Dr. John Pajka, MD

Staff was extremely friendly except for scheduling. Scheduling just tells you when your appointment is with no leniency around your work schedule or anything. Be sure you know what the procedure will entail. I never expected to be told to lie flat on my back for hours upon end and not drive at all after one eye had been operated on. First surgery a cornea transplant did not work and I was left blind in that eye for 6 weeks before another surgery was done. That helped but, an optometrist said the vision in that eye would always be blurry because of the first, ineffective surgery. I was near sighted and could remove my glasses to read up close. Now I am told I am far sighted and will always require bi-focals or magnifying glasses to read. I believe my vision was better before cataract surgery, lens implants, and corneal transplants on both eyes. It has been 10 months since the first surgery and, after two pair of glasses, my vision is still not as good as before surgery.

My Experience at the Pajka Eye Center In December 2021, after a several month wait for an appointment, I was able to see Dr. Pajka at the Pajka Eye Center . The waiting room was crowded and check in was fast since I had already filled out the required paperwork. The staff that took me from room to room for tests were pleasant and efficient. After about an hour of testing, I was seated in a chair to await Dr. Pajka. He and a nurse came in after about a 15 minute wait. He was cordial but somewhat abrupt and business like at first. After about 5 minutes of looking at my eyes he stated "You are legally blind". I was very surprised as I had taken my driver license renewal test in August with no problem at all. I am aware that I have cataracts in both eyes. My left is not bad at all, but my right is getting blurry. He handed me a paper and told me he was sure that I could not read it at arms length. I read it to him word for word. At that point he stated he had other patients to see an

Was rushed through the exam.

My eyesight is really failing.I wish I could see better and my eyes didn't water constantly.I am 79 yrs and looked fwd to not wearing glasses.Now I probably will have to.

Rude basically told me I was going to go blind and I was wasting his time!
