Local Charity Foundation Grants the Gift of Sight to Local ALS Patient Amidst Worldwide patients seeking Next-Generation Vision Surgery tomorrow.
Jacksonville, FL – A cry for help from a local ALS patient has been answered with a life-changing gift. As patients from across the globe arrive in Jacksonville today to undergo the revolutionary LazrPlastique® procedure tomorrow, Gulani Vision Global Foundation steps up to provide this next-generation laser vision surgery free of charge to local ALS patient Tiffany Dooling.
“I’m afraid, watching my everyday functions deteriorate, and my vision may be my last straw of hope to continue my life,” said Tiffany, whose vision disability, coupled with her ongoing physical challenges from ALS, compromises even her ability to insert contact lenses due to worsening motor control.
In a groundbreaking move, Gulani Vision Global Foundation (501c3) is extending its mission of medical excellence and humanitarian impact by offering this state-of-the-art, micron-precision, Laser procedure, free of charge to this local patient who cannot even see the Big “E” on the eye chart.
A Visionary Breakthrough Beyond LASIK
LazrPlastique® is not only a major advancement beyond traditional LASIK in safety and outcomes, but also a beacon of hope for patients facing unique medical challenges. As Tiffany’s ability to manage daily tasks diminishes, this procedure provides her with perhaps her only sense of future independence, eliminating the need for high-prescription contacts she can no longer handle.
While patients from around the world have traveled to Jacksonville to experience this futuristic vision correction technique, Tiffany’s case underscores the foundation’s dual commitment to cutting-edge medical advancements and life-changing charitable endeavors. Her story stands as a powerful testament to the transformative potential of vision restoration in the face of progressive disabilities.
Adding to the remarkable nature of this initiative, a deaf and mute patient from Wisconsin has also traveled over a thousand miles for this groundbreaking surgery. This patient, facing significant communication and sensory challenges, as well as a visually disabling condition caused by a failed surgery in California, highlights the universal impact of LazrPlastique® in restoring sight to those who need it most. Their journey further exemplifies the foundation’s mission of delivering sight, hope, and independence to individuals facing extraordinary hardships.
Dr. Arun Gulani, a world leader in vision correction, states, “Our goal is not just to enhance sight but to restore hope and quality of life. By offering LazrPlastique® not only to demanding patients who arrive from all over the world but also to Tiffany and our patient from Wisconsin, we demonstrate that even in the face of adversity, vision can be a source of strength and freedom.”
A Global Mission with a Local Impact
The Gulani Vision Global Foundation continues to push boundaries in vision care, ensuring that both international and local patients benefit from its pioneering work. As patients from all corners of the globe arrive to experience this breakthrough tomorrow, Tiffany’s journey and the Wisconsin patient’s determination highlight the foundation’s unwavering mission—to make the impossible, possible.
Surgery will take place tomorrow in the iVision Laser Suite at Gulani Vision Institute (8075 Gate Parkway West, Suite 102, Jacksonville, Florida 32216).
