In July of 2025, I underwent cataract surgery in my left eye under the care of Dr. Jeffrey Van…read moreInwegen of New Jersey Regional Eye Care. Full disclosure, I understand that 1) every surgery has its attendant risks; and 2) I underwent this procedure, including the implantation of a multi-focal IOL, voluntarily. Up until then, no one had suggested that I undergo the surgery. In fact, my ophthalmologist had advised that my cataracts were "not quite ripe". However, when I mentioned this to the surgeon, he said the technology underlying cataract surgery had advanced, such that the "not ripe" verbiage was outmoded, and no longer suitably descriptive. Following the surgery, the vision in my left eye was impaired, and blurry. Dr. Van suggested that we move on to the right eye, but I was naturally uncomfortable going that route. My vision improved very slightly over the following three months but remains much worse, with or without glasses, than it ever has been. Dr. Van offered a prescription for remedial glasses but the prescription's reading addition was alarmingly incorrect. I consulted with another ophthalmologist who has had specialized experience with post-cataract surgery problems. That Doctor adjusted Dr. Van's lens prescription so that I can now read a Kindle, but that's about it. Reading even a large print book, or sheet music is impossible, just too blurry. I am writing this on a laptop; blurry. It takes forever, and is very frustrating. In follow up visits following the procedure, two different doctors in the practice performed eye exams. The first said: "we'll get you back to 20/20 with glasses". The second said: "you'll have to explain all this to Dr. Van". During my final visit, I explained to Dr. Van that my vision was still blurry, and had been so since the surgery. He dismissed my problem in an offhand, and casual way, and made it seem that there was nothing really wrong. But then offered a referral to another Doctor, specialized in the treatment of "these sort of things"(!) At this point, I have seen a Doctor at a renowned eye hospital, who proposed revision surgery, but explained that such corrective surgery is more complex, not generally covered by Medicare, and riskier than the original surgery. These days the best way for me to read involves removing my glasses, covering the left (IOL) eye, and using my right eye which is pretty good without correction. Otherwise, even large print is blurry. These then are my opinions: First, listen to your trusted ophthalmologist - he or she will tell you when you're ready for cataract surgery. Do not undergo cataract surgery unless you have experienced significant visual impairment. I realize now I had no particular problem reading (with bifocal glasses) prior to the surgery. Second, do not opt for the multi-focal lens - especially if your vision with glasses is fine, as mine was. You're probably over 70, and no one is looking at you anymore. Uncle Sam won't pay for the multi-focal IOL procedure, and if there IS a poor outcome or refractive "surprise" as I experienced, those type problems are easier to fix (usually with glasses) if the patient has opted for the monofocal or "standard" lens. I wish someone had told me that up front. That part of my experience at NJ Eye Care was a hurried "assembly line" approach, as in "just sign here". Read the releases. Take your time. Stay away from the multi-focal lens. And stay away from NJ Regional Eye Care. I gave the 2 star rating because the office is neat, and the front office staff is great; and because it was easy to schedule follow-up visits.

I chose Oakland Vision Center for several reasons, so I made an appointment. When I walked in the office I saw the office staff were helping one elderly lady. They were helping her with kindness, just like they would do for their grandmother. I was answering questions as a new customer when the phone rang. She answered the phone and asked them to hold on while continuing to helping me. Then soon after, one worker came out from back and asked her to help the person on the phone, and she took the tablet to continue filling out the form for me. They work together to provide the best possible service for all their customers. When I was selecting a frame for my glasses, one lady helped me find the frame I was looking for. I am glad that I chose this place.

Dr Sara and Dr Tracey were both very patient and careful with me. Glasses took longer than expected to come in, however worth the wait. One staffer at Wyckoff seemed a little distracted, but otherwise both locations provided me with excellent care. Travis at MP and Rich at Wyckoff were also patient and acted like they cared that I got the lenses I needed. Each location also gave me a little bit of a discount on minor things - very appreciated, as they did not have to do this. (I did get 3 pairs of glasses in addition to the IPL treatments, so I spent some cash there). Yes they are more expensive, but in my opinion you get what you pay for. Thoroughly recommend. Bonnie H.
