Dr. Robert Maloney - Patient Testimonials

(received by email)
For Dr. Robert Maloney from the Maloney Vision Institute in LA - I wanted to thank you for allowing me to see the beauty of the world with my own eyes.

I have been painting for most of my adult life, as well as a kid, during many classes in school. One of my favorite subjects is the human body, working with live models to create works using a variety of techniques, but especially pencils and watercolors. I was always fascinated by anatomy and found the human body to be remarkable. Transferring these feelings through my paintings, I gathered an audience who seems to appreciate my work.

I noticed vision problems a while ago and started to wear eyeglasses when needed. The problem was that everything looks different, distorted, through glasses, if compared with the naked eye. I could not accept the idea of having the sky “framed” by my glasses, and I felt that my art is not as accurate and captivating as it used to be. I began to look into having a Lasik surgery at the beginning of 2008, and after meeting with you and discussing my situation, decided to have a PRK procedure at the Maloney Vision Institute.

It have been 7 weeks since I had the surgery, and my eyesight is back to normal. I don’t need to uses glasses any more, and just looking out from the window makes me happy. Sunrises, Sunsets, the city at night, the ocean, and of course people, all look crisp, lively and very inspiring. I’m planning to have a new exhibit in January and you will be invited, of course!

Thank you again Dr. Maloney, and please thank your staff as well.

God bless you,

Mark S.

Hi,

I was treated by Dr. Robert Maloney three and a half years ago, and searched for his name when I found this website. I wanted to add my personal story to the nice collection you gathered.

I used contact lenses for at least five years, since they were a better alternative to eyeglasses. During this period, I had a couple of infections, which luckily were treated and cured quickly and did not result in any chronic problem. At the same time, I was thinking that the risk of having an eye infection is greater than having a lasik operation I read online about the procedure and found that within the years the laser machines used for lasik have improved and the results are getting better.

 One of the main recommendations that repeatedly showed up in articles was to find a good, experienced surgeon. I live in Santa Monica and I asked friends and family members to find out who is considered the top lasik expert in our area. They gave me a few names and I went and met all of them for an initial consultation.

The thing that I liked about Dr. Robert Maloney was his eye-level personal approach. He was friendly and confident, and I was reassured when I saw his office, his assistants and the technologies he uses. The operation was quick and Dr. Maloney spoke to me throughout, explaining what is done in each stage.

I am very pleased with the results - I don’t need to use contacts/glasses any longer and although the initial excitement over it subsides over time, I still thank Dr. Maloney for improving my appearance and saving me the time and troubles of using contact lenses.

Best Regards,

Jeremy T.
