Patient Testimonials

Visual health is so important to our wellbeing.

We understand this well at Clemson Eye and bring the best in technology, training and patient care to ensure superior visual outcomes for our patients.

For our eye doctors and professional staff, there is little more gratifying than the fantastic feedback we receive from our eye care patients. Below are a few examples.

LASIK Testimonials

Morgan Fields, PA-C

As a Pediatric Physician’s Assistant, glasses continued to get in the way of her work.


After having gone through with LASIK, Morgan feels that her job as a Physician’s Assistant is much easier and so much more fun interacting with the children!

“Seeing the leaves on the trees and the clouds in the sky I feel like really changed my perspective on the world, and the beauty that we get to see every day.”

Jeff Spears, Worship Pastor

Jeff could not function without the help of glasses or contacts. LASIK was something he had always considered at some point, but he was unsure of the process.

“The more I found out about LASIK and the reputation at Clemson Eye with success stories made me realize that this could actually be a possibility.”

“Thinking back to life before LASIK, I’m very thankful I don’t have to deal with that now, and I never want to go back!”

Jordan Carlson, OD

Our very own Dr. Jordan Carlson explains how LASIK helped change his life both personally and professionally.

His everyday occupation consists of all things optics – lenses, lights, and reflections. Eliminating the factor of glasses and contacts made it a lot easier for him not to have to worry about his own sight and how it factors into his career as an optometrist.

“I truly do feel like I can better serve my patients now that I have better vision.”

Kendall Estes, Medical Esthetician

As a Medical Esthetician, it is essential for Kendall to see very small things, from extracting pores to treating vascular lesions. Glasses and contacts were an ongoing issue preventing Kendall from best serving her patients on a day-to-day basis.

LASIK with Clemson Eye was a life-changing experience for Kendall, and one that she says she will never forget.

“I can truly see and enjoy the environment around me in a way that I couldn’t before LASIK. Pretty much anyone you talk to who’s done it, their only regret is why they didn’t do it sooner!”

Savannah, Dog Breeder

Contacts made Savannah’s eyes tired, which made her job as a dog breeder difficult. She was constantly having to stop and switch to her glasses to give her eyes rest.

After pondering on LASIK for almost 15 years, she decided it was time to have surgery with Clemson Eye.

“It was really important to me to get the personal and relatable element ahead of time…Dr. Riddle treated me like an individual person, and not just a number, which I thought was really special.”

Madison Webb, Undergraduate Student

The busyness of Madison’s day-to-day life distracted her from realizing that her sight needed attention. Not having worn glasses her whole life, she had to get used to that new routine.

“I didn’t really ever feel like myself in glasses, because I had never known a life with them.”

She soon realized LASIK was an option for her and never looked back.

“It’s so much better being able to enjoy life and the beauty of everything around you.”

Clemson Eye is a great facility, but the wait time was not good. I had a 10:00 am appointment and waited 40 minutes to be called back to the second waiting room. The whole appointment took 1 hour and 40 minutes. Much too long for a routine eye exam. Fortunately I did not have anything booked that conflicted with this long wait. Dr. Sam Garrett is great and very caring. I would highly recommend him.

My family and I had an amazing experience at Clemson Eye. First whenever going to a Doctors office I expect to wait a little, the wait time was what we accepted. The young lady that took me back was very friendly and warm. Dr. Surratt was awesome! Very approachable, friendly, and knowledgeable. Optical, had great frames to choose from and the ladies in there were extremely helpful and walked me through my first progressive. Love my new glasses, so many complements, after about 3 days I was used to using my new lenses (just what they told me). Thank you Clemson Eye I will be telling all my friends and family to come and visit!

Dr. Riddle performed a dmek and cataract removal for my wife. Not even a week later she is seeing better than ever! We were a little worried after the surgery but dr riddle met with us later that evening to ensure everything was ok the night before thanksgiving, and to my surprise he was very friendly and helpful even though it was an inconvenient time for everyone. He has gone above and beyond our expectations. If you see this man, he knows what hes doing and he actually cares. My only wish is that other medical professionals would take notes from this guy! I would Highly recommend Dr Riddle if your looking for an ophthalmologist or cornea specialist or eye surgeon of any kind.
