5 stars -- Dr. Reddy, Apex Eye
I had Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) cataract surgery with Dr. Reddy and couldn't be happier with the experience and results. My case wasn't straightforward -- I had posterior vitreous detachment in both eyes and significant dry eye, both of which complicated the adjustment measurements and stretched out my timeline. Despite that, Dr. Reddy guided me through it with real skill and patience.
The LAL process itself is involved: surgery on each eye two weeks apart, then a series of adjustments and waiting periods, followed by two lock-in procedures per eye, all while wearing special UV-protective glasses until everything is finalized. In my case, that took over four months of wearing those glasses. It's as much art as science, and one thing I especially appreciated is that Dr. Reddy personally performs every step -- the surgery, every adjustment, and both lock-ins -- so there's real continuity of care instead of being handed off between providers.
The surgeries themselves were painless, and I later needed YAG capsulotomies on both eyes, which he also handled without issue.
My results: 20/20-1 with J1+ near vision in my right (near-focused) eye, and 20/15 with J2 in my left (distance) eye, essentially no correction needed in either. Even at reduced contrast I'm testing at J3. For the first time in years I can do close-up tasks without glasses -- manicures, makeup, sewing, reading -- which has made a real difference in daily life. Night glare is still present, though it may be gradually improving -- hard to say for certain this soon after finishing.
The office is modern, clean, and easy to get to, and the staff were consistently excellent -- knowledgeable, well-trained, and genuinely caring at every visit. Wait times were short throughout, aside from the expected wait for dilation.
If you're considering LAL and want a surgeon who sees the process through personally from start to finish, and who is skilled in handling complications along the way, I'd highly recommend Dr. Reddy and the team at Apex Eye. read more
