I had my right eye cataract surgery by Dr. Fay in 2022. Last year after my annual eye exam, the primary Dr. V recommended me to do the laser to remove the cloudiness which can benefits my vision to be more clear. However I went to see Dr. Fay on the date that he didn't perform the surgery on me. Now my eye I still not improving because of the cloudiness on the lens.
Medium size clinic for cataract surgery and lasik procedures. Not too big - 4-5 patients processed at the same time. You can get in and out in a couple of hours. Nurses, staff, and even the anesthesiologist were all friendly and pleasant. You'll be there about 3 hours for your 10 minutes procedure, but some of that is the time to get your pupils to dilate and recover from your choice of anesthesia (local, nerve block, IV). I had no issues at all and was pretty much recovered the next day. Lots of snacks available after your procedure - but don't eat for 12 hrs before your procedure.
Just sharing my experiences here. My mother age 75 had cataract surgery done with Dr. F here, everything is fine except for frequent tearing from the eye which is annoying for her after cataract surgery . It’s been 3 months from the surgery date and it has not stopped, even after frequent visit to primary eye Dr. and various recommended application ointment drops. The actual Dr. who did the cataract surgery did not see my mother for some reason until couple days ago after my mother insisted on seeing him. The Dr. F took a look and said tear flow out is clogged and need different surgery called “NLDI” to open it. Hmmm…? I asked Dr. F does it have any relation to cataract surgery, he said no and he does not think so. Hmmm... I found Dr. F response weird because before cataract surgery no tears and after cataract surgery frequent constant tearing, okay Doc. Anyways after 3 months of trying to stop the tearing with multiple Dr. visits, we are in need of getting NLDI surgery with Dr. they’ve recommended. I give one star because I did not like Dr. F’s response, staff and everything else is fine. Perhaps he could have explained it more? Anyways, anyone else with teary eyes and need of NLDI surgery after cataract surgery?
My experience was very good. The staff was friendly, caring and professional. I'll be going back for my second cataract surgery and definitely feel more comfortable about the next surgery.
After being told I had cataracts working in both eyes (I knew of only 1) I was rushed into laser surgery in Nov/Dec 2020. Thanks to probable misuse of the laser, in the following months I suffered retinal tearing in BOTH eyes (one eye: twice). A year later my vision remains impaired by "floaters" that will not disipate in both eyes. I curse the days they touched my eyes... don't let them touch yours. ... Bottom line, don't let them touch your eyes without a second opinion. ... Now at 1 1/4 years following these surgeries: still have floaters plaguing my vision in both eyes. Don't think I'll ever have my vision back.
They offer a range of cataract surgery options, including traditional and laser-assisted techniques, tailored to your specific needs.
Cataract surgery typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes, and most patients can return home the same day.
Recovery usually involves a few days of rest, with most patients experiencing improved vision within a few days, though full recovery may take several weeks.
