Eye Surgery Vision Success Stories

Blindness to Sight Stories

Carletta Drew - Artificial Cornea Transplant

I was blind in my right eye from a childhood accident. I had multiple surgeries and human corneal transplant but all failed. Then my eye surgeon referred me to Dr. Gulani saying he was among the foremost in the world in advanced eye surgery.

Dr. Gulani performed an artificial corneal transplant on my right eye. After over seventy years, I can see again. I feel he is the best eye professional I have met & I have indeed met many. He is easy to talk to and explains everything to me. He is an angel sent from heaven.

I am overwhelmed with my restored vision and believe this is a MIRACLE

I had lost my vision in my left eye 17 years ago following an accident.

My life was adversely affected for years due to repeated breakdown of my cornea. My local eye surgeon suggested I travel to see Dr. Gulani since he was aware of his advanced skills in eye surgery.

Dr. Gulani was very competent and made me feel very comfortable and well informed as to the procedure he planned to use to heal my eye.

He successfully performed one of the first Placental Lens placement in the world on my affected eye.

Dr. Gulani has an outstanding bedside manner.

I would recommend the Gulani Vision Institute to patients anywhere in the world.

I have been a captain for 20 years and run tugboats all over the world.

I possess a 1600 gross ton United States Coast Guard Masters Open Ocean License.

Following an accident, I had contracted a corneal condition which affected my sight and doctors feared that I would lose my eye.

My career was in jeopardy and I was afraid I may never see again.

I was referred to Dr. Gulani who placed me on an advanced regimen of medication that helped heal my eye. Following this he planned to use the same laser used in Lasik surgery to remove my scar and correct my vision at the same time.

In September 2004 Dr. Gulani performed this advanced sight-saving surgery. My scar was removed and my vision was brought back to 20/20, which I never thought would eve happen.

Dr. Gulani is truly a team player. I am so thankful to have my vision restored and no words can express my gratitude.

Dr. Gulani:

I just wanted to write down some thoughts about being able to see....

When I first met you, it was because I had a traumatic cataract in my left eye. As I was blind in my right eye due to a recent accident, the thought of going completely blind was terrifying. Your concern, compassion and patience with me and my husband was incredible! You explained the pros and cons of having cataract surgery including the risk I was taking because the retina had already partially detached and had been repaired. You gave us the ability to make an informed decision on a life-changing event. Not only did you remove the cataract, you inserted an intraocular lens that allowed me to see 20/25 without wearing glasses or the need for contacts! I have been wearing corrective lenses for 50 years! It was like my "window on the world" had been cleaned, polished and opened!!

You're caring and talent of helping people have the very best vision humanly possible has shone through!

Thank you for honoring me by being my doctor - it is truly an honor and privilege to know you!

Sincerely,

Sara Messer - Visian ICLs

My vision was terrible. I was so nearsighted that I couldn’t even see the big E. I wore contact lenses for years. One year ago, I had to quit wearing my contacts and wear glasses. It made my vision seem even worse. I didn’t want to swim with my children anymore, because I couldn’t see. Theme parks and sports became a nightmare because of glasses falling off or fear of getting broken.

I had been seeing my optometrist (eye doctor) for four months. I was having terrible problems with redness, burning, dry eyes, and even more blurry vision. I could hardly function. We didn’t like the surgical option that the eye surgeon specialist, who he originally sent me to, recommended.

My eye doctor had been to a seminar that Dr. Gulani taught at, and was so impressed, that he asked me if I wanted to see another specialist. I thank God he sent me to Dr. Gulani.

Dr. Gulani implanted Visian ICLs in both my eyes and I can see clearly and feel free.

At Gulani Vision Institute, the staff is wonderful. Everyone is very professional and courteous. They make you feel welcome the minute you walk through the door.

From the first day I left Dr. Gulani’s office, I knew that this was the doctor that I wanted to do my surgery. He is very patient, understanding and takes pride in his work. My husband was a little worried about me having eye surgery. He came with me to my pre-op appointment and left very impressed and relieved after meeting Dr. Gulani.

I will now expect all of my other doctors to be like Dr. Gulani. Although I think he will be hard to duplicate. I will definitely refer everyone to him.
