    Twice hid fees from me until the end of my visit. This was after I asked on the phone to double check what the visit would cost.

    I saw Dr. Morar at this office and I would highly recommend him. The wait was short and the doctor was thorough and informative.

    Morar he informed me that a new discount was available and immediately I decided to go through with LASIK.

    Really happy with my experience at Visual Ophth. The doctor was very knowledgeable and thorough,…read moreand I never felt rushed. Everything was explained clearly, and I had all my questions answered. The optician was also great and took the time to explain my insurance benefits and the different options available. They showed me what I could get fully covered by insurance if I wanted something basic, but also explained the options that would be better for everyday use and helped me choose based on what I actually needed. They have a really nice selection of frames, too. Everyone was helpful, professional, and easy to work with. I'm very happy with my glasses and would definitely recommend this eye care center.

    I TRULY DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS PLACE HAS SO MANY GOOD REVIEWS…read more I've never experienced a more unprofessional, unorganized medical office. It's been SIX YEARS since I last got my eyes checked and since I got a new prescription. I was so excited to find this spot and get my lenses replaced on my first ever pair of real glasses, which I saved up for for my birthday last year. I used to only wear glasses from eyebuydirect. I trusted Visual Ophthalmology in Ridgewood to send my glasses to the lab and return them after the allotted 3-week period with the new prescription in the lenses. INSTEAD of receiving what I paid for and a service I trusted them to carry out, they gaslit me into believing my glasses were in the lab and that I was simply waiting for an update. I had been calling them for weeks asking for an update. They said they would call me back. I spoke to multiple women who work in the front area (all of them were rude and dismissive), and they all told me they would help me and give me an update, only to completely ignore me afterward. No call back, nothing. Then one of the women in the front named Felica gave me the personal number of another employee to ask about an update for my glasses rather than calling the "lab" herself and finding out what was happening. After getting frustrated going 4 weeks without glasses, a thing I actually need, and receiving a person's personal phone number just to fight for an update, I decided to request that my glasses be returned to me and that I would go to another office and attempt to get the lenses replaced there. After informing FeliCa that I wanted to do just that, she put me on hold for 10 minutes and then informed me that my glasses were right there in the office the entire time. So for 4 WEEKS, I went without glasses because they never, not once, sent them to the lab. Not even 2 weeks ago, when I called for an update, did any of the 4 different women I spoke to decide to send my glasses to the lab or inform me that someone had never sent them. I just went in today to pick them up, and they have new scratches that were not there before. Everyone in the office was giving me an attitude when I asked why they were never sent to the lab in the first place. They told me that it was the mistake of someone else who worked there previously and was fired. How is that the case when I spoke to multiple people over the course of 3 weeks and everyone was disorganized and unable to give me a clear answer? Obviously, the entire office is incapable of doing their very, very simple job. On top of that, they returned my co-pay to me in cash and gave it to me with so much attitude, and not like it was the money I paid to get my lenses replaced. I was spoken to with so much hostility when I was being respectful and patient the entire time, giving them so much space to just give me an update on my glasses. The girl in the front with the dark hair who speaks Spanish is also wearing Meta glasses, which should not be allowed. There are children and people who do not consent to being recorded walking in there for medical services, and her potentially filming them is a huge violation of everyone's privacy. I'm also positive my insurance was billed for my glasses, which I never received, and I will be filing a formal complaint with my insurance and with the appropriate New York State regulatory agency for their horrible handling of this situation. I will also be reporting the billing issue if I find that my insurance was billed for services or products that were never actually provided. I have never even received my prescription so I can replace my glasses at my own convenience. They literally did not care about my experience, my glasses, my prescription, or my ability to receive the services I paid for whatsoever. I read all the reviews and thought this was a great office to get my vision checked after 6 years of avoiding it, but now I would never ever recommend Vision Ophthalmology to anyone. I have told many people about my experience here and everyone is amazed at their incompetence.

    I saw Dr. Perrone in 2017 and got Lasik surgery with him through a recommendation of a friend's…read morecousin. My Lasik gave me chronic dry eyes, and I am still dealing with it all these years later (I just paid $1,600 for 4 IPL procedures to treat MGD and have seen 5 or more Drs and dry eye specialists over 7 years). There were two follow ups, but when I called later and explained that I had issues, his office said they don't take my health insurance and only two follow ups were allowed after the surgery. After I got the Lasik I returned to work and I had to leave work early because my eyes were so uncomfortable for the first several weeks. I am not entirely blaming him, but I don't believe I was a good candidate for LASIK and the standards for approving people for the procedure are not thorough enough. Please make sure you don't have any underlying conditions before you get Lasik. If you have any discomfort whatsoever with your eyes, when you wear contacts, or at any other point, investigate it and see what the issue is or could be. Perhaps get the opinion of a Doctor who does not perform Lasik.

    I waited a long time to write this review because I wanted to be sure...reeeeally sure that I had a…read morepositive experience with no side effects. Well, here I am almost 4 months post-Lasik with Dr. Perrone...and I would 100% recommend him to anyone. I went to Dr. Perrone with NO intent of getting LASIK. I simply needed to see an ophthalmologist, he took my insurance, and was easy for me to get to. I went on the recommendation of my Optometrist, who has been providing me with eye exams and glasses for the last 20 years, since they could take a more advanced look at my bad eyes. I have been wearing glasses since I was 6 years old. My prescription?? I was a +8 in one eye, and a +5 in the other...so pretty much completely blind without glasses. I also don't wear contacts because no matter the brand, they would irritate my eyes. So I went to Dr. Perrone, who did some tests, told me that my prescription was undercorrected, and asked if I'd like a new pair of glasses OR if I ever thought about getting LASIK correction surgery. Now, I am an EXTREMELY anxious person. I freak out over everything and I probably asked him like 1,000 questions about it right then and there...but ultimately Dr. Perrone made me feel so comfortable with his experience, the ease of the procedure, AND my being a perfect candidate, that I walked out with an appointment a month later, and a folder with materials to review. His office made it very clear that I could call at ANY time with any questions and they'd be happy to answer...and I did. My biggest freak out was over the consent form that I had to sign - on which you basically agree that they won't be responsible for loss of vision. I obsessed over that form a lot but everyone was super nice and reassuring every time I would call. I was also worried that my eyes were TOO bad for the surgery, but again, was calmed down a lot by Dr. Perrone and the office staff. The day of the surgery, I commuted into the city (right on Park Ave and 40th), with the husband. They did some last minute tests, mapped out my eyeballs, and then I had to watch a video. The nurse who was assisting Dr. Perrone was really nice and sweet, even though I was totally freaking the eff out - even post self-administered Xanax. Well, it was finally my turn. After they numbed my eyes for like an hour, I went under the machine. I was given a teddy bear to hold and you better believe I clenched the hell out of that bear. First, they did my right-eye, which is my better eye. I felt nothing and the laser beamed into my eyeball for 30 seconds. It was so quick and simple. It also helped that the nurse was counting down the 30, so I felt reassured it would be over soon. They patched the right eye, and swung me under for the other one, which I was told would take just a little longer because it was my bad eye. How much longer? 1 minute total. I felt really comfortable with that since I just did 30 seconds, no problem. Again, the nurse counted down as I stared at the beam. I was on the table for probably a total of 5 minutes. They helped me up once everything was finalized and checked, and I was led to a dark waiting room and instructed to keep my eyes closed for 20 minutes. It was SO DIFFICULT because ALREADY I could SEE - like much better than I ever could without glasses. I was getting really emotional. After about 20 minutes, the Doctor came to see me, and checked my eyes to ensure everything was still perfect and wrinkle-free. It was. I was given a dark pair of sunglasses, a bag of stuff, and sent on my way, with a follow-up appointment the next day, and Dr. Perrone's cell number, in case of emergency. Well, unfortunately for me, I had to use that cell phone number because I never received the prescriptions I needed for the drops to help heal my eyes! When I got home I had my husband call and Dr. Perrone was able to call everything to my pharmacy, no problem. The next day, I could see, but not read (so much blurriness). I went to every single checkup that was included in the cost of the surgery (I think it was 4-5) and things got better every single time. Now, I didn't have a next day miracle, and my eyes took about 2 weeks to reach a comfortable vision point, but they get better every single time I see the doctor and now, I have perfect 20/20 vision. My vision is better than it could have ever been via correction like glasses. My left eye is still catching up though. Overall, I had such a wonderful, positive experience getting Lasik from Dr. Perrone. One thing that made me feel really comfortable is knowing that he works as an ophthalmologist and as I visited him, I saw him take all sorts of patients, and schedule cataract surgeries, etc. This definitely isn't an in-out LASIK shop. It was also one of the cheaper places I found. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Perrone to anyone. And no, I got absolutely NO kickbacks from this review. I wish!!!
