Easy to see why the Eye Center has the absolute best eye…read moredoctors and professional staff in Eugene and Lane County. I have been a loyal patient of Dr. Hanes and Dr. Walker for years. They have done magic for me and for the friends I have pointed to their care. I am always impressed how well they take care of there patients, even the cranky ones. Recently I had a sudden serious and dangerous vision event. I called the Eye Center on a Friday afternoon. When I explained my symptoms to the wonderful receptionist she quickly spoke to Dr. Walker who had me come in immediately. When I arrived I felt like royalty. The entire staff came to my assistance quickly as a fine tuned team addressing my problem, getting me on the road to quick recovery. The doctors and every staff member saved and greatly improved my eyesight that late Friday afternoon. I will be eternally grateful for the compassion, expertise and professionalism that would be near to impossible to be found elsewhere. Today I can see. Thank you Eye Center.

When I developed cataract issues I began a love affair with The Eye Center, Dr. Haines, his amazing partners and his wonderful staff. Every appointment, every procedure was smooth , successful and easy for me to understand before and celebrate after the processes were done. Eugene, Oregon is fortunate to have such superb care facilities . Now at 95 I am enjoying the most beautiful world, full of color and detail . I can read to my heart's content. I can thread a small needle! All this as I enjoy my 95th year. Thank you Dr. Haines and your top notch Eye Center. Truly, unsurpassed treatment and personal care.

YELP Review I have problem with eye inflammation. Dr…read more Beardsly was training for eye deseases at OHSU. I met him there while he was finishing training with top specialist, Dr. Rosenbaum. Later I was finally able to find outside care for my situation, however, Portland or California was the only places I could find treatment. Dr. Beardsly had setup his office in Eugene and has extended offices and his services to satellites offices nearer to Grants Pass. I feel like I get just what I need. The service is good and yet the office is busy. I needed additional special care for one thing and they were helpful getting me to where I needed to go for treatment.

Updating to 2 stars from 1 following finally receiving a call concerning these issues; also adding…read morefull name of doctor because apparently Dr. Peter Karth rents space from Dr. John Karth. While initially impressed by Dr. Peter Karth's team, my visit was marred by multiple unprofessional experiences. The biggest issue stemmed from not being informed in advance that my eyes might be dilated. I drove myself to the appointment only to find out they would be. This left me with having to choose between calling my husband for a ride and leaving our car downtown overnight or attempting to drive myself home with watery, blurry, eyes, facing the bright afternoon sun. This is a choice I shouldn't have had to make. When I brought it up to Dr. Karth, he dismissed my concerns, telling me he 'drives with dilated eyes all the time', and when I brought it up with his scheduler at checkout, she said "oh, my bad" and offered me their wraparound sunglasses as the (apparently obvious) solution. Using my own Transitions lenses, I got home, but it was a scary drive and was one I shouldn't have had to make - or choose to make. The lack of responsibility for that is appalling at best and dangerous at worst. In addition, I watched several people come in and out of my treatment room which apparently doubled as a storage closet without saying a word to me. I wasn't expecting conversation, but a simple 'excuse me' would have gone a long way to feeling seen. Finally, I watched three women (including Dr. Karth's scheduler) make fun of a confused older gentleman who was trying to figure out where his next appointment was going to be. He wasn't being rude, just confused, and after giving him the ultimatum of 'Salem or Garden Way', he took Garden Way and left. They proceeded to giggle and snicker about him a full minute (at least) before acknowledging me waiting for checkout. Yes, public-facing jobs can be stressful but acting that way in front of another patient? Really? In the hopes that I had just hit them on a bad day, I typed up my experience, e-mailed it, and dropped off a copy the next day. I haven't heard a word back which tells me that this behavior is not only normal but fully acceptable to Dr. Karth. I hope this review finds its way into all the glowing ones so maybe someone else doesn't have to make the choice I did.

After reading the other reviews, my suspicion was confirmed. Over the past ten years of going to…read moreDr. Ofner, I have noticed a decline in accessibility and general care. My daughter and I will be looking for care elsewhere. Her glasses all this sudden needed prisms and made her sick. Mine was not a good prescription and left words blurry.

I don't normally leave such low ratings; however, I feel compelled to make sure people are aware of…read morethe risks of possible subpar care if they use the services of Dr. Ofner and Dr. Fleming--I mention Dr. Fleming as in recent years, Dr. Ofner has been transferring more of his patients to Dr. Fleming. This has proven disastrous for some senior citizen patients, including my mother who ended up with a botched glaucoma surgery in one eye, and another senior citizen who had been through two glaucoma surgeries with Dr. Fleming--who completely neglected to tell her that she had wet macular degeneration. (By the time this woman moved to a different doctor, that new doctor had the unfortunate task of breaking the news to her that she had advanced wet macular degeneration, something that Drs. Ofner and Fleming declined to tell her.) Both doctors seem overly interested in surgeries, and it's been my personal experience that anything unrelated to surgery or eye glasses is effectively not of any interest. In my case, I have profound dry eye, and when I finally went in to Dr. Ofner seeking some relief for this, I was using $150+ per month for over the counter drops, and was desperate for a solution. They did no meaningful diagnosis or analysis and simply told me to keep using those eye drops and put a warm wet washcloth over my eyes in the morning. In passing conversations with other friends, I discovered that there actually is a treatment for dry eye, but apparently Dr. Ofner didn't want to be bothered. Instead I went to see Dr. Dunks at Family Vision Center and she did a full examination, including an analysis that would help identify exactly how long it took for my tears to evaporate--as it turned out, the second I blinked and opened my eyes, my tears would evaporate. It was no wonder my eyes felt so horrible--but the fact that Dr. Ofner's office made no attempt to diagnose any portion of what was going wrong was simply baffling. She laid out several different options, and because I am a big scaredy cat, I didn't want to go with ductal plugs (which I hear work amazingly well). Instead I use a prescription eye drop called Restasis; this is not a cheap medication (the insurance copay is quite high), but it absolutely changed my life. Dr. Dunks had laid out some other progressively more "intense" possible treatments, including networking with a doctor in Portland regarding a special "eyelid massage" machine that can help with dry eye. The fact that she put time into diagnosis and too my discomfort seriously enough to do additional research was a night and day difference in my experience with Dr. Ofner's practice. For your own benefit, I would avoid Dr. Ofner's practice. If you have any loved ones who are senior citizens who are already seeing Dr. Ofner or Dr. Fleming, I would get them out of there as quickly as you can, and connect them to another doctor right away.
