Bochner Eye Institute

I had Lasik for far-sightedness back in 2007. I had a high prescription and was told that the level of regression would be that I might need reading glasses down the road. Not true at all, year over year my eyes have continued to regress where I need full time corrective lenses and a stronger annual prescription each time I visit my optometrist. Do your own research and do not rely on what they tell you.

Took my father-in-law here for cataract surgery. He had both eyes done, one on Tuesday, the other on the Wednesday. Each day they had the wrong eye written down, said it was fine even though we only put drops in the eye they had told us to do. When going for his follow up on his right eye they only checked his left, we had to say something. Appointment times are a joke, we had 3 appointments, all of which we waited over an hour before even being seen.. The last appointment was just for a follow up, we were told it would be quick, we waited 1.5 hours just to be seen, then had to wait more time before seeing the surgeon. On our last day the receptionist there that day was rude, not only to us but the other patients.

Summary: At the end of the day, my Lasik went well and my vision is much better. But once they have your money, they couldn't care less about you.When you first reach out to them, they are great. Very communicative, helpful, and patient. They walk you through the process thoroughly and make sure any anxiety/questions you may have are addressed before your surgery date. The surgeon and especially the nurses are very kind and competent, and they do everything they can to make sure you are comfortable and calm during the procedure.The after-care is another story. Once your procedure is over, the front desk/admin staff treat you like utter trash. They tell you not hesitate to call if you have any questions or concerns during recovery, but the receptionists (in person and over the phone) treated every interaction like it was a huge imposition and a waste of time. Their aftercare optometrist told me I could continue to see him for my follow-up appointments, but then had the receptionists immediately call my referring optometrist's office to tell them I was trying to cheat" the system somehow by not going back to my regular eye doctor. Then they called me and berated me

Dr Stein corrected my -14 vision two weeks ago with intraocular lenses and the results are life-changing! I wish I had done this many years ago. He puts his patients at ease and all of his staff are friendly and professional. I would 100% recommend Bochner Eye Institute to anyone wanting to make sure their eyes are in safe hands.

I had a great experience with the Bochner Eye Institute. I had the ICL procedure done and it was quick and painless. My vision was greatly improved by the next day after surgery. Big thanks to Dr. Stein and especially the surgical team who were very kind as well as Kristin who was a great first point of contact. Thanks again to the team at Bochner!

Initial consultation at Unionville location was thorough. The nurse answered my questions promptly via email. Lasik day went smoothly. The staff members made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure.It all came down to booking the follow up appointment with the front desk. The lady (the one that had her hair dyed) was not friendly and approachable at all. She answered my questions bluntly and impolitely which turned my positive experience with this clinic to a negative one.

I had the pleasure of having Dr. Raymond Stein perform my cataract surgery. The entire experience from initial consultation to surgery and post-op was nothing short of incredible. The entire staff members were so kind and helpful every step of the way. Thank you!

I had an incredible experience getting Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking for mild Keratoconus at Bochner in January. My initial technician when I arrived, Delray, was incredibly kind and compassionate during a time when I was feeling nervous and uneasy (as one does before surgery lol). My Ophthalmologist, Dr. Raymond Stein, was professional, knowledgeable and personable. The team was kind enough to allow my fiancé to come in with me through the entire process which put me at ease and meant so much to me. Finally, I want to give a HUGE shoutout to Marcel, who assisted in my surgery with the Riboflavin drops and UV light portion. Marcel made the experience so incredibly positive and it meant the world to me that he shared that he also had Keratoconus and had gone through this surgery. I was able to ask him questions about his experience (which was amazing because I've never knowingly met anyone else with this condition) and he was so open and honest about everything I could expect and guided me through each step of the surgery in a way that really put me at ease. I never thought I would look back at having eye surgery in such a positive light as if it was a great memory but it truly changed my life and made me stronger to go through this and have such a positive experience. For anyone out there who has Keratoconus and is nervous about getting Cross-Linking, I cannot even begin to tell you how much I recommend the team at Bochner. The anticipation of waiting for the surgery was far worse than the surgery itself or even the healing afterwards, which over the past 3 months has gone incredibly smoothly! Thank you, Bochner, for helping me get my vision back on track!

After doing some math on how much my daily multi-focal contacts were costing me, I called Bochner to see if they could fix my vision - close up, computer and distance. I talked to Peter S and he was amazing. He indicated that in order to fix my vision concerns I would need Refractive Lens Exchange. He explained the procedure and then he scheduled me for a consultation. The consultation was to do measurements and determine the general health of my eyes. Peter then spoke with me again and said I was a candidate for the surgery. My surgery was scheduled for mid-April 2023. During my pre-op the procedure was explained to me again and I met with Dr. Rebecca Stein to review any concerns and the risks. On surgery day I took the drops as prescribed and arrived just after 1pm for my 2pm surgery. Everything went as planned and now, 5 days later, my vision is remarkable. Close up, computer, distance, all good. I do see halos at night, as was told to me during the pre-op and will see if these reduce. But for the rest, it is truly amazing. Highly recommend this procedure to those looking to get rid of glasses and contacts! Thanks!
