Frequently Asked Questions
At Tennessee Valley Laser Center we recommend that you plan to be off work for at least one day following laser vision surgery. Although, it is not uncommon for patients to resume their normal work activity the very next day, your eyes will be light sensitive for the first 24 to 48 hours after surgery.

- ~ Apryl Sweat, Medical Field
"I had surgery in 2008. I began having difficulty with my vision when I was in 2nd grade. I was 35 years old when I finally made the decision to have the LASIK procedure. I work in an industry that restores hearing through a surgical procedure, but was always very uncertain about having surgery myself to improve my own vision. I could not be happier with the decision I made. I travel quite a often with my job and had difficulty even with corrective lenses seeing road signs, particularly at night. I struggled with reading menus on the wall in cafes and wore my contact lenses to sleep in for safety reasons....I really could not see at all without them. I was to the point where my eyes were beginning to become unhealthy because of the way I abused my contact lenses. If I had to do it all over, I would have the surgery again though I would not have waited so long. Dr. Bodenheimer and his staff are excellent! They talked me through the procedure and helped me remain calm. Dr. Bodenheimer asked to pray wtih me prior to the procedure as well. I was immediately at ease. I would highly recommend this facility as well as this procedure." - Read more testimonials »
