The surgeon is just delightful and I am still healing/getting used to my eyes (only been 1 week since the second eye) but I can tell already that this was a great decision for me. I'm only 62, but I had the beginning of cataracts (I am told this is very common at my age) and my vision was getting worse. I was so sick and tired of readers on-and-off, and it was a nuisance for teaching--had to perch glasses on the end of my nose. No more--I can read my lessons and talk to the students without any correction now. Upgraded lenses are expensive, but insurance paid for half of the total due to the cataracts, which are covered--I just had to pay for the special lens. My lesson learned to pass on is to get the second eye done as soon as comfortable. I think I had a harder time adjusting to and recovering from the first one because the upgraded lens are meant to work with each other. Once I had the second one done, the first felt instantly better. The second eye recovery was so much quicker! They tell me each eye is individual in how it recovers. OK--so why not 5 stars? I had to dock them one for the often frustrating lack of cohesion between the BHam clinic and the Mt. Vernon surgery center. I LOVE the way Mt. Vernon runs, and the staff are so nice and friendly. Not the same vibe in BHam. They are nice, but not as customer-service oriented. Just getting through to a human on the phone is a challenge, and you might get different versions/opinions from different doctors and staff in BHam. They all seem a little green. The call center doesn't always have accurate information. My only note about Mt. Vernon is that the discharge person is a bit abrupt and physically rough--which is a bit disconcerting when you are still a bit disorientated and feeling vulnerable right after surgery. (Both times so I know he wasn't just having a bad day).) It would be nice to have some of the more compassionate care you get before surgery. A last impression is just as important as a first one.

On the technical and operational side, rarely have I met a person so meticulous--a quality so necessary in this work when you are dealing with measurements in microns or something like that. I felt confident by the information he imparted that he truly was expert in this area. He was very forthcoming with potential complications in my situation, and he involved me in his decision to diverge from his original plan to potentially increase the likelihood of the most optimal outcome based on my needs and wants, explaining his rationale and giving me choice. His plan worked! On the personal side, I found him to be a very caring physician and one invested in good communications. I found him easy to talk to, comfortable, genuinely pleasant and highly personable. He takes his time, ensuring you get what you need from him as he considers reasonable options. He explains well and checks-in with you. I felt informed, plus I felt wholly attended to. He is responsive. I never felt pressed or rushed even when extra time was needed for checking my specifics or optimizing strategies for my case. It was made clear to me on several occasions--and not all involving me--that he is dedicated to best outcomes for patients. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I trusted him with my eyes--I would trust him with a lot more.

They each go beyond the call of duty day in, day out, every day without fail. I'm from Denver yet decided to fly all the way out to Vancouver then commute from there to Abbotsford. I heard Dr. Blaylock was the best ophthalmologist in the world, and I settle for nothing less than the best. He lives up to the hype. Prior to surgery, I had 20/300 vision; now I have 20/20 on the verge of 20/15, as confirmed by my local optometrist. Part of the reason I made the trip to Abbotsford is because I have really thin corneas (under 500 microns), so I was not a good candidate for LASIK or PRK. My only alternative was an implantable collamer lens (ICL), but I had astigmatism that was until recently just over the maximum threshold in the US and consequently needed toric ICL, the kind for astigmatism. Even though toric ICL is now approved in the US, as of this writing it still requires an iridotomy, which is a hole in your eye instead of the lens to relieve pressure. In Canada, the hole is in the lens, not your eye. I'll admit I don't entirely understand it all...I just know I don't want the hole in my eye. I also have "freakishly big eyes" as diagnosed by Dr. Blaylock himself, but fortunately I fell just within the maximum lens size for toric ICL. And I am 100% satisfied with the result. Initially I had bad halos, floaters, and flashes, all of which are normal, but now they're barely noticeable. I very much love being able to see clearly without glasses or contacts! By the way, my first surgery was successful for the right eye but not the left (my left eye was okay, but the left ICL tore). I am only the second patient this has happened to out of almost a thousand surgeries. Another doctor may have still put the torn lens in my eye and hoped I didn't notice, but this is what separates Dr. Blaylock from other doctors, for he refused to do that. Instead he insisted on ordering me a brand-new lens as well as flying me back out on his own dime (literally all travel expenses paid for by him, from the private jet to the helicopter to the limousine to the penthouse suite...okay, so it was actually from the public bus to the coach flight to the Budget rental car to the Travelodge by Wyndham, but same difference), for which I am forever grateful! Thank you, Dr. Blaylock and team, for taking such great care of me and helping me see clearly!
