My career depends on perfect vision . . . and now it’s better than 20/20! Thanks to Dr. Shapiro!
Professional Baseball Player
In the Big Leagues, the difference between throwing a strike and giving up a home run is a matter of a hair’s breadth -- 90 feet away from the pitcher’s mound. As a professional pitcher, I absolutely depend on perfect eyesight to place my pitches. Accuracy is everything. I could have gone anywhere for my LASIK, but I trusted my vision to Dr. Shapiro in Ventura, California.
Laser eye surgery is all that Dr. Shapiro does and he teaches other doctors. He is a world class professional who performed my LASIK with the utmost precision and skill. My eyesight is now even better than 20/20 and better than it ever was with my contacts or glasses, which gives me an extra advantage for my pitching. I’m thrilled. Thank you, Dr. Shapiro!

California State
Marksmanship Champion
In competition marksmanship, and in my law enforcement job, I need incredibly accurate vision. I trusted Dr. Shapiro to perform my LASIK based on his extraordinary reputation. After wavefront LASIK with Dr. Shapiro, I now see better than 20/20. It's almost unbelievable that I can see this well without glasses! This helped me become California State Marksmanship Champion -- and makes me more capable on the job. I depend on my outstanding new vision. Thank you Dr. Shapiro!
I flew from Shanghai, China to have LASIK with Dr. Shapiro. It was the best trip I've ever made. I love my new vision!

I am an instructor at the Shanghai Community International School in Shanghai, China. Ever since I was a child I have dreamed of seeing without glasses or contacts as my eyesight has always been extremely poor. When I finally decided to have LASIK, I read up on laser vision correction and realized how critical it is to find the best possible surgeon, even if it meant traveling a great distance: it was obvious that the results of LASIK eye surgery depend most on who performs the surgery. I researched surgeons here in Shanghai as well as in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and Australia -- and then eventually in the United States and Canada. After researching this very carefully, I decided to have my LASIK surgery with Dr. Shapiro in Ventura, California. As an academic, I was particularly impressed by the contributions Dr. Shapiro has made to the field of LASIK and the scientific papers he has published in the international medical literature. I flew from Shanghai and had an in-depth personal consultation with Dr. Shapiro. I was extremely impressed and decided to have my LASIK with him. My vision is the best it's ever been in my life now -- even better than it was with my glasses or contacts. Losing my glasses and contacts is like a miracle -- a dream come true! Finding a great surgeon is crucial to the best possible LASIK results and I'm so pleased that I came from Shanghai for my surgery with Dr. Shapiro.
