"Dear Dr. Joy,
It's a rare occasion when I'm at a loss for words, but words cannot convey my thanks to you for giving me 'new eyes'. As a teacher, I know how it feels to influence a student's life in a positive way, but I cannot imagine how it must feel to be able to 'give' someone her eyesight! You have a gift, and I can't thank you enough for sharing that gift with me. Your personal attention made the experience exciting rather than frightening, and I never worried whether I had made the right choice. All this after seeing your ad in The Post-Standard…not bad, huh? I have since become the poster child for LASIK surgery, so I can spread this 'joy' with everyone I meet. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"I've suffered from dry eyes ever since I can remember. Years ago when the burning and itching were especially bothersome I visited an eye doctor and was told to use over-the-counter eye drops. The problem never really seemed to go away so I chalked it up to the "air" in my office. Recently I was reading a magazine article that included information on dry eyes. The article suggested calling an Ophthalmologist's office to inquire about 'eye plugs'. I made an appointment with Dr. Joy and was impressed with how quickly I got in. Dr. Joy tested my eyes and discovered I produced zero tears. After trying prescription eye drops and night ointments I was fitted with eye plugs. The procedure took a couple of seconds per eye and my eyes have never felt better! Now for the first time I'm able to wear contact lenses.

"I'd always wondered what it would be like to have blue eyes (mine are brown). Since I had an appointment with Dr. Joy for a complete eye exam I decided to have him fit me for contact lenses. I've been wearing the blue contact lenses for the last three weeks and they look and feel great! I frequently change my hair color and hairstyle…why not my eye color! I think I'll try green next!"

"I went to Dr. Joy for a full eye exam thinking that I needed a new prescription for my eyeglasses. I was surprised to learn I had a cataract in both eyes. Dr. Joy scheduled me for surgery and everything went very smoothly. I now see well enough to just use reading glasses. I was also impressed with his office and the woman who works in his office was very nice."

"I have high blood pressure so my family doctor suggested I see an Ophthalmologist for an eye exam. I made an appointment with Dr. Joy and got in the next day. He explained that high blood pressure is a risk factor for glaucoma. He used his new HRT machine to test my eyes and luckily everything checked out ok. He was a really nice guy and made me feel very comfortable. I'll definitely go back to him for my next exam.

"I have diabetes and need to get my eyes checked every six months to a year. I switched to Dr. Joy when he opened his office in Cicero because it's close to my home and office. I was very happy with the amount of time he spent with me and the thoroughness of my exam. He now has me as a satisfied patient!"

"Last month I injured my eye while doing yard work. Dr. Joy saw me immediately and was able to remove stick fragments from my eye. He made what could have been a nerve racking experience seem pretty easy. I would definitely recommend him to anyone."
