Dr Kertes is the kind of eye guru who makes you feel like your vision just got a standing ovation from the universe. I came in squinting at life like it was a blurry watercolor painted by a sleep-deprived raccoon, and he brought the kind of clarity that made me want to rewatch sunsets and street signs. He’s got this calm, laser-sharp vibe and explains things like he’s giving your retinas a TED Talk. Left his clinic feeling like I’d just been handed a VIP pass to the visible spectrum.
