UCI Medical eye institute in Irvine (love the free parking thank you!) gives a tremendously thorough exam, and Dr Garg spotted the real vision issue that Dr Sedri of Newport Beach Eye Institute completely missed. They both were provided with the exact same classic symptoms: "really blurry in the morning improves after 1 to 2 hours." UCI intake asked every detail of my health and two Doctors reviewed all my symptoms - refreshing! All the staff at UCI were so energetic and you can tell they love their jobs and their patients. So grateful God orchestrated a second opinion - I was not planning to get another opinion just happened organically from a conversation at a church dinner with my friend a retired emergency room Dr who is also getting cataract surgery. I HIGHLY recommend seeing UCI Dr Sumit "Sam" Garg. He saved me from the wrong surgery, wrong lens, and horrible. unnecessary expense. UCI is one of the few places in Orange County that is not a cataract money grab mill. If only every doctor would take such care for the well being of their patients. Also UCI is quite a bit less expensive than the 4 quotes i got from other Ophthalmologist, about 1/3rd less m, for multi focal lens or EOD lens. Turns out i am not a good candidate for multi focal due to a genetic, progressive eye disease, cornea epithelial dystrophy aka Fuch's Dystrophy. See attached photo of tge back of the cornea lining. Also my cataracts are mild to moderate, NOT one grade less the severe! Quite a different story at UCI!!! They are soooo amazing. Dr Garg of UCI took great care and time to explain his plan to improve my vision. Maybe cataract surgery down the road, and due to my condition, definitely not multi focal lens which would exacerbate its weakness of night time lights halo effect. Everyone talks up cataract surgery as it is the most common surgery performed. However, it is still surgery and the outcome affects your most precious eyesight! Go to the best. I wish all the Ophthalmologists in Orange would be as conscientious as Dr Garg ( and the other you woman Dr at UCI who also examined my eyes.) I'd give them 10 stars if I could. Best to all who are seeking better eyesight and taking the time to read reviews.

I drive here back in May because I wanted to get a second-opinion and because I wanted to meet the legendary Dr. Feinerman. I wanted to join the Secret Service and one of their mandated requirements is to get eye surgeries. However, I was never given a transparent explanation on how thick or thin my corneas are. I'd read about the horrors of lasik eye surgery, and the recent suicide of a police officer really made me think twice and such. Dr. Feinerman gives you evaluations for free on that stuff. My heart goes out to that police officer's family and friends for their loss. Dr. Feinerman and his team are so wonderful and amazing. They have these machines that thoroughly examine your eyes and even has a small machine one the size of a small coffee maker you'd find at Target that tells you how old your prescription glasses are. Dr. Feinerman also loved the matcha-Sakura pocky sticks I gave him along with a slice of sweet potato pie as a gift for his generosity and job.

I would recommend Dr Feinerman to everyone and am very grateful to have had this life-changing procedure.

    I cannot recommend Dr. Jeffrey Joseph highly enough…read more I first came to Dr. Joseph a few years ago because I was unhappy with the appearance of my under-eye area. Before finding him, I had been told by other providers that filler was the answer for the unevenness under my eyes. Unfortunately, it only made things worse. After consulting with Dr. Joseph, I finally understood that what I actually needed was a lower blepharoplasty--not filler. That surgery completely refreshed my appearance while still looking incredibly natural. Friends would tell me I looked well-rested, and I honestly felt like I looked 10 years younger. As I approached 43, I noticed my upper eyelids had begun resting on my lash line. My eyes constantly looked tired, and my makeup routine had gone from about 7 minutes to nearly 30 because I was trying so hard to make my eyes look more open and awake. I knew it was time to go back to Dr. Joseph for an upper blepharoplasty. Just like my first experience, everything was exceptional. His office is one of the most organized and caring medical practices I've ever worked with. The communication before, during, and after surgery was incredibly thorough, and they made me feel supported every step of the way. They even surprised me by sending a beautiful bouquet of flowers to my home after surgery--a thoughtful gesture that perfectly reflects the kind of practice they run. The surgery itself was far easier than I had imagined. I was much more nervous than I needed to be. I never even needed Tylenol afterward, and my recovery was remarkably quick. By day eight, I looked almost completely normal. I'm now seven weeks post-op, and people constantly ask me if I've done something different because I look younger. I always happily tell them about Dr. Joseph. One thing I've realized is how many women in their 40s don't even know what blepharoplasty can do. The funny thing about your 40s is that you still feel like you're in your early 30s, but sometimes the mirror doesn't reflect how youthful you actually feel. I work hard to take care of myself through diet, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle, and Dr. Joseph's work helped my outside finally match how I feel inside. I don't look "done"--I simply look like the best version of myself. Beyond his incredible surgical skill, Dr. Joseph has one of the best bedside manners of any physician I've ever met. He immediately puts you at ease and has such a warm, approachable, caring personality that it feels like you've known him for years. While many plastic surgeons perform eyelid surgery, Dr. Joseph has dedicated his career exclusively to oculoplastic surgery. That level of specialization matters. The eyes are the focal point of your face, and achieving a natural result requires tremendous expertise. I've personally seen blepharoplasty results from surgeons who don't specialize in eyelids, and the difference is obvious. Dr. Joseph's results are elegant, balanced, and beautifully natural. Finally, I have to recognize his incredible staff. From the front desk girls, to Jennie (his right-hand gal), to his wonderful surgery coordinator, every single person is kind, welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making your experience a positive one. If you're considering eyelid surgery, I truly cannot recommend Dr. Jeffrey Joseph and his team enough. It was one of the best investments I've ever made in myself, and I would choose him again without hesitation.

    For many years, I had fillers injected under my eyes and in my cheeks by another provider. Over…read moretime, I developed chronic swelling that continued even after having the fillers dissolved several times. I also experienced volume loss due to aging. Because of this, I preferred fat grafting as a more natural alternative to synthetic fillers. To achieve the best possible results from lower eyelid surgery, I wanted to find a surgeon who specialized in eye surgery and had extensive experience with facial fat grafting. I came across Dr. Jefferey Joseph's website and was impressed by his educational background, years of experience, and before-and-after photos. After consultation with Dr. Joseph, I had a lower eyelid blepharoplasty, midface lift, and fat grafting. I absolutely love my results! My cheeks and under-eye area look smooth and natural, and the fat grafting to my midface was beautifully done. I'm very happy with the outcome and so grateful for Dr. Joseph's expertise, dedication, and care.

    I have been looking into Lasix for quite some time. I went to a different Nvision location 2 years…read moreago & the optometrist at the time wanted medical clearance from my regular ophthalmologist due to my health issues. I went to see my ophthalmologist & he said he wouldn't medically clear me unless the surgeon is Dr. Tooma. I finally get around to getting a consultation & specifically asked for Dr. Tooma. He also had very limited appts since he is the OG in eye procedures! My patient Liason was Jennfier, who is a total sweetheart. Dr. Tooma was awesome in explaining why he recommended EVO ICL over lasix. He was also one of the original surgeons who brought all this technology to California. Now I can see why my ophthalmologist wanted me to specifically see him. I decided to go with his recommendation since he is the expert. Pre-op procedures were very extensive, which I don't mind at all. I opted to purchase the medicated eyedrops through them. The procedure itself was at a different location nearby. Entire staff has been wonderful. I had my procedure done yesterday. I returned to the clinic in the afternoon for a post op check & also came back earlier today. I have not been able to drive due to the healing process, but I should be able to see. I am still sensitive to the light and there's still a lot of inflammation in both eyes. I am gradually able to see better, so it just takes some patience. I am returning for another check up tomorrow. I love how thorough the doctors have been..I feel comfortable knowing I have been in good hands. As long as my vision improves and I don't have to wear contacts or glasses, I can't complain!

Before moving forward with surgery, I spent a significant amount of time researching surgeons to ensure I was making the best possible decision. Although Dr. Tooma's fees were higher than some others I considered, I firmly believe you get what you pay for -- and I was more than willing to invest in the highest level of care and expertise. The results were life-changing. After wearing thick glasses for most of my life, waking up with clear vision felt nothing short of amazing. Even now, as I've gotten older and experienced some natural age-related changes in my vision, I can still see clearly at a distance and only need glasses occasionally. For anyone considering LASIK, it's important to be aware of potential side effects such as dry eye and halos around lights at night. I did experience both, but the dry eye symptoms significantly improved over time. If I had to make the decision again, I would absolutely choose Dr. Tooma without hesitation. I'm incredibly grateful for the care I received and highly recommend him to anyone considering LASIK.
