Dr. Rudd’s office has a great welcoming atmosphere and amazing staff. Would rate them better than 5 stars if I could. Thank you all for giving me the ability to see without glasses. If you are worried about lasik like I was I would recommend these folks. They are patient, understanding, and will give you all the information you need to feel more at ease. I would recommend them to anyone wanting corrective eye surgery and especially those that are a bit nervous about it.

We’re grateful for the trust you placed in Rudd Vision and truly appreciate you taking the time to share such a positive experience with others!I was anxious about catarac surgery. Then I met the team at Rudd Vision. I was astounded by their friendliness and professional attitudes. I had the surgery. I have had no pain, none at all. My fuzziness of vision is completely gone and I can read again. 100% satisfied with the entire process.

I had been thinking about having RLE for about 10 years, for whatever reason I put it off. I was referred by a close friend and went in for a consultation. The staff is so nice & friendly, very respectful, they make you feel at ease. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Rudd and his staff. Dr. Rudd and his staff check your eyes with a very thorough eye examination, then walk you through the procedure for your RLE surgery. I had four different lenses I could choose from. I went with the best one because I didn’t wanna wear glasses ever again. i picked my lens's and made my appointment. The whole procedure was painless and lasted about 15 minutes. then i came back a week later and had the other eye done. I’m 2 1/2 weeks out and I could not be happier with the results. i am able to see without glasses! I mean i can see near side, far side, read little tiny writing that even with my glasses I couldn’t read! and my vision keeps getting better as my eyes heal. I can’t describe the feeling. It’s life-changing to say the least. thank you Dr.Rudd and thank you to his whole staff🫶🏻
The difference in my vision is amazing!! The staff are courteous and professional I couldn’t be happier with the results
