"As a police officer, perfect vision is both important to my job performance and my personal safety. I was always very protective of my eyesight and asked my father-in-law, a renowned physician working out of Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, to research Dr. Norden’s credentials. After doing so he stated, ‘He is one of the best around.’ The end result was I went from 20/400 vision to better than perfect 20/10 vision. I thank Dr. Norden every day for that."
