Many of our patients have shared their experiences at The Eye Center and with iLASIK. Below are some of the many wonderful testimonials we have received.
Everyone at the Eye Center in Leesburg, VA, was very helpful and caring. They will research your issue until they are sure they’ve done everything possible for you and your eyesight. I was very impressed with the whole office and the care that I received there.
The Eye Center was a breathe of fresh air for me. From the receptionist to Dr. Pearlman . You are cared for like family. You only get one pair of eyes in your lifetime; Dr. Pearlman and staff ensure that you receive exceptional care to make your eyes work to their full potential. I am so very grateful to be a patient of such an amazing practice.

“Hey, this is Roche from DC101 and I had Lasik surgery with Dr. B 6 years ago. My vision has never been better. I’m so happy I don’t have to deal with the hassle of glasses or contacts anymore. I liked the results so much that I sent my wife and my sister to Dr. B. They are equally happy with their results! I wouldn’t trust my eyes to anyone else.”
“My family and I have trusted Dr. Boutros and the talented doctors and staff at The Eye Center with our eye care needs since 1998. Six of my extended family had LASIK surgery, and all with the best results and no complications.
Dr. Boutros recently performed my cataract surgery. I had zero pain, no complications, and my vision is crystal clear. I knew I was in the very best hands, because decades earlier, he had performed cataract surgery for my father! We also trust The Eye Center for our annual eye exams. The doctors and assistants are professional and personable, they ask questions, and they listen. We highly recommend The Eye Center. Sharon S
“I had my Lasik surgery at the Fairfax office and cannot say enough good things about this office. Dr. Boutros and Dr. Phan are the best and the office staff is exceptional. Very professional and everyone seems to truly care. You are greeted the minute you walk into this office and just listening to Roxanne take phone calls, you know you will be taken care of. Thank you so much for giving me 20/20 vision at 55 years old and easing my fears. I just had my one year visit and I only wish I would have done this surgery sooner. Thank you to the doctors and staff at the Fairfax office.” Elizabeth A
“Before coming to Dr. Boutros, as he described it “my world ended at the tip of my nose”. My sight was so bad that when my daughter was a newborn I had to sleep with my glasses on just so I could see her in her bassinet. One day my glasses broke while I was in my car. Thank goodness I was parked. I had to feel around with my hands to find my glasses. After finding my glasses I decided that was it was time to get Lasik. My father works for Abbott Medical optics. I called him and said “Dad, I’ve had it, I need to get the surgery, who do you recommend?” My father said without hesitation, “Dr. Boutros”!
Dr. Boutros and his team were outstanding. Dr. Boutros told me that my sight may be a little blurry when he was finished with my surgery. (Which took literally minutes.) I could already see better than before. I remember looking at the ceiling above the operating table and noticing that there was a happy face which prior to the surgery, I couldn’t even see! Later that night after a nap, I was amazed to find that for the first time I could see my alarm clock without my glasses! I then proceeded to watch a movie with my family. The rest is history! I could be a national spokesperson for the iLASIK procedure and Dr. Boutros. It has been a little over a year since my surgery. I wish I would have had the procedure years ago. It is the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. My teenage daughter who wears glasses can’t wait until she’s old enough to have iLASIK. She’d have it now, but Dr. Boutros said not until she’s in her 20’s! When people ask who did my surgery and who I recommend, it is without hesitation that I say Dr. Boutros!” Stefani H

To The Eye Center,
This is to say thank you, thank you, thank you for answering my phone calls and the courtesy you gave me as I sought to know more about Lasik. My experience indeed exceeded my expectations. For me the procedure is a clear difference that I compare to dark and light. My vision improved almost immediately. The same day I had the procedure I could see so far that I cancelled my plans to have a driver take me to follow up appointment the next morning. I drove well and was so excited I thought to myself “I was blind but now I can see!” This for me is a new lease at life. Only I know what this new beginning really means to me.
When I told a few of my co-workers I would be having Lasik, some were skeptical and others fearful. Yet some were hopeful that as the “guinea pig”, I would be back with good eyesight so they could follow suit. As I write, two of my co-workers have made appointments to have a consultation.
To those doubting if the procedure works, take heart. My biggest fear was a possibility of losing my sight, but how I was mistaken! I am living proof that God has given the knowledge to the doctors to help improve our sight. They are not after your money. They do many tests, including the day of surgery, to ensure that you are indeed a good candidate for Lasik. If you are approved, go for it! You will be thanking the heavens for it! If you are not, the doctors will give you alternatives to consider. The team’s best interest is for you. They are attentive and will answer all questions to ensure you are satisfied and comfortable before the surgery. Best of all, it takes 15 minutes or less for both eyes! Can’t beat that!! – Esther Ewart
The following account is the expression of joy that I have written to a group of friends, and I would like to thank Dr. Boutros for his wizardly skill that gave me a new vision to enjoy all the beautiful sights on earth without glasses.
Waking up last Saturday, I saw a crystal clear sight of the soft morning beams of sunlight peeping through the window, casting silhouettes of dancing oak leaves on the wall. I got up from bed and looked out of the window. There, my good old friend waved at me with her long stretch of branch while showing off her new spring dress of young green leaves which turned almost translucent by the sunlight. It was the most beautiful sight in my adult life because I was not wearing glasses.
It’s a miracle performed by a skillful LASIK surgeon just fourteen hours prior. You wouldn’t believe that I went out for a ride in the country right afterward. I could see the thinnest layer of mist kissing the green meadow after a brief shower. NO GLASSES !!!
I’m not done yet. What I’m going to tell you will blow your mind berserk. I can see things near and far because my left eye was treated for me to see near, and my right eye, to see far. This is a new technique in LASIK surgery, called “mono vision”. For people in the 40’s age group, if both eyes are treated to see far, then you need reading glasses (old people’s glasses) to see near. On the contrary, if both eyes are treated to see near, then you need the kind of glasses for nearsightedness to see far. Therefore they fix one eye for close-up vision, and the other for distance. And I’m glad took this option.
I’m still not finished yet ! I went for a follow-up today. Guess what? Mission accomplished ! My left eye: 20/20. Right eye : 20/25. To add even more thrill, the doctor said “your vision will get better, sharper”. I asked myself “How better could it possibly get? Am I talking to a wizard or something?” – Jeri Cooper
Dear Dr. Boutros,
Thank you for the LASIK surgery that you performed on my eyes Saturday, April 21, 2001. The results that I am already achieving are incredible. After 35 years of wearing glasses and trying to wear contact lenses on numerous occasions, your skill, knowledge, and application of modern technology gave me a very special gift.
I have already had 3 colleagues ask for your name, phone number, and website. You and your staff will receive my highest regards and recommendation. I will never be able to thank you enough! – Barron Bradford
