    Terrible experience. Rude, understaffed and poor selection and limited hours. Been waiting on my glasses 4 weeks now.

    I wore glasses since elementary school and had been intrigued by the possibility of ditching my…read moreglasses ever since LASIK surgery gained popularity in the 90s. Of course I was squeamish at the thought of letting someone tamper with my eyes, so when I decided that I was ready to pursue this option in 2008, it wasn't a decision that I made lightly. I did my research, read the horror stories about what could go wrong and resolved that I would undergo the surgery only if I were considered a good candidate. I'd rather keep wearing glasses than lose my eyesight. When I asked my optometrist about LASIK surgery he directed me to Dr. Frank Owczarek at Eye Care of Delaware. Before I actually met with Dr. Owczarek I underwent extensive testing to evaluate my suitability for LASIK surgery. Unfortunately, I was informed that I was not a good candidate for LASIK due to my extreme degree of nearsightedness and the thinness of my corneas. However, Dr. Owczarek informed me that I was likely a good candidate for a newer procedure - implantable collamer lenses (ICL). Having never heard of this procedure, I initially dismissed it and accepted that I would wear glasses for the rest of my life. However, after some reflection I researched the ICL procedure and decided to undergo the further tests required to evaluate my suitability for this procedure. Dr. Owczarek and Dr. Mitchell (the resident optometrist) answered all my questions and made sure that I understood the risks before I made my decision. I decided to go for it. Dr. Owczarek and his staff were great during all stages of the surgery, from preparation through postoperative followup. During the surgery itself I had full confidence in Dr. Owczarek. The guy not only has his MD, but also a PhD. (in optics I believe). Not only is he a smart guy, but he has a good rapport with his patients as well. Most importantly, I couldn't be happier with the results of my surgery. Today I have vision better than 20/20. Unlike some ophthalmologists who only perform LASIK, Dr. Owczarek has no incentive to push LASIK over any other procedure. He is most concerned with finding the most appropriate solution for his patients. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Owczarek and Eye Care of Delaware to anyone considering refractive surgery.
