I was terribly myopic and had been wearing glasses since age 5! I was lucky enough to be referred to Dr. Lamensdorf before moving to Florida and liked him immensely and trusted him implicitly. I can’t enumerate all of the many changes! No more night time fumbling and more enjoyable playing with and reading to my 3 grandsons! Dr. Lamensdorf and his excellent staff could not have done anymore to make me feel comfortable and well-cared for.

“I chose Dr. Lamensdorf because he is the best! You will be very satisfied and very happy!”

-- Elizabeth L. Gorey
Sun City, Florida

“I saw halos around lights at night and had trouble reading street signs. Dr. Lamensdorf gave an expert and detailed discussion of what to expect in cataract surgery. I now have normal vision for the first time in my life (no glasses or contact lenses). He is a real perfectionist who is extraordinarily dedicated to his patients’ well being. I feel extremely fortunate to have selected Dr. Lamensdorf to do my cataract surgery!”

-- Mina E. Vance
Chevy Chase, Maryland

“My vision was blurred and I heard he does excellent work. I can see much better and you cannot find a better doctor.”

-- Al Snyder
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My vision was blurry with lots of squinting and at times wearing my glasses over my contacts to read! I hadn’t realized just how poor my vision was until after the ReStor lenses were put in. Dr. Lamensdorf wants the best possible eyesight/results for each of his patients and leaves no stone unturned in his endeavor to achieve that. I can SEE beautifully. Colors are so bright, I can read the fine print and don’t need glasses at all. I love my “new eyes”. Dr. Lamensdorf is an excellent surgeon, very dedicated, experienced and thorough. The results are fantastic. He is the best.

“The results (of my cataract surgery and ReStor lens implantation) far exceeded my expectations. I keep the old trifocal, coke-bottle-lens glasses that I no longer need to wear in my desk drawer as a reminder to be thankful for your skill as a surgeon.”

-- Martin E. Runyan
Lakewood Ranch, Florida

“I don’t need glasses anymore. My vision is very much improved.
Dr. Lamensdorf is wonderful, very caring and considerate.”

-- Lorna Townsend
Bradenton, Florida

"My vision was distorted, cloudy.  Night vision was triple images and much light diffusion.  I am pleased with the vast improvement in my vision that often I do not need to wear glasses.  Dr. Lamensdorf is an extremely talented surgeon with excellent patient skills." 

-- Walter M. Monkiewicz
Venice, Florida

Dr. Lamensdorf has been my doctor since I arrived in Sarasota twenty years ago. I was seeing things in triple and reading glasses became less helpful.  Now, I don’t need glasses except in low light! New lease on life!! Dr. Lamensdorf has an impeccable staff and approach. Go for it!

-- Gisele Pelaprat
Sarasota, Florida

“With the ReStor lenses, I (no longer) use glasses and I can (now) read small print. Dr. Lamensdorf and his entire staff are consummate professionals. I cannot envision experiencing better care elsewhere.”

-- Richard Darragh, Ph.D.
Osprey, Florida

“I just want to thank you for all you have done for my husband and me. You have opened up a new world for us. We now see things we never saw before. The colors are so vivid. There really are quite a few stars in the sky. Our tennis group tells me I am playing much better tennis. I can see the ball much better. It is not a problem driving at night anymore…. Again, thank you for your patience and determination. You also have a great team working for you.”

-- Dolores Schwarze
Venice, Florida

"There is no more skilled surgeon with a total commitment to the patient’s care and outcome.  The clinical and administrative processes are flawless."

-- Earl E. Jacobson
Sarasota, Florida

"My vision was a challenge prior to surgery.  Reading was becoming a chore rather than a pleasure.  On my initial visit, it was apparent that Dr. Lamensdorf cared very much about his patients, his staff and his work.  My world is brighter, clearer and less stressful.  Don’t miss the opportunity to reap the benefits of a physician who holds such high standards for himself and his team."    

-- Jean Forni

“Vision is priceless and I feel reborn with near 20/20 (vision) and (freedom) from wearing glasses.”

-- Robert Farrington

“If you want to see better than you ever did before, get ReStor® lenses.”

-- Mary Lou Zehler

“I can see 100% better and night driving is good. You are going to the best – don’t worry! No letter in the world…could explain how good he is. To me, he is Number One.”

-- Richard Muller

“(The) quality of my life has improved immensely because I no longer need glasses or contacts. I would recommend without reservation cataract surgery done by Dr. Lamensdorf.”

-- Richard Reston
Sarasota, Florida

“Do it! The (cataract) operation is a snap and so quick. It is wonderful not to search for my glasses.”

-- Mary Jo Reston
Sarasota, Florida

“I did not realize that I had cataracts. I always thought that my contacts never fit properly. Since the surgery, I have begun to be more active, back to sailboat racing. Dr. Lamensdorf and his staff are extremely competent. The surgery doesn’t hurt more than a bad contact day. Actually very little discomfort.”
