I had cataract surgery Aug of 2024 . I was starting to notice it was hard to read signs from a…read moredistance when driving and my eye doctor recommended cataract surgery. I did not need glasses before surgery. St Lukes told me I had to choose if I wanted to see for distance or for reading. People I knew in the past who had cataract surgery said they never needed glasses again so I was confused by this. St Lukes said if I paid approx. $4000 an eye it would cover both distance and reading but my insurance only paid for one or the other. I opted for distance due to eye doctor and doctor at St Lukes saying I needed this done or I may shortly be unable to see good enough to drive. After I had surgery done I had to get glasses to read. I had itching and discomfort with eyes after surgery which I never had before and was told to keep using eye drops for dryness. Since then and up to today, I have spots before my eyes, "rings" which obstruct my vision and constant watering, itching and eye discomfort. I am so sorry I did NOT refuse to have surgery or maybe at least only had one eye done. I still hear other say how great their surgery was that was done at another company and wish I could go back and checked out other places. This has been very hard to type even with my glasses on due to the "rings" and spots. I DO NOT recommend this facility as all they seem to care about is money. As cataract surgery can not be done again, I know this is my life from now on and it is very depressing.

I've been to optometrists for years, their main function is to examine your eyes and write a new prescription to be filled in their same office. It's refreshing to go to a Eye Doctor and not be pressured into getting new glasses and or frames. I've been to Dr. Smith going on two years now and he writes out a new prescription and says just hold onto this in case you need it, if something happens to your current glasses. So being a diabetic, it is highly recommended that you have your eyes checked at least once a year. Lucky for me everything is fine with my eyes no glaucoma, cataracts, and no sign of any macula degeneration. I have the utmost trust in Dr Smith and his whole staff. Dr. Smith is a pleasant, soft-spoken man, with a nice demeanor. His staff are both professional and thorough. I highly recommend Dr. Smith and his office.

I was later told this is a new location for them but still, everything looked brand new and unused. The very friendly receptionist told me that since I have a Medicare Advantage plan, it was best to make 2 appointments as one thing I needed was covered with Advantage Vision Insurance and another basic Medicare. The rules state they can't bill for both in one visit. No one has ever mentioned that before and it saved me $. After about a 2 minute wait, a tech came and got me. Started with the basic eye exam. Much more thorough than any I have had before. Techs did all the work then had me wait for the optometrist who went over everything, checked it and answered all my questions. I saw Dr. Liffland who came across as a bit of an ice queen but was amazingly patient, smart and informative. She took time to pull out of me any questions I might have. Then it was back to make another appointment for a about 2 weeks in the future. That was for a macular degeneration scan. Again, 2 minute wait before being checked out by several techs then taken into an office to see Dr. Liffland. Again, amazingly informative. I was first diagnosed with age related macular degeneration a least a decade ago so this was not my first rodeo with the procedure. Again, this time was more in depth and comprehensive than I have ever had before. Again, Dr. Liffland patiently pried me for questions or concerns and was truly informative and reassuring. I've been in Clearwater 10 years now and tried a few different places looking for the right one for vision care and now I have found it.

I've gone to many other places, but Dr Todd was the only one that got me the perfect contact lenses match. I've mentioned the discomfits I've had with other brand to other optometrist locations with no avail to having the right fit of contacts so I've had to wear glasses most of my life. One day I decided to switch over to Shettle vision with recommendation from my sister. My first visit I told doc what discomforts I've had with contacts and would like to have contact so can do activities without the worries of my glasses flying off my face. Doc Todd suggested a brand I try out. Let me tell you, it only took one visit for me to get the right contacts without any discomfort. This is why I've been going to Shettle Vision for years. I've even suggested my work colleagues to go to him.

We asked to allow my grandfather to remain in his wheelchair for the exam because transferring is very hard for him, and it's so exhausting that he can only do it so much. She chuckled and said, "Well then how did you get him in the car and get him here?" I was pretty surprised at some of the rude personalities that we dealt with, talking to my grandfather like a child. I continue to be shocked at the way some providers in this area treat the elderly.
