    Bluish Grey Eyes.
    Rodney C.

    Best experience ever. Great staff. Dr. M. is amazing. I love my new eyes. I have gotten so many compliments from people about my eyes. Anyone who is contemplating getting this procedure done, please see Dr. M. He is the best in the business.

    I always dreamed to have blue eyes as long as I remember myself. This hasn't been possible until now. Other ways to change your eye color aren't safe and not legal in US. Keratopigmentation is the only safe way to have eye color change. Kerato NYC team is very helpful and they answered all my questions before the surgery. They made me feel comfortable and relaxed. The surgery isn't painful and very quick. I chose French Blue as my color. I'm so happy with it. I can't even describe this! It changed my life and gave me something I thought wasn't possible. Dr Movshovich is amazing, he's very experienced and has a great bedside manner. The recovery was overall easy. Only first night I felt some pain and discomfort. 7 days later and I'm feeling 100 percent back to normal. I can wake up with beautiful blue eyes every morning! Thank you so much KeratoNYC. See photos before and after. The after was taken right after the surgery at the office.

    This is just my opinion, personal observation and experience from my Kerato pigmentation journey. When I first came across the Kerato site it sounded too good to be true . After my initial contact I still felt like it might be some kind of scam or something . After several emails with a wonderful woman who I won't name, I felt more comfortable as she was so pleasant, informative and didn't seem to mind my many questions. I was still unsure but then she said something that changed my mind completely. She told me that if I was unsure, then I should probably wait. For some reason that gave me comfort as I didn't feel pressured. Once I decided to get the surgery. I was still unsure as the pictures on the site were , in my opinion, not the best representation of what could be. Nevertheless, I scheduled. I first had to go through a 2 hour pre screening which was very thorough. Everyone in the office and the surgery site were so pleasant and it seemed to have a very upbeat environment. The procedure process itself was a bit rushed in my opinion : allow me to explain. After the initial coloration I was immediately sat up on the side of the table and a picture was taken. I was then asked to review the pic and see if I wanted change. For starters my vision was blurry and I was overwhelmed by the drastic change, which I had not prepared myself for. For this very reason - please bring a trusted friend to help in this process. Then I was seated in the chair outside while I debated what to do. The color had not yet settled and was not a true representation of the color , which kinda freaked me out. It was so vibrant which was exactly NOT what I wanted. The next pic was only about 10 minutes later when Dr. Movshovich took it. In just those few minutes the color had settled a bit more. I was later told that the color looked so bright because of the redness, which they toned down by using Lumify drops. I personally think there should be about a 30 minute wait after initial colorization before deciding on any corrections. I understand it's a business and time is money, but I think the final outcome would be better. I'm not sure what chemicals are in the dye but I personally would prefer a more muted / softer color to avoid the brightness which makes it look a bit fake and cartoonish in many of the colors and photographs. After talking with people post surgery , it is my personal opinion that the black ring around the eye should stay( I requested it to be removed) , but thinner if possible. All my friends and family have pointed out that the black ring ( forgot the appropriate term for it) makes the eye look more natural . Without the outer ring the eye tends to look more like a contact lens. I also think it would tone down the brightness of the color. As I said, these are just my personal opinions from my own personal experience which I hope can be helpful to everyone. Having said all the above I am VERY pleased with MY outcome. I asked to have the black ring around my eye removed if possible, which now I wished I wouldn't have. It's been 2.5 weeks since my surgery and I'm so glad I had this done. Dr. Movshovich is absolutely amazing! Just remember, there doesn't seem to be a standard of practice yet as this is still "experimental" in many respects but Dr. Movshovich listens to you and personalizes things to your liking as much as he can. I absolutely recommend this procedure.

    I can't express enough the feeling when u see your self after the procedure, it's amazing, the transformation it surreal. There were 3 other guys there the same day of my surgery and we all were very happy and exited whit the result, they look so good on them!! I Just got it done yesterday and the surgery took aproxímate 20min max and I feel great today, just small sensibility to the light, but there is not redness or any other complication at all. Now that I had done it, I can understand and appreciate better Dr Movshowvick skills and experience, not just on how he explained everting and answer all your questions, Is the result, like a work of art! I'm usually picky or tend to by a bit difficult on what I ask for ( in terms of the color I wanted ) and he went above and beyond to give what I asked for! If you are hesitant or not very sure to do it, don't be, you will be in very good hands, the whole experience was very very pleasant, the staff are super nice, they do take care of you and u feel it, from the beginning to the end. The only regret I have, is not had it done 10yr ago!

A few weeks ago, during my daily Manhattan mayhem, I started to notice that the street signs and subway arrows seemed to blur together. 95th and Broadway started to read 9th & Bradway; I was even having trouble making out the prices on the Dunkin Donuts menu not that it matters because after multiple trips to and from America's favorite coffee chain store, I've got most of their products memorized. After days of experiencing on again, off again blurry vision, I knew it was time to make the dreaded eye doctor appointment. I say "dreaded" because my experience with eye doctors in the past was just that. When I was younger I was diagnosed with a lazy eye, so was in and out of eye doctors until I grew out of the problem. From the age of about 6 to 16 my nose was pinched under a pair of glasses, and my eyes were poked, teased and dilated year after year. I had not visited an eye doctor in about 8 years and hoped whatever was causing my blurred vision could be easily treated. I began to cruise around my insurances website, looking for an eye doctor who was in walking distance of my apartment so that I could avoid giving the MTA any more of my hard earned income. I quickly came across a 315 Central Park West office, conveniently located on my side of town. I gave the office a call and because I needed to see someone after 3pm, was told to schedule with Dr. Robert Auerbach. I came to find that Dr. Auerbach only treats patients in the Upper West Side office on Tuesdays and Thursdays. His hours are wonderful for us working class individuals because unlike many offices in New York he has later availability. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Auerbach at 4:00 and after my usual chaotic day at work rushed myself to the office. I arrived to 315 Central Park West, early and had a moment to take in the incredible building. The building is beautiful, my first thought was "so this is what Cinderlla's Castle looked like". The building is made up of some offices and apartments, and I thought to myself if you don't work in this building....what do you have to do to live in it? Anyway, I entered Dr. Auerbach's office early, and was able to be seen almost immediately. There was zero wait time. His office assistant was warm and friendly and Dr. Auerbach was just as charming. I was quickly thrown back to my 6 year old self, when Dr. Auerbach pointed me in the direction of the bear like 'eye exam chair'. However, the exam itself was nothing like what I had experienced before. Dr. Auerbach did not just throw my head back and squirt a bunch of chemicals in my eyes; instead he sat down with me like an old friend, and truly listened to what I was experiencing. We even went over my family health history as well. When Dr. Auerbach did exam my eyes he did so carefully, and listened to my concerns about having my pupils dilated. I was afraid the dilation would affect my vision and had a writing assignment to complete that evening, Dr. Aurbach respected my concerns, and was careful to move quickly to get me in and out of the office in order to allot enough time for my eyes to go back to normal. Dr. Auerbach diagnosed what was wrong with my eyes, and I was happy to learn that it's nothing a few hot compresses and a little bit relaxation can't cure. Dr. Auerbach coached me on how I have great vision but some slight inflammation in my eyes, and explained that we should try the holistic approach, instead of going ahead and prescribing a bunch of eye drops. He did not push me into a prescription of any kind, or a procedure of any kind. Instead, just gave me tips on what I can do at home to improve the condition. Dr. Auerbach is very knowledgeable, courteous, and has a very warm personality. He takes his time to listen and understand any and all of your concerns and does not just shove a bunch of machinery in your face and tell you to read through it. I also observed Dr. Auerbach speak with other patients and you can sense how much he really cares and loves his job. Scheduling with Dr. Auerbach is a real treat that your eyes will Thank You for.

I am incandescent with…read morerage at the abysmal quality of communication, follow-up, incomplete and incorrect instructions, and the overall lack of professionalism dealing with Dr. Ilan Cohen and his staff. First encounter: Ilan Cohen walks into the examination room, greets me by my first name, and introduces himself as "Dr. Cohen." I am a senior citizen, a woman and also hold a Ph.D., so I'm a doctor, too. I bit my tongue and did not insist he address me as Dr. [Surname], but should have. It was a tip-off to subsequent arrogant and disrespectful behavior. After agreeing to cataract surgery, I received an 11-page binder of information, including a form for surgical clearance to be completed by my primary care physician. I made an appointment for a check-up within the allotted timeframe and my PCP submitted the form. A full three weeks later, Cohen's office calls to say they won't perform the surgery unless my PCP submits EKG results. Nowhere was an EKG mentioned in pre-surgical information packet, in oral instructions, or most importantly on the form my PCP was required to fill out and sign. Less than a week before the surgery, I am compelled to upend my schedule for an urgent EKG tomorrow. I told Cohen's office that because none of this was communicated until after the fact (weeks after), I expect any co-pay from the additional PCP appointment to be deducted from my surgical fee. Cohen's office manager countered with, "Is this a request or a demand?" I replied that, since she put it that way, it's a demand. This is an egregious waste of my time, my PCP's time, and there was zero mention of an EKG. This remains unresolved. Multiple times, I was told a prescription for the eye drops I am required to use for three days prior to surgery would be called into my pharmacy one week before the procedure (i.e. today). This has been in my calendar for weeks. By 3 p.m., my pharmacy had not received a prescription. As recently as this morning, it was confirmed by Cohen's office that prescriptions would be called in today. So I called the office back and was told no, my prescriptions would not be called in until Friday, a contradiction to what they confirmed multiple times. I must begin using these medications on _Friday morning_. The office told me prescriptions are not called in until after 5 p.m. Were the prescriptions to be called in late on Friday, there's no way could I begin taking the medication on schedule for a Monday procedure. [Update: Prescriptions were called in. One medication is out of stock. Had they waited until Friday, there'd be no time to fill it prior to surgery.] All this back-and-forth is by phone. I have begged Cohen's office to text or email me. They say they cannot. In a world in which the majority of medical providers use a portal to communicate with patients, Cohen's office calls...and calls...and calls. They call when I'm in the subway, in an elevator, in a meeting, and at midnight when I'm seven time zones away. It's not as if the guy doesn't have a budget for digital, he just doesn't use it for the benefit of patients or staff. Instead he churns out video after video (60 and counting on YouTube, all SEO optimized to the hilt) to reassure patients that he's great, his skills are fantastic, and cataract surgery with him is a walk in the park. In reality, it's a master class in appalling communication, colossal inconvenience, and gaslighting (starting with the fake-academic name of his outfit). My level of anxiety and distress dealing with this shitshow is sky high. I must now make a hard decision. If I cancel the surgery, insurance won't agree to start at square one with another ophthalmologist. I'll need pre-surgical clearance yet again, also not free. It would take months of additional time and boatloads more money than I've already committed to this absolute fiasco.

    Rating: 5/5 Stars -- The Gold Standard of Patient Care…read more I've always been impressed when a practice maintains a near-perfect 5-star rating with hundreds of reviews, and after my EVO ICL surgery, I finally saw firsthand why they are so highly decorated. From the moment you step through the door, the experience is absolute concierge-level service. The logistics and booking were incredibly efficient, but it's the people who truly set this place apart: Yari and Briana: They were my rocks throughout the entire pre- and post-op process. They checked in on me so frequently and with such genuine care that any nerves I had completely vanished. I never felt like just another chart; I felt looked after. Cortes: Took the time to dive into the "why" and "how." I walked away with a deep understanding of the ICL fit, my candidacy, and exactly what to look out for. Dr. Brissette: Simply an amazing surgeon. She talked to me throughout the entire procedure, which was incredibly calming. Her confidence and decisive nature made me feel safe and comfortable in a situation that is normally quite intimidating. It is clear that this culture of excellence starts at the top and trickles down to every staff member. Their bedside manner is unmatched, and it's obvious that the patient's comfort is their primary mission. They even went above and beyond to ensure I was fully recovered and ready for my wedding day, which was the goal we had been working toward from the start. This was the best surgical experience I've ever had. If you're considering eye surgery, this is the only place to go.

    Very disappointing experience…read more Before arriving, I called to inform the office that I would be running late and specifically asked if I would still be able to see the doctor. I was told that it would not be a problem. However, when I arrived, I was suddenly told that I would need to reschedule. No one contacted me in advance even though they were aware that I might be late. According to the hospital's appointment system, the visit is listed as 15 minutes. When I arrived, I was unexpectedly told that the appointment would take 2 hours, yet no one could clearly explain why. If the appointment actually requires two hours, it raises the question of why I could not be seen the same day after confirming my arrival. The 15-minute late policy does not seem to be applied consistently, and there appeared to be little effort to help or find a reasonable solution. While trying to understand the situation, I asked several polite questions but unfortunately did not receive clear answers. At one point I briefly took a photo of the area, making sure not to photograph any patients or front desk staff. I was then told that photography is not allowed due to a sign prohibiting it, however no such sign was visible anywhere. Overall, the experience felt very disorganized and unhelpful.
