Optometrists are the ones who work on recovery after the surgery performed from 24 hours post-operation and on. They also make recommendation to an ophthalmologist if surgery is needed.
"I was one of those people who used to wear glasses full-time myself," Stephen said. "After wearing them for 20 years, I don't have to anymore."
He now has about 80 patients he has followed up on after their surgery.

"I can't wait to meet people and show off our new location," said Liane.
