Top quality eye care and state of the art equipment at VEI by Dr.Sherdil and Dr LaRosa…read more Dr. Sherdil caught glaucoma at its earliest stage! She explained everything in laymen terms. She's one of the best in that clinic and the only person I trust with my sight. Sadly I moved out of the area, I wish I never left. I miss that place and the great care I was given by Dr.Sherdil and staff.

CATARACT SURGERY + RXSIGHT LAL (light adjustable upgraded lens) IMPLANTS..... 4 months later healed…read moreand locked in... MY COMPLETE REVIEW: Surgery at Huguenot location smooth but I can also vouch for the complete lack of communication. You can't reach anyone directly after surgery (endless route of ringing back & forth to switchboard) but you can leave one message in general mailbox ( waited forever with no return call more than once). I definitely feel NOW I was not given enough information beforehand regarding the implants + the followup + the results. I can NOT speak for other possible lenses (toric or multifocal) since I previously had lasik and the LALs were my only choice of an upgrade versus standard. Can I say that my vision MIGHT have been the same or better with STANDARD implants? My goal was to eliminate the multiple pairs of readers and see well up close. I should have been told that to see REALLY well up close means ABSOLUTELY NO MID TO FAR RANGE OF VISION AT ALL. I second the lack of communication: for instance, I wasn't told until post op that all my adjustments would be elsewhere with an optometrist at a different- further- location. My postop printed info said to use drops for sev weeks and at followup I was asked if I discontinued them after a week. Everyone had a different take on wearing the goggles. KNOW THAT YOU MUST WEAR THE UV GOGGLES INSIDE AND OUTSIDE while awake. NO STANDARD SUNGLASSES. NO CHEATING. I encountered bigger problems with the communication at the Shortpump branch regarding adjusting my vision (very scary). Their goal is 2 adjustments and 2 lock ins (most everywhere else does 3+ adj or poss more). My honest impression is that THEIR end goal was for me to meet minimal LEGAL driving range-which is only mid range. I was also told that I could keep a spare pair of glasses for driving in my car to read the dash if I got transitions BUT the rx I received was apparently for readers. That will NOT help me see the dash unless I'm parked. Like I said: communication problems. All these weeks of appts are scarce so know your transportation MUST be completely flexible and wait times WILL be lengthy. Also each followup involves major dilation so you really need to have someone drive you. Would I recommend these LAL "upgrades"??? They are VERY pricey and results not NEARLY as adjustable NOR clear as the hype. Forget about test driving your new eyes and fine tuning your vision:( and just pass on these things because from others I've personally talked to, you get same (some better) MID TO FAR vision with standard implants (without doing the four months of 24 hr uv goggles and visits). You will need readers most likely for NEAR vision with standards. Bottom line: I was REALLY hoping for better than the limited vision I now have and I STILL NEED READERS for very closeup (which was my primary goal). Also I might mention I DID opt for mono pre surgery (dominant eye far & other eye near) but now? No more sky watching for my distant eye (blurry stoplights and blurry moon). Close vision IS better than before but still meh (told if I went closer then I would have to "sacrifice" any mid to far range). For VERY close work I DO need readers (eg splinter removal which was my original goal since I do fine artwork, beadwork & jewelry). Night driving? Same or maybe worse than with cataracts-still scared to drive at night. I should mention I'm really having a hard time with constantly dry irritated eyes - which I've SINCE heard is a significant problem with these LAL lenses- specifically if you've ever had a previous problem with dry eyes. Yes. I did. I mentioned that. Nobody said that it would be SO much worse after the LALs. BOTTOM LINE: Can't speak for Toric or Multifocals BUT Personally I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY BENEFITS TO THESE LAL upgrades FOR THE VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY AND TIME INVESTED. Hope this is helpful for those making this very important decision. Best wishes.

This place, the staff, and my two favorites Dr. Domagola and Dr. Brown, are absolute lifesavers! I…read morewas shocked to see this location have such low reviews, but I see now that much of that dissatisfaction has to do with the cost of basic eye exams. That's not what I used it for. I did not have an "eye doctor" in RVA. Basically all hell broke loose in my eyes and my regular providers didn't know what to do. I was able to get an immediate/emergency appointment with Dr. Domagola, who was absolutely amazing. Thank goddess for her. She put me on a course of treatment that gave me relief for the first time in a week, and thanks to a thorough and timely follow up, referred me to the cornea specialist Dr. Brown, whose office reached out immediately and got me in the next morning. I was blown away by Dr. Brown's competence and bedside manner; she took great care to put me at ease, explain exactly what was happening, and how she's going to treat it. Both doctors left no question that I was in kind, capable hands. Every staff member from the front desk receptionists to the friendly techs who have evaluated me have been compassionate and helpful. I also think it's badass that both my doctors here have been women. I will never go anywhere else for family's eyes. Thank you VA Eye Institute, Dr. Domagola, Dr. Brown, and their teams!

The only good thing about this place are the great folks who sit at the front desk (Westchester…read moreOffice). Dr. Seth Krawitz is a joke. You wait forever to see him and then he pokes his face in for, literally, 90 seconds, and then tries to dash off, even while I'm talking and trying to ask questions. Wouldn't go back to him. Ever.
