Dear Dr. Thomas Azman,
IFirst and foremost, I would like to thank you and your staff for helping me with my inability to see colors. From all the phone calls and emails we exchanged, to picking me up at the train terminal, you and your staff went above and beyond any expectation. You made me feel comfortable with the whole entire process and I want you to know how much that means to me. It was not easy to go hours away from home and have an unusual procedure done with a doctor you have never met in person. Added to that fact was the uncertainly of this procedure actually helping me. When I finally arrived in Maryland, I was still a bit skeptical, but before we even started the evaluation, you took the time to sit down and reassure me that you would be able to correct my problem, and explained how things would go step by step. The actual evaluation was a full day, and at times frustrating due to the fact of uncertainty. You actually explained to me that I had one of the more severe eases that you have seen in dealing with being colorblind. You kept reassuring me though that you would be able to fix this issue and sure enough you did. Not only did you fix my color vision problems, but you also helped with finding me a new brand of contact that wasn't so irritating to my eyes, and since I have changed over brands, I have noticed a difference. The reason I started searching the web and trying to find assistance with my problem is that I had just graduated college with a degree in criminal justice and most careers in this field require that you be able to see color and differentiate colors. I am from Massachusetts and the test that is required is a number test in a bubble and the numbers to most people stick out and they can see them without a problem. Well that's for most people, because out of a series of 15 examples I was only able to get 2 of them right before the lenses. Right after I got back to Massachusetts with the lenses, I took the test again and got all 15 examples correct. This was the last step that I needed to get a job that I applied for and got hired; the only reason why I didn't get the job was due to the fact of being colorblind. Within a month of the process I started my job in corrections in the state of Massachusetts. It has now been 15 months working at a correction facility, and I love my career. The price of these lenses was only a small fee in comparison to not having a career at all. Ever since I was a Small boy I wanted to work in law enforcement, studied it in college and to think without the help of you and your staff my ambitions might have been nothing but dreams, but now I am making them a reality. I don't think I could thank you enough. You really changed my life and helped me more than you can imagine. Having this procedure done was a very positive thing in my life and can never forgot what you have done for me. I would recommend you to anyone who has a challenge with seeing colors. Thanks again, hope all is well! Sincerely, Matthew C
