Dr Mark Lesher performed LASIK surgery on me. He came highly recommended. Two more of my family members have received LASIK surgery with Dr. Lesher. He's a wonderful doctor. He puts his his patients at ease.

Dr. Lesher was able to give me 20/20 vision via lasik back in 1999. I had seen numerous doctors in Ca and NM and they all told me they could correct my vision to what most people come in to correct their vision from. To this day I still don’t require corrective lenses. Dr. Lesher is truly gifted in his field. I plan to see him soon as I am now in my late 60’s and think I have a cataract. I will always trust and recommend Dr. Lesher. He is excellent!

He was kind and reassuring re cataract surgery on my left eye. A previous surgery with a surgeon in my hometown Las Cruces was aborted due to an allergic reaction. 10 days after Dr. Lesher's surgery which included a toric lens my astigmatism is gone and I am seeing more clearly than ever and can now drive without prescription glasses. My Las Cruces optometrist who I saw for the second post-op (the first was in Albuquerque the day after the operation) was very impressed with the results.

Dr. Lesher performed both of my cataract surgeries and another procedure before that. He always listened at appointments and treated me (not just my eyes) so well about that procedure. He explained all I needed to know about the 2 surgeries, which gave me such great vision. I recommend him to anyone needing cataract surgery.

I had my lasik surgery done as did my husband 20 years ago by Dr. Lescher. He did such an amazing job that ophthalmologists that I have seen since are always in awe and ask me who did my lasik. I live in Philly and many of them know of him by reputation. He consulted with me and took my concerns into consideration, and because I was 40 and my husband 38, left one eye slighty nearsighted for both of us, to delay the time when we would need reading glasses. 20 years later, we finally have to use them, long after our peers have had to. I cannot imagine why anyone would complain about the procedure, the cost, or the doctor. What is your eyesight worth to you?

Dr. Lescher was extremely patient and knowledgable. My experience in his office was plesant and enjoyable. The staff was very informative about the procedure and follow up visits were a breeze. I continue to make annual appts with Dr. Lescher, even tho I have moved from Albuquerque. He's worth the drive! I highly recommend him!
