Jennifer Broome

In January 2005, 4 Warn Storm Team Chief Meteorologist Jennifer Broome had the Intralase LASIK procedure using both the new Allegretto Wave laser and the Intralase technology. WOAI News channel 4 was very interested in reporting on this advanced technology and also in documenting Jennifer Broome's experience! In February 05 WOAI TV ran a very informative story that you can view here.


One Patient wrote her a nice letter about her experience:

Dear Jennifer Broome,
Thank you for being such a wonderful weather reporter. Of the major TV stations here in town, I always tune in to WOAI for news and weather. You're weather reports seem to be the most accurate in town!

The real reason I'm writing you is due to the broadcast on your eye surgery. I too had the Intralase Lasik done. Dr. Rashid performed my surgery back in January 05. It's one of the best decisions I've ever made. Having worn glasses/contacts since I was 9 years old (I'm 38 now), I too was a bit overwhelmed after the surgery. It's been a month since my surgery and I'm still in awe of the fact that I can see without my glasses. Before the surgery I was 20/400 and now Im 20/20!

It was because of WOAI.COM the Ask the Expert on LASIK that I found Dr. Rashid. I spent 2 months researching the entire procedure, the lasers and the Doctors in San Antonio. Day after day I returned to WOAI and Dr. Rashid's website I learned he has the latest laser technology and coupled with his experience and background, I knew Dr. Rashid would be the right doctor for me.

It's great to hear that someone else had as good as an experience with this surgery. It was also quite interesting that you had done a story on it. Great job! You captured the entire experience beautifully. What I found interesting was that I had almost the same experience as you described and I made some of the same comments. I also could not read the big E on the eye chart!

I think you are all great at WOAI and the best news station in town! Thank you and keep up the tremendous job you do to keep us informed of the ever-changing news and weather!
