    Do most doctors try Restasis for dry eyes before doing surgery?

    Probably not, Restasis generally takes a month or two to take affect and most eyelid surgery I’ve done well does not affect the ocular surface severely.

    Dr Bala recently did my wife's LASIK surgery, and was thoughtful, professional, and personable…read moreevery step of the way. My wife's outcome was fantastic. She wonders why we didn't do this years ago. No more glasses or contacts and great vision all the time! We are physicians ourselves and can appreciate what a huge "value add" a well-done LASIK surgery can be for a patient's life! Thanks Dr. Bala!

    Some unknown debris flew into my left eye during a late-night bicycle ride. I blinked it away as…read morebest I could and continued my bike ride, not thinking much of it. When I got home, I flushed the eye out with water, thinking that would take care of the remaining irritation. Wrong. I'd never experienced this kind of eye discomfort before - and it wasn't going away. I went to bed, but didn't get one iota of sleep -- the eye was just a bit too uncomfortable. Early the next morning, I was unsure how to proceed. It was Sunday, so no eye clinics were open. Did this warrant a visit to the E.R.? I wasn't sure. Finally, I called Colvard Eye Center and they said they could put me in touch with the on-call doctor. I said OK, and soon heard the slightly sleepy-sounding voice of Dr. Bala. I hadn't ever talked to her before, and now I'd introduced myself by waking her up because my anxiety kept me from realizing I should wait a couple of hours. I wouldn't blame her for being grouchy for such an early call -- but she wasn't. I told Dr. Bala my situation, and she was wonderful about the whole thing. She told me I didn't need the E.R., set my mind at ease, gave me some recommendations as to how to get by for the day, then said to call in first thing the next morning, and that she'd try to see me. The rest of the process unfolded nicely under her caring guidance. A few days later, she looked into my eye and said "much better!", giving me permission to drop my prescription eye drops. I'm so grateful for Dr. Bala's caring, professional, and spot-on approach & treatment. I look forward to her being my primary ophthalmologist for the foreseeable future. Thank you, Dr. Bala! :)

The equipment in the examination room was state of the art and extremely clean. I was extremely impressed with their use of latest technology, including a VR headset for the peripheral vision test. Most of all, I was appreciative of how much time Dr. Hashemi personally committed to providing me with valuable advice and answering all my questions. Her assistant, Natasha, was also very courteous, helpful, and professional. I want to express my very sincere gratitude and love for the flawless care that I received. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    My experience with Dr Hashemi was terrible. I went in for a cataract surgery but she did not finish…read moreand left me with a botched/uncomplete surgery with no real explanation. The only thing that was told to me was that she couldn't complete the surgery, that she was no longer my doctor, and I had to go to another surgeon for it to be complete. From this original, unnecessary cataract surgery I had to have 3 different surgeries on the same eye. From October 20, 2025 until February 9, 2026 I suffered something unbelievable because of the lack of care and direction from Dr Hashemi and her office. 1 star because I cannot give 0 stars
