How we vet a practice

Volume in lens surgery

Surgeons who place premium IOLs weekly, with cataract-surgery pedigrees measured in thousands of cases.

Honest screening

Practices that decline poor candidates. If everyone qualifies, nobody is being screened.

Transparent quotes

All-in written pricing — surgeon, lens, facility, post-op, touch-up policy — before you commit to anything.

“I kept five pairs of readers around the house for a decade. Six weeks after my lens replacement I gave them all away.”
Illustrative patient scenario — composite, not a real review
“I was declined for LASIK twice because of my prescription. Nobody had ever explained that RLE existed until I started reading.”
Illustrative patient scenario — composite, not a real review

Five questions to ask at your consultation

  1. How many refractive lens exchanges did you personally perform last year?
  2. Which lenses do you implant most, and why would you choose one for my eyes?
  3. What's your enhancement (touch-up) rate, and is a touch-up included in the quote?
  4. Given my prescription, what is my specific retinal-detachment and night-vision risk?
  5. What would make you tell me not to have this procedure?

Take these five questions with you. If you are not sure which practice to start with, use the form below without picking one and we will match you with a practice in Tampa that fits your answers.
