B. M. from Costa Mesa

Dr. Shea is the best. He is the first, and only, person to fit me with contact lenses on the first visit in 50 years. Great comfort and vision. He tells you like it is and has a great sense of humor.

Five years ago my wife had a tragic stroke and lost all of her vision except for the right hemisphere in her right eye. No vision in the left eye. So no peripheral vision at all on the left side. Right hemesphere vision at only about 20/100. So she is legally blind.

Four Ophthalmologists have told her there is nothing that can help her vision. She was examined by an ophthalmologist’s onsite technician in Laguna Hills stating, no help possible.

Recently, while I was with Dr Shea for my second yearly exam, I asked if he thought  there was anything that could be done for my wife.  She had not been able to read any magazines, newspapers or most importantly letters and email from her mother, who is 97 years old, since the stroke.  He said, “Let’s try.” What a great attitude!

Taking unscheduled time for her, in his very busy office, he began his analysis. In about 30 minutes he said he thought he could make it possible for her to read her mother’s email and letters. Also maybe assist in distance vision a little.

After we picked up her new glasses and got home, she sat down and immediately started reading Westways magazine! What a great sight that was. She can also read information from the television, computer and email from our iPhone. Also her distance vision is better.

Thank You Dr Shea, you have changed her life!
