They didn’t rush me, but instead made helpful suggestions and now I have an awesome pair of frames, not to mention the fact that I can see ten times better than before. You guys are the best!"
  • "I’ve been going to Dr. Casas for over five years now and even though I only see him once a year for my annual exam, he and his staff always make me feel very welcome and take care of all my eye care needs. Dr. Casas and Associates is the best at what they do and make you feel right at home."

Within a week of using the new lenses, I noticed a change and haven’t had any problems since. Thanks, Dr. Casas!"

Dr. Casas was very thorough in her consultation with me and answered all of my questions, making me feel comfortable with going forward with the procedure. I’m so glad I did the Lasik, it has been of great convenience to me and my sight has never been better"
