    Dr Christiansen was very thorough and I appreciate him trying to help me see more clearly with my glasses. Macular damage is the problem. The lighted magnifier will help.

    I was treated by Dr. Christiansen as I usually am. He is so caring and such a competent physician who knows my history and needs. He gave me useful information to help me cope with my AMD. I loved my visit. He is such an asset to the Muran Eye Center. Thank you so much.

    He was sooo good. He was so kind. He used his entire experiences as a doctor, to help. He was not stuck at a computer! He actually looked at me instead of a computer screen. He knew so much more than some program bought for diagnosisHe used his mind and hands to make an eye prescription that worked. I went throughso many eye ophthalmologists that said there was nothing they could do for me. So many thanks Dr. Christiansen. I can't thank you enough! I can see again!
