Apex Eye: Chaudhry Haroon MD

I suffered a detached retina in January of 2018... leaving me completely blind in my right eye. I was referred to Dr. Chaudhry, who juggled his schedule and saw me same day for evaluation. After he confirmed a detached retina (horseshoe tear, including complete separation from macula), he squeezed me into surgery the next day. After the surgery and a series of post-op check-ups, he continued to give me good feedback that the remained on-track. He did a phenomenal job with the surgery, and with explaining the recovery process in great detail. This second part (his careful explanation of the path forward) was crucial for me... as the recovery after laser retinal reattachment surgery is not easy or quick. He emphasized how I could best contribute to a positive result, and he provided me a roadmap of how things would play out over the upcoming months.
The recovery went precisely as Dr. Chaudhry had informed me. I feel fortunate to have been referred to him and blessed beyond belief to have recovered use of my eye. After the retinal reattachment and subsequent lens replacement surgery (“cataract surgery”), I am now testing at 20/20 on the eye chart without glasses/contacts. I consider him a miracle worker!

I had a detached retina. The ER sent me straight to an ophthalmologist. The ophthalmologist sent me straight to Dr Haroon Chaudhry, an eye surgeon. He agreed with the previous opinions that it was urgent. Even though it would mean he would have to get off work after schedule he had his staff call around to local hospitals until they found one with an operating room slot open. He then met my wife and me at the hospital and reattached my retina perfectly. All these appointments, exams, and surgery happened within seven hours. Before we all went to the hospital he wanted to explain what he was going to do with my eye. He started by saying it would be pain free. Then he began explaining what the operation itself would involve, but that was starting to make me squeamish, so I told him to stop, because he had already told me it would be painless, and that was all I needed to know.
