I am not normally someone who posts reviews on Yelp, but, because of the frequency with which…read morevisits to the doctor can become visits to your local medical hellscape, I wanted to write a note about the Eye Center. Every visit I have had here has been absolutely wonderful. I seldom have to wait beyond the scheduled time for my appointment, and, when the appointment does begin, the staff are courteous, caring, and attentive to what I am physically feeling. The women working in the optical division of the Eye Center are nothing short of wonderful, as well (my particular experience has been with Emily, whom I would credit for ensuring that I do not prematurely develop blindness). I tend to be very critical of doctors (medical jargon doesn't impress me, in the words of Julia Sugarbaker), and I've never had anything but wonderful experiences here. If your insurance covers the Eye Center, I would heartily encourage you to go. The facility is lovely and maintained impeccably, and the staff and doctors are a delight.

I'm not going to talk really bad about Eye Center, but I am also not going to say I got the best…read morecare either. I have been wearing eyeglasses/Contacts for decades now. My old Eye Doctor back in my hometown only had 1 person working in the office. It always seemed that I was in and out quickly. There are 3 providers that I know of here. I lost count of the number of people working in this business, this just needlessly drives up the cost of care in my opinion. My primary issue is I was careless and let the provider prescribe a contact lens that did not work correctly. I made contact and was told they would order a trial lens and call me back for another fitting That was months ago and I still have not heard back. I'm not going back, and it's a shame because this clinic is almost within walking distance from my home.

I was referred by my optometrist to get the holes looked at in my eyes. She gave me 3 places to…read morelook at and I decided to go with Wagner Macula & Retina Center. I just gave me positive vibes when researching. They are doing what the can in regards to covid. I do wish they mailed or emailed the paper work to me. I love that option. That way I do not have to fumble in a chair filling out all the paperwork. I went for my first appointment. They took photos of my eyes and did a whole bunch of other things including dilating my eyes. I have not had that done in a while. I was totally not prepared for it. My eyes were so sensitive afterwards that I could barely keep my eyes open. I walked through the office without my contacts in so so could not see where I was going. After all was said and done and it was time for me to go home so sat in the car trying to figure out if so could even drive. I doubled up on my sunglasses and was able to see better. I was laughing to hard at this with a friend on the phone. I told her so feel like so was drunk... which it's been years since I was. But, I was just all over the place in my head that I came home to nap. While in the office Dr. Wagner introduced himself. He was so patient and kind and a jokester. I could hear him in the other room with a child and he was doing amazing in there!!!!! I go back early May for a procedure. I'll update more shortly. MAY PROCEDURE 5/5: I walked in for a late afternoon appointment. I was taking within 5-7 minutes, not long at all. The staff was friendly this time as well. They are so good at explaining what they were doing and if I had questions they were helpful. I was really enjoying the waiting room music. Very old time, made me think I was at Disney in one of their parks. One song was One O'Clock Jump by Benny Goodman. It was a nice distraction since my eyes were dilated. The procedure was great. I was nervous but, Dr. Wagner did well explaining everything's long with his staff. I love Dr. Wagner's style.. bow ties!

Went to the Hampton office for my 1st appointment. Waiting…read moreroom was filled, so that seemed like a good recommendation Had the pre-doc vision screen, then waited for interior eye imaging Sat for 30 minutes, told I was I next, then 5 to 6 people went ahead me. Talked to one person waiting who says the Dr visits are like 5 minutes Saw Dr. Kapoor- very nice and easy to talk to. Listened well to me. Told me the cause of my eye issue, expected progress, and treatment. Felt like that was proper care for what i had, now we see what it does. My visit was 8 minutes, but all the my issues where addressed. so OK Besides the wait issue, seeing Dr Kapoor is hard schedule. Very busy. I do trust him in taking care of my eyes.

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.
