"With luck, we come across people in our lives who truly have an impact - those who can help us achieve our potential consistently, a real partner. I first began asking unreasonable things of Eric over fourteen years ago. Thousands of patients later, I still trust him. Think about how hard it is to earn that kind of trust. It is only earned through repeatable outstanding outcomes. I have no doubt that Eric is completely unaware of how many of my patients he has helped over the years; how many lives he has helped change. Thank you, Eric. Your work with Visionary Optics is appreciated more than you know."
