    How do they treat dry eye when doing cataract surgery?

    For optimal outcomes, it is usually best for dry eye to be identified and managed both before and after cataract surgery. If you have more questions, I encourage you to call our office.

    Finally had enough harassment by the Billing Department of the Eye Clinic of Bellevue…read more Even though I had eyelid surgery, scheduled in a few weeks, to correct inadequately done surgery from last year, I walked away from this fine medical clinic. Then the Billing Department started sending DUNNING texts to me at all hours of the day, night and even on weekends. When I called and asked for the bill, the clerk said, "oh it has not been sent out yet". The last straw was getting a DUNNING text in the middle of dinner last week at 7PM stating I owed $20. None of these HUGE amounts of $100 and of $20 dollars had even been billed and even going by the DUNNING texts were over 16 days old. The Eye Clinic of Bellevue has lost a loyal (VERY PROFITABLE $32K for two droopy eyelids) patient due these OUTRAGEOUS billing tactics! I have let all of my friends, associates and clients to avoid this crazy place that practices sending DUNNING for bills not even sent out. I can only imagine what they do if someone is actually late.

    I am not surprised to see the negative experiences of other patients relating to the questionable…read morebusiness practices of Eye Clinic of Bellevue. There is a remarkable and disturbing difference between the tone of initial intake giving a false sense of security about the quality of their care compared to post surgical treatment, aftercare, and billing issues. After what seemed an excessive number of "required" pre- and post-surgery appointments during which I was told all was fine in spite of my describing some vision issues, I was then told that I needed additional surgery to correct my previous surgery. After making immediate and full payment of bills upon receipt, I began to get text messages and paper billings with conflicting balances due and insurance denial notices because they kept billing the wrong carrier. I made numerous requests for more detailed information relating to their billing practices with no acceptable response and instead of taking responsibility for their lack of response and incorrect billing, they have referred what they say is an account balance of just over $100 to a collection agency which I am currently disputing. Eye surgery is stressful, time consuming and costly. Now that I know the true priorities of the Eye Clinic of Bellevue, there is no way I would ever entrust them with my vision again and I have told family, friends and business associates about my negative experience which has been extremely disappointing and frustrating.

However, it was 11:30 AM and I still had not been seen by the doctor. I had clearly informed the front desk that I needed to leave by 11:30, yet there was no meaningful update or accommodation. If a practice expects patients to strictly honor appointment times and threatens financial penalties for delays or cancellations, there should be the same level of respect for patients' time. Communication about delays and better schedule management would go a long way. I understand that medical offices can run behind occasionally, but a full hour without being seen -- especially after stressing punctuality in reminder messages -- is not acceptable. I hope Overlake EyeCare takes patient time as seriously as it expects patients to take theirs.

    Sharp Vision in Renton and Bellevue, Washington, is absolutely FANTASTIC…read more I called them on June 9 and was able to get in the very next morning at 9:00. I went through the preliminary testing and explained what I wanted. I wanted monovision because I had done that before with contacts, and they told me, "Yes, we can do that." They put me through the testing, and the next day I met with the surgeon. He said, "Sure, we can do this for you. No sweat." That was exactly what I needed to hear. I was scheduled for the following Tuesday for my first eye, had the procedure done, and went back the next day for the follow-up. Everything was healing nicely. The one thing I really want to say is that everybody -- the doctors, the receptionists, the scheduling staff, the people on the phone, everyone -- was FANTASTIC. This outfit is the greatest. If you need eye surgery, LASIK, cataract surgery, or anything else Sharp Vision provides, do yourself the biggest favor and go there first. I highly, highly recommend Sharp Vision for all of your eye care needs.

    I gave 2 stars because of the billing experience. Dr. Schmidt was wonderful, and the surgery nurses…read morehad excellent bedside manner. They made me feel comfortable throughout the procedure. Before my surgery, I was quoted a price weeks in advance and paid it in full. Unfortunately, I wasn't a candidate for LASIK, which was disappointing, but Dr. Schmidt was able to perform the procedure manually instead. Since the LASIK portion wasn't done, I was told the procedure should have cost about $2,000 less. At my follow-up appointment, I didn't see Dr. Schmidt. Instead, I saw another doctor after waiting nearly 40 minutes for an exam that lasted less than five minutes. When I asked about the $2,000 difference, I was told that I actually owed an additional $900 because a deductible had been applied after my original quote. This was extremely frustrating. If I had been informed before surgery that my out-of-pocket cost would increase by $900, I could have planned and budgeted accordingly. Instead, I was given one price, paid it upfront, and then was surprised with an unexpected bill afterward. The medical care itself was great, but the lack of transparency and communication about billing left me very disappointed.
