University Ophthalmologist

I just want to list a review. I am 69 years old and just had cataract surgery. I have Fuchs disease and never thought I could have cataract surgery and was advised against it because of my disease. I also had a cornea specialist at Cleveland Clinic advise against it. Then I met Dr. Omar a cornea specialist my eye sight was getting so bad from the cataracts I didn’t think I would pass my eye exam in February for my drivers license. I was actually praying for Gods help prior to my visit wondering since I live alone how I would function with out being able to drive when I probably wouldn’t pass my drivers test. . Dr. Omar on my first visit with him said that in his opinion even with my Fuchs disease that he thought I would be ok with having my cataract surgery he said of course it could bring on the disease but in my case he felt there was a in his opinion a more great possibility it would be safe. I was shocked and so happy to hear this news. . I noticed how busy he was as I used to work in a hospital in the ER as a registrar and awaiting on one patient after the other so I noticed these things. I thought if he is that busy he must be good so decided to go ahead and get the surgery. Dr. Omar is a five star eye surgeon. I only wish I would had met him sooner. First of all he is very kind and along with being kind and easy to be around he answers many questions and explains clearly . During my surgery he put gel on my bad cells to protect them and took all precautions to protect my bad cells and carefully did the surgery. His staff everyone of them was also so nice and professional. For the fist time in many years I am able to see clearly and know I will pass my eye test for my driving my life is back. My eye is improving everyday and after my follow up visit today I learned my vision in the operated eye is 20/20 vision at my age! I am so happy I just had to put a review to say how appreciative and happy I am to have Dr Omar a five star surgeon as my doctor. I am going back November 17th to have the other eye done. I know at some point my Fuchs could get worse but not from having my surgery from someone that new what he was doing!! I am just so happy! Thank you Dr Omar and his wonderful staff!
