I have seen Dr. Ball for about five years now for my glaucoma. It was a surprise to me when my…read moreoptometrist said my eye pressures were twice normal and I needed to see an eye surgeon ASAP. I read about Dr. Ball online, and from what I can tell, he is known as one of the top glaucoma surgeons and specialists in the country! He has performed three successful laser surgeries on my eyes. I find him to be a serious but very personable doctor who is willing to explain anything to me, and he has a sense of humor. He is busy, but he does what he needs to do and then is off to the next patient. One thing about how they run things at Des Moines Eye Surgeons where is he, (and also I know Wolfe Clinic also), is that you will be shuttled from one waiting room to the next until you actually see the doctor. It is well run, with plenty of nurses and medical assistants, but it can be an hour or an hour and a half before you are out of there. With Covid-19 now, the five or so doctors on staff there alternate days they come in, so the large main and the other waiting rooms are not packed as they are when all the doctors are in. Today, in all the large waiting rooms I was in, there were at most four people - well spread out. My only complaint was that one guy wore his mask under his nose. I just stayed about 20 feet away from him. As for Dr. Ball again, I give him top marks for his abilities, personality and communication skills, compared to many other doctors I have seen over the past 15-20 years especially. All of the staff are very good and friendly, which helps also.

With my license renewal coming up and being in the 50+ class... It was time. Making the appointment online was smooth as butter. I got in early and each of the staff members I worked with was fantastic. I was in and out in what seemed like no time. The longest part of the visit was waiting for the eye drops to do their thing and for my eyes to dilate. Can't say enough good things about how this last visit went... The only bad thing. It's time for bifocals. But that's on God and me...not on them. I really appreciate the time and patience of everyone I worked with while I was there. A really great group!

They confirmed during the follow up that a strand of "something" fell into my eye during surgery & that the surgeon had re-adhered my cornea back on over it without checking to remove it first & was causing some inflammation. In order to remove it they'd have to reopen my cornea to wipe/flush it out. They told me they could not get me in to get it out for at least 2 weeks post op even though they got me in for surgery (aka to take my money) only 3 days after the initial consult. I called 1 week post op to see if I could get in earlier because I could feel something in my eye every minute of the day on top of a thick red blood stripe on that eye that was not clearing up at all whereas the redness was completely gone from the other eye. Their response: "try refrigerating the eye drops instead." Finally at the post op appt to get it out, the surgeon was unaware I was there to get it removed. They then made me pay for the additional antibiotic eye drops needed when they gave them to me for free the first time. They claimed the red stripe on the eye was not related but coincidentally began to clear up almost immediately. To remediate the situation, they offered me a free T-shirt
