Gulani performed INTACS surgery for me. He is a Great surgeon and Knows a lot about to treat keratoconus. I am very happy with current vision. Many things are easier to do.

Dr. Gulani always lets you know what’s going on.
