I cannot say enough how much I love Ideal Eye Surgery in O'Fallon IL!…read more I woke up to Van Gogh trying to create a massive black abstract painting in my right eye. I initially started swatting at the spider flying around on its web and trying to attack me before realizing that there was no spider but definitely a HUGE concern. I called their office and was in seeing a doctor in less than an hour. Their timely, phenomenal, and reassuring care they provided was absolutely top notch! I also had my cataract surgery done by Dr. Stock in 2019 and received equally impressive care from he and his staff, as well as the surgery eye center then as well! They genuinely care about their patients and their well-being! Thank you Ideal Eye Surgery! TLB

I had cataract surgery on November 12, 2025 in Benton, Illinois. My first appointment was…read morelackluster, very much felt like it was a cattle operation. Spent maybe two minutes with the surgeon, then was moved on to the sales pitch. On the day of surgery, I was told I would receive a sedative prior to surgery which did not happen. I was eventually wheeled into a hallway to wait my turn and the doctor came up to me and taped my head to the gurney much like a Dexter episode. Loud music was playing, lots of conversation between the surgical staff and surgeon. After wheeling me in, the surgeon put a weighted cover over my face which made it very difficult to breath. When I voiced my concern to the surgeon, he simply said the anesthesiologist would be in soon. After that, I don't remember a thing and eventually woke up in our truck on our way home. My husband told me I acted like I had Alzeimer's and was completely out of it. A week or so later, I received an email from a company I didn't recognize, asking me to review my anesthesia. I didn't respond. I don't recommend this company. The surgery, btw, was ok.

She even printed out photos of some possible frames from the Internet for me to consider. Her suggestions regarding lenses and coatings were right on. I couldn't be happier.
