Dr. Stuart Sondheimer, MD

I had been evaluating having cataract for over 3 years. Stuart said when you're ready come in and I will take care of it. I am a veteran, and I could have had the surgery done for free at the VA. But the VA eye surgeons were all young with a limited number of eye surgeries (20 to 100). There was one issue with the surgery was that my eyes do not dilate enough. I lesser experienced surgeon might have proceeded and caused some eye damage. But Stuart knew what to do. He used what is called the Malyugin Ring. It holds the pupil open wide enough to make the surgery safer and easier. The best thing of all is that I can see clearly again. It was remarkable to read road signs from a long distance or watch TV and see clear crisp images and recessed lights that were yellow turned white and much much more. Thank you Stuart! I will be forever grateful.

Went 2 years ago for a cataract consultation. Insisted on doing a battery of tests before giving info. Had some of these tests 2 months before from another Dr. After tests mention something not right with cornea. Asked if I should see a specialist Said not necessary. He also promoted doing other procedures, like a stent during surgery. After the stent to relieve pressure in 1 eye there was no differences between my 2 eyes. . He did cataract surgery on eye. I had pain afterwards and after 3 weeks vision was terrible, worse than before surgery. Kept telling me to give it time. I insisted on seeing a specialist who diagnosed a cornea problem that should have been fixed before surgery. 4 days after cornea was fixed my vision became clear. His technician is the nastiest person I have ever met in a dr.'s office. My friend in the waiting room heard her saying nasty things about me because after waiting over 40 min. in the examining room I needed to use the bathroom.
