I originally came in for a LASIK consultation, and from that very first appointment, Dr. Shamie and her team were incredible. Thoughtful, thorough, and extremely patient. It turned out I wasn't a great candidate for LASIK due to dryness, and I really appreciated how intentional Dr. Shamie was in prioritizing the long-term health of my eyes rather than pushing me toward a procedure that might not be the best fit. She introduced me to EVO ICL as an alternative, and took the time to walk me through everything, the differences, the benefits, and what to realistically expect. I felt completely informed and confident in my decision because of her expertise and how clearly she explained every step. On the day of the procedure, I felt at ease from the moment I walked into the surgery center. The entire process was seamless, quick, and incredibly well-run. Dr. Shamie was with me every step of the way, which made such a difference. What's still amazing to me is that I could see clearly the same day. After wearing glasses for most of my life, it felt surreal. Now, one month later, my vision is great and everything has been smooth. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Shamie and her team. The entire experience, from consultation to procedure to follow-up, was exceptional.

At the age of 46 years old, I unfortunately got hit with congenital cataracts in my left eye. I was suppose to go to Kaiser and just do it with my insurance. But just like most places there was no personal comfort and care like a place like the Vision Institute. After much research and second opinion after 3rd or more I made a visit to this place months ago. Right away I was seen, cared for like no other. The first lady I dealt with asked me so many valuable questions, and assured my presence there was important as it should be. I felt safe and comfortable right away. I met Dr. Hura for the first time that day and I was relieved to know he also was extremely helpful and amazing to answer my questions and share the right information to make me feel at home. The 2nd visit was to dilatate, do measurements, and get me ready for a possible surgery. That day was even better, being cared for and treated like a human being would want felt great. My worries of eye vision lost or any other things was going down. The Surgery Day at Specialty Surgical Center was even better, the Nurses, the Anesthesia specialist, the O.R. Nurse, Surgical tech, and the Recovery Nurse were all patient with me, and made me feel at home again. Made me feel safe and communicated with me always. Surgery was completed and I did not feel any pain or discomfort. Just a little anxiety on my end. Went home rested, for the first 2 days I stayed home and just relaxed and could tell my vision get better every day. Eye drops, and just rest made it hard to do as an active person I am. But day 3 I went back to work with ease and now after about a week and a half. My vision is on the last 3rd base with a homerun in the horizon! My vision is much more clearer then ever, day by day it's only gotten better! I am so extremely happy and after being overwhelmed with what could happen or what can I can't do. It's safe to say that I'm glad I made the right decision and even if I had to pay out of pocket. The price is worth it! You can't put a price on the Best Quality, and most importantly our own health! OUR EYES! I'm looking forward to the next 2 and half weeks and complete my 30 days after surgery to be ready to tackle life again. I surely will decide to do the right eye next in the coming months. SUPER THANK YOU TO DR. HURA! The Staff of the Vision Institute for always answering my calls with sincerity and care. Thank you to the awesome people at the Specialty Surgical Center for caring and being comforting before, during and after my surgery! You are all God Send and I'm forever grateful for this experience! Much Love and Take Care Always! -Rommel / Small Paws Cremations

Recently, I experienced sudden, intense eye pain in both eyes. I was scared, but his calming demeanor quickly steadied me. He was extremely responsive, thorough, and kind. Dr. Sand's experience as a cornea specialist also showed, as he pointed out various things that my other ophthalmologist had failed to mention, including lifestyle changes and other considerations. He also took the time to follow up with me several times. I felt strongly that he cared about my wellbeing and that I was in very good hands. He is also very personable. I highly recommend him.

My fiancé researched and interviewed 12 other surgeons before he found, and fell in love with Dr. Sand. We knew that we couldn't afford to take any risks when it came to my eye sight and needed to feel like we weren't just another number. Dr. Sand ensured me upon first meet that he treats his patients like family, and that he has. The surgery itself was quick and painless (to me at least) and I was given thorough after care instructions. After surgery he called almost daily to check on my progress and ensure there were no developing complications. I received great news that I had healed almost a week ahead of the curve when it came to the progress of my vision! I was so relieved! Even after I had a freak accident and injured my eye about a month later, he answered my call on a Sunday and met me in his office just an hour later! I can honestly say I have never received the care and 5 star treatment I have experienced, and continue to experience, that Dr. Sand provides. I would recommend any family member to Sand Pacific Eye Group, for I have no doubt that they would receive the best, possible treatment out there. I cannot thank them enough for changing my life and blessing me with the gift of sight! If I could give 10 stars I would!

I was apprehensive about doing the surgery so I did many hours of research and had consultations with other highly reputable surgeons. But I found that none of them came close to Dr. Devgan in terms in knowledge and experience. After all, he is The Cataract Coach and has performed over 40,000 surgeries, including many for other ophthalmologists. Plus he spent a great deal of time during my consultation reviewing my images taken in his office, discussing lens options, explaining the surgery process, and patiently answering my many questions. Dr. Devgan loves what he does and his passion is evident when you meet with him. Additionally, everyone on his staff is very pleasant and professional. And Dr. Devgan gives his patients his email and cell number so we can contact him with any questions. I texted him on three occasions and he responded immediately! And in each case, he gave me very thorough answers to my questions. It was very comforting to know that he was always just a text away. I don't know of any other doctor who is so available to their patients. Dr Devgan recommended the Alcon Vivity in both eyes for me and my surgeries went well with no issues. They were both quick and painless and everything went smoothly at the Surgical Center. He came over and talked to me before I went into the operating room which I appreciated. I am very happy with the results. I requested the focus be set at near/intermediate, and I was OK wearing glasses for distance. I use a mild reader for fine print, my intermediate is perfect, and my distance is better than I expected. I can drive in the daytime without glasses, so I just I need them for driving at night. And there is very minimal halos and glare at night; much less than before surgery. I feel very fortunate to have had Dr. Devgan as my surgeon. I will not hesitate to recommend him to my friends and family because I know they will be in excellent and very skilled hands!

As a health professional with over 45 years of experience -- including serving as a Director of Nursing -- I felt completely respected and never pressured.

He made it clear that I controlled the timeline, whether I wanted to wait or move forward, and he explained every option thoroughly without a hint of upselling. Both of my cataract surgeries went perfectly, and I can see beautifully now. His staff and the team at the surgery center were warm, professional, and clearly held him in high regard. I'm deeply grateful for the care I received.

Almost all of them said no, or if they did do epi on, they would not tell me how much it cost without a consultation. Even though I already knew and had progressed KC. I called so many offices from LA to SD. Other practices where cheaper but one "Dr" actually had a criminal background. Some other places were even more expensive, and FYI no medical insurance covers epi on because it's not FDA approved. I don't think they cover epi off either, unless you are showing progression, which means your eye sight will get even worse before they consider paying for your treatment. Though epi on has less success rate, it was my decision to pursue it for the less aggressive procedure. I was not going to do epi off by any means, and I didn't have insurance either way. I ultimately decided to move forward with Dr Brian because of his extensive medical research and background so I felt comfortable with his expertise. He was also practically the only one who does do epi on, he does not do epi off. It was easy to book and apt and they disclosed the price when I called. So there was always transparency and no one pressured me to move forward, they explained the benefits of the procedure (Holcomb CR3) and how it would stop the progression. I went in for a consultation and exams and moved forward with his procedure. Of course with medicine, there is no 100% guarantee, however after getting my procedure Nov 2025, I went to Dr Brian and another office April 2026 to get my cornea measured, and it seems like my KC has stabilized. According to both measurements from the 2 different locations, the KC isn't progressing. Hopefully it stays like this forever! Received excellent customer service from Manual, Jon, Carlos, and of course Dr Brian. Really happy with my decision but it was a mission to find Dr Brian. Really appreciative of his team.

She looks further and get this--There's no record that I even did the procedure. Fast forward, I had yet another appointment in addition to the one in this updated review where they told me I need to do Lasik because my vision just isn't as clear as they'd like to see it, but their systems were down and they promised to call me immediately to schedule. That was over two weeks ago, I called once left a message and no one has called me back.
