I have seen eye doctors my whole life (46). I was born w. several vision issues. This doctor is absolutely highly recommended. My vision issues are difficult ( each eye has a set of different issues, and not similar to each other either). I am Not interested/ able to have any corrective eye surgery (s), so good eyeglasses and contact lenses prescriptions are very important to me. The prescriptions recommended by this doctor were very well thought and my eyes were never too strained from either eyeglasses or contacts, as it happened in the past. My vision actually got much better in the past 2 years since I see this doctor. Again, Highly recommended!!!
