A CustomVue of the World
Justin Purdom has a new way of looking at things, thanks to Dr. Houman Ahdieh and
CustomVue LASIK surgery. Justin works for the Atlantic City Municipal Utilities Authority,
and he has a degree in Environmental Science from Richard Stockton College in New Jersey.
Justin has been wearing glasses since he was seven years old, and contacts since he was
thirteen.
“As a scientist, the quality of my vision is very important to me. Given the nature of my work, I have to be very precise. After a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Ahdieh and his LASIK team, I felt confident moving forward with this procedure.”

LASIK also offered the active 24-year old the
freedom to further enjoy outdoor sports, which
include surfing, skiing, hiking, and sailing.
“Contacts lenses limited my ability to see clearly
when I was doing water sports. As a scientist, I was
also concerned about the possibility of a water-borne
infection while wearing my contacts in the ocean.”
“It's amazing,” Justin continues, “every time I open my eyes in the morning, I can't believe I can see the numbers on the clock. My LASIK procedure took less than 20 minutes, and it has changed my life! I am seeing things that I haven't seen before.”
Justin chose to work with Dr. Ahdieh because
of the doctor’s experience as a corneal surgeon.
Dr. Ahdieh has been practicing in the Lehigh Valley
since 1995. “Dr. Ahdieh and his team prepared me
well for the procedure. They were patient and caring,
and answered all of my questions.”
Dr. Ahdieh prefers the Custom-Vue LASIK process because it offers a tailored approach to vision correction. With CustomVue, Dr. Ahdieh can treat patients who have a wide-range of vision issues, including those with irregular astigmatism. Prior to surgery, LASIK patients are seen in our office for a series of measurements that give our surgeons the data they need to customize the procedure to meet each patient's vision needs.

A Rescue Mission...
The little black kitten found at our Allentown office on October 5th by staff members Jamie & Susan will be ready for adoption at the end of October. Jamie & Susan found the hungry and scared kitten when they were leaving the office on Friday, October 5th, and are continuing their efforts to find a good home for "little Nevus".
If you would like to bring a little love into your life, call the Lehigh County Humane Society and ask to see him/her (not really sure which one!). The reference number on this 3-month old is #81610.
Once an animal is brought into the Humane Society, they are treated for fleas and are not available for adoption until they have been observed for illness for three weeks. Our little guy/gal has passed the test...and is ready for a forever home! The Humane Society is at 640 Dickson Street in Allentown, phone number 610-797-1205. http://www.thelehighcountyhumanesociety.org/
