After my vision in my left eye was heavily compromised by a cataract, I went to a local eye surgeon hoping to have cataract surgery. When he told me I had significant adhesions (synechiae) and a membrane in that eye that had stuck part of my lens to my iris and would complicate my surgery, it seemed to me as though he didn't have much experience in dealing with a situation like that. So I decided to go to a complex cataract expert at a renowned and highly respected eye clinic, expecting to be reassured that he could handle it. But he shocked and frightened me by explaining that my adhesions were so extensive that there was a very good chance my surgery would fail. "Don't worry," he added, "if that happens you can have a more extensive surgery or surgeries to fix it." This doctor talked at such great length about failure that my apprehension grew, and he also refused to give me any idea what my chances of success might be, or what those extra surgeries might involve. I felt lost. I did a lot of online research to discover if there was an alternative for me, and after a great deal of searching I located Dr. Devgan. Reading about him at his website, and reading so many enthusiastic reviews from people who had had other complicated situations whom he had helped, gave me heart and hope. I resolved to go to Los Angeles and see him. I was fortunate to obtain an appointment only about three weeks from my call. Everyone working at Dr. Devgan's office was friendly efficient, and upbeat. At my consultation, Dr. Devgan spoke with quiet assurance, saying that the surgery was something he could do. He gave me a sense of peace and confidence. I realized there were still dangers and risks, but I felt that I had gone to the best person possible to deal with a delicate surgery. I had my surgery a month ago, and so far (knock wood!) my vision is transformed, sharp and clear in that eye. Dr. Devgan was also extremely responsive and accessible. It really is true that he does answer emails and calls in a very timely fashion. I'm not sure how he does it - does the man sleep? - but it is another facet of his superior patient care. Words really can't suffice to thank him enough. read more

Wildly impressed. In this day of assembly line medicine, Dr. Devgan took the time to explain the procedure, options and benefits of each, what to expect, etc.; all in a very conversational, personal manner. He very quickly responded to emails with answers to questions, extremely responsive. I felt confident in my decisions and unworried. In fact, I came to see this not as a disease, but as an upgrade opportunity. Results were absolutely as promised, I have crystal clear vision, better than I have had at anytime in my life. Previous comments about staff are right on: friendly, caring, and professional. Facilities are amazing and Dr. Devgan's experience with technology and techniques is very apparent and clearly at the forefront. I highly recommend Dr. Devgan. read more

Doctor Devgan performed cataract surgery and now my vision is 20/20! No need for glasses, ever! The operation is quick and, for me, a relief to say "goodbye" to contacts and glasses. He is impressive and truly one of the best in his field, solid credentials and very good at taking the time to communicate the procedure. I feel lucky and love this "miracle" of great eyesight.

Dr. Devgan is absolutely the BEST in 360 degrees. He is my 10-star doctor. Besides being an extremely skilled surgeon, I find he is also a very kind, caring and diligent doctor based on my recent (June 2022) cataract surgery experience with Dr. Devgan and his awesome team. I'm a high-risk patient with high myopia (-16D) and always feel nervous going for eye exam. At the measurement visit, Dr. Devgan showed me the machine calculations and explained it's a little bit off for high myopia patients. He'll use a software to recalculate again for accuracy. The software uses the actual patient's data sent to the database by eye surgeons across the nations. Dr Devgan is the owner of the software. Dr. Devgan recommended a target vision and explained why. It's different from the target I had in mind. I chose to go with my target at the visit since I've thought about the target I want for so long. Dr. Devgan said he'll do my target and I can change mind anytime. Later on, I realized doctor's recommendation is better and emailed Dr. Devgan to change the target. Looking back now, I'm glad I changed to the target that's recommended by the doctor. My vision now exceeds my expectation! I feel Dr. Devgan make the tough decision process easier on patient's end, while take extra efforts at his end. Although I live in Texas while Dr. Devgan is in California, I feel I have the doctor close to me as I can email him anytime. He responded to my emails quickly every time. He also gave me his cell phone number for me to text/call him for urgent matter. I didn't have the need to use that. At the surgery day, Dr. Devgan greeted me and confirmed with me the target vision we want to achieve before going to the operating room. In the operating room, I recall the nurse read out loudly the lens manufacture, power for double checking within the operating team. I like the professional due diligence they do. Dr. Devgan gave me eye drops and guided me to see the center of the lights. I don't recall anything after that. I like to commend Dr. Devgan's patient coordinator Jodi. She scheduled the appointments to make it easier on my end, even considering the traffic. She called me several times to remind me various things, including stop using the yellow bottle eye drop two weeks after the surgery, although the written pre-operation and post-operation instruction is already very clear and informative. In a word, she is awesome! I was suffering from vision problems and wanted to have cataract surgery since 2015, but fear for complication. If you like me, a high-risk patient, I strongly suggest you to go see Dr. Devgan no matter where you live. It took me two trips to complete the journey. My husband and I both feel it's absolutely worth and is one of the best decisions we have ever made. Thank you so much, Dr. Devgan and your awesome team!! read more

Dr. Devgan is quite simply extraordinary, for his expertise, his skill, his commitment to patients. The doctor performed cataract surgery on both my husband and me. The experience was truly exceptional from start to finish. Dr. Devgan's team initiated us with professional and state-of-the art care, that truly demonstrated their consideration of us as patients. Jodi Ojeda patiently and explicitly explained the entire process of the surgery, before and after-care. We left the office with clearly written directions on both. Dr. Devgan has succeeded in making the experience of cataract removal one that flows in a way that reveals his understanding of the concerns of patients and what needs to be accomplished. My husband and I are both enjoying our 20-20 vision. The surgery, in the hands of Dr. Devgan, has improved the quality of our lives. read more

On a scale of 1 to 10, it is a definite 10 for Dr. Uday Devgan. It all started on the dreaded day when I failed my DMV vision test. Later, a visit to a local ophthalmologist checked and confirmed that I had cataracts in both eyes. What a sinking feeling, that I not only had cataracts but dense brunescent cataracts. I realized I could no longer hold on to my birth given original lenses and I did not want to go blind eventually, if they were left untreated. Having heard from friends how well and easy cataracts surgeries are, I went with a local doctor to remove the cataract in my left eye. What a big mistake! I was in pain. My operated left eye was red and my vision blurry for many weeks. Months have passed and I still have lingering ache in my left eye and other issues. I asked myself and my husband, "Now what? I have got one more eye to go. I cannot let the mediocre doctor operate on my right eye." I need to find the best doctor. I decided to research further. I Googled and found Dr. Uday Devgan. I read about him and his written articles on Dense Brunescent cataracts. Additionally, I found his videos on YouTube and his interviews online. I knew I had to meet Dr. Devgan and let him fix my right eye. I called to make appointment and his receptionist was polite and friendly. Appointment day arrived and we walked into his office. Front desk staff greeted us warmly. His office is immaculately clean and they take your temperature and make you wash your hands immediately, due to Covid19. After a technician checked my eyes with a room full of instruments that were out of Star Trek, we met Dr. Devgan. He was professional and friendly. He showed me images of my eyes and explained about my remaining dense cataract and how he would remove it with his specially designed instruments. He also helped me pick the right corrective lens. His knowledge, expertise and vast experience gave me comfort and confidence. On June 15, my scheduled surgery went extremely well. The surgical center was very clean. The attending anesthesiologist and nurse were very warm and friendly. Of course the talented, good-humored surgeon, Dr. Devgan was right there, by my side, telling me jokes to ease my mind. The operation on my right eye went by like a breeze. There was no pain, swelling or inflammation in my eye. Immediately, after a few hours I could see clearly, beautiful, vivid colors that I have missed and forgotten. The next day, a follow-up visit with Dr. Devgan confirmed I have crystal clear vision of 20/20. Hooray! My right eye vision is really wonderful. The bad thing is, I can see every wrinkle and flaws on my face now (probably need a different kind of dr. now, haha). I have been bragging to friends and family about Dr. Devgan. His friendly interaction with his patients is first class! Without a doubt, he has a great passion for EYES. I am so grateful that I found Dr. Devgan. Thank you, Dr. Devgan and your entire staff. read more

I was referred to Dr. Devgan by my optometrist and I cannot thank him enough for that. From my first meeting with Dr. Devgan he was a reassuring confident presence with a joyful outlook on his work. We meticulously went over which lenses to use, the surgery itself and the end results. After the effortless, painless surgery and great results I can say that I've already recommended Dr. Devgan to one friend already who is in need of cataract surgery. read more

As always Dr. Devgan could not have been more personal and more outgoing to solving the problem with my vision. Having had cataract surgery about 4 years ago I had developed some scar tissue on my eyes which was limiting my vision. And what I thought was going to involve another surgery Dr. Devgan calmly reassured me it was a common occurence and easily fixed with a laser touch up to the lens in my eye that cleaned up the scar tissue within 3 brief minutes and restored my clear vision. A week later the same was done to my other eye and I could not be happier. Dr. Devgan has a warm and friendly manner with all his patients, as I have always observed when I've had to visit his office. Can't reccomend him enough. He's a wonderful man as well as a wonderful doctor. read more

You won't find a more highly skilled eye surgeon or a nicer guy than Dr. Devgan. I went from wearing progressive eyeglasses from morning till bedtime to reading, working on the computer and driving with no need for glasses after my cataract surgery byDr.Devgan. He made sure I understood everything about my surgery and the pan optic lens I chose. Surgery itself took about fifteen minutes, was painless and recovery was very fast. If I haven't convinced you yet, how about this, he gives you his email and if you have a question he will respond that day, often within the hour! What doctor does this? I have never been sad to see a Dr. For the last time before but when I walked out of my post op appt. with Dr. Devgan (with 20/10 vision) I was sorry to say goodbye. read more

It's taken me almost 5 months to write this review following my left eye surgery with Dr Devgan. The reason is that I wanted to be 100% convinced that I was completely satisfied and that my eye was functioning correctly with enough time to heal. I am a 30 year old who was very long-sighted in both eyes and was informed that laser surgery would not be the best option for me. I decided to go with intraocular lens surgery. I am a very special case for reviewing Dr Devgan and that's because I've had the rare opportunity to experience 2 completely different eye surgeons. I can compare the work of 2 surgeons who take the top positions on Yelp.  So if you're picking between Dr Paul C Lee (CCRS) and Dr Devgan I suggest to go for Dr Devgan and DO NOT hesitate. He may be more expensive but he is the best and here's why I believe that to be the truth.. I had my first eye surgery in 2018 with Dr Paul C Lee (CCRS). I wanted to do one eye at a time to make sure I was happy with the process of healing. The experience with this surgery left me pretty terrified to commit to doing surgery on my left eye later down the line. The cost for this surgery with Dr Lee was $4.5k. During the surgery with Dr Lee there was no anesthetist. I didn't realize that an anesthetist would be so important to feeling calm and at ease - something that Dr Devgan factors into his surgery (read further on for why this is important). The day of the surgery Dr Lee and his assistants forgot to offer me any Valium until the very last moment when I had to ask for it myself having waited hours for my time to be operated on. During this time I had to drop different eye drops in my eye and sign some papers. Then I was led into a room that had a chair and a light above it but the Valium hadn't even kicked in yet. I found the procedure to be excruciatingly uncomfortable and I whimpered throughout the 20-25min operation. I clenched my whole body with anxiety. I wouldn't feel any pain thanks to the drops but I was completely terrified being fully awake and aware. After that surgery Dr Lee noticed that he had missed the mark to correct my vision. He needed to slightly adjust using laser surgery which isn't abnormal to miss the mark. The laser surgery was another quite intense albeit super short procedure. But I did think that it was unfortunate that more work had to be done on that eye. The next day my eye fogged up a little and Dr Lee  used another laser technique to zap those areas of cloudiness away which is something that can happen I was warned. Since then that eye has the ability to see, however, the eye is slightly overcorrected and I'm also left with a large floater which is VERY annoying and hasn't disappeared 2 years later.  I am told there's nothing much they can do about the floater and that these things can occur. It's quite annoying and the floater moves around the eye like a large dirty / greasy patch in my eye whenever I look in different directions. About 2 years later (Aug 2020) and the floater hasn't disappeared. The urge to get my left eye done increased but after being dissatisfied by my experience with Dr Lee I sought the advice of my eye doctor who suggested I meet DR DEVGAN 'the best eye surgeon in the world' according to my eye doctor. Dr Devgan charged $400 (approx) for a consultation, this seemed like a lot of money but I had done my research and he seemed VERY VERY qualified to work on my eye. I met with him and brought along my records from Dr Lee's surgery. I was thrilled that Dr Devgan was confident that he could do a much better job and I was comforted by him telling me that I had found the right place. Thank god! I felt like I was in the right hands finally. I booked my operation for the next week and was given eye drops to take leading up to that day. I was so excited! On the day of the surgery with Dr Devgan and I was seen almost straight away when I entered the building. There was a lovely team working with Dr Devgan who made me feel so relaxed and happy! The anesthetist used Twilight anesthesia on me so I was SUPER SUPER calm and relaxed the whole way through. It was bliss!!! I couldn't believe how quick the surgery took. It felt like less than 8mins and the recovery only took like a day!! I was even more happy when I met Dr Devgan the next day. He got much closer to hitting the right mark in getting my prescription almost on point. I can see very well and I'm so grateful that I found this guy! Don't  save money when your eyes are involved. You will get the quality of service with Dr Dvegan read more

Dr. Devgan is an amazing surgeon. Fine bedside manners, made me feel confident & relaxed about having Cataracts removed in both eyes. Surgery was quick, no pain, I'm recovering now. Can't believe how beautiful, full of color this world is. Clear and splendid vision the following day & sharper vision every day. No irritation, don't feel anything in my eyes. Only joy, that Dr. Devgan has blessed my life with amazing clarity & I love the colors that bring happiness to each day. Thank you read more

With only a short window of time to have cataract surgery due to my personal circumstances, Dr. Devgan efficiently conducted a complete analysis of my eyes, gave an explicit diagnosis, and then offered clear and factual information about my choices, using well-designed informational videos. His outstanding track record, clearly communicated knowledge, and state-of-the art equipment made me trust him fully. Along with his genuine care and support for my situation, his staff was professional and reassuring. My surgery was a success with fantastic life-changing results! read more

Dr.Devgan was awesome! He gave excellent patient care and was helpful and humorous. He was really thoughtful in planning out my surgery and I felt very comfortable with our plan. He is great at explaining things taking the time to answer any questions. I have great vision now and healing is going well. I would highly recommend Dr Devgan! read more

After much research, I chose Dr. Devgan for my cataract surgeries. I had RK over thirty years ago and wanted a surgeon who had the most experience treating my particular difficulties including corneal irregularities and scar tissue, and hyperopia (gradual shift toward farsightedness) that had gotten so bad that one of my eyes was very farsighted and the other nearsighted. I had been unable to read a book for 2 years because prescription glasses could not correct this problem adequately. Dr. Devgan was straight forward during my initial consult and said that I might not get 20/20 correction from the cataract surgeries. He actually suggested under correcting a slight bit to compensate for the continuing hyperopia that would probably continue slowly over the years. I told him that I would not be dissatisfied with having to wear glasses as long as I could improve my vision. I could not be happier with the results of the surgeries. I truly believe that it was due to Dr. Devgan's expertise that my vision was able to be fully corrected even with my difficult case. Thank you once again Dr. Devgan! read more

Dr. Devgan came highly recommended. And was more than justified. He operated on both my parents for cataract surgery. His professionalism combined with his bedside manner were impeccable which certainly is important when you are trusting someone with your parent's vision and eye surgery. I cannot possibly thank him enough and I couldn't imagine trusting anyone more with dangerous and important eye surgeries for people I love. read more

I was referred to Dr. Devgan by a colleague whose eyes were greatly improved through his care. He performed two cataract surgeries and lens implants. for me My vision has improved tremendously, and I no longer wear glasses which is wonderful. Dr. Devgan is extremely professional and provides the most current procedures and expertise. His reassuring and caring manner make him exceptional. The office staff is helpful, informed, and excellent as well. I highly recommend Dr. Devgan for any ophthalmological needs. read more

excellent care. my only regret is not doing it sooner. dr. devgan explains everything and shows you whats going on.

I chose Dr Uday Devgan to perform my eye cataract surgery because of my husband's wonderful experience with Dr Devgan four years ago. Since my hubby had used the prescription drug Flomax, we were advised by our local ophthalmologist that Flomax could cause eye complications for my hubby when having cataract surgery. So, our ophthalmologist had referred hubby to Dr Devgan because he had expertise with that situation. Dr Devgan's surgery on both of my hubby's eyes was very successful and without any complications. Now four years later when I was diagnosed with cataracts in both of my eyes, I too chose Dr Devgan even though I would need to travel 25 miles (50 miles round trip) farther to see Dr Devgan than if I were to see a local eye surgeon closer to my home in Santa Clarita, California. Dr Devgan examined my eyes, and his technician performed numerous tests and scans of my eyes. Dr Devgan then showed me close-up computer images of the cataracts in my eyes, and explained his proposed procedure in detail. Initially, I was nervous and fearful about having the cataract eye surgery with trifocal lens implant in both eyes that would be done one week apart. However, Dr Devgan educated me on what to expect, which alleviated my fears and helped me feel at ease. He has a lovely modern office, friendly and helpful staff, an awesome high-tech surgery center with ample parking. Plus he has lots of information and illustrations on his website. Whenever I had a question, Dr Devgan allowed me to email him directly, or call his direct cell phone ... and Dr Devgan actually answered! Dr Devgan's surgery on my eyes was quick, easy, painless, and successful. He is highly skilled, friendly, and comforting. Everything about the experience was top-notch. I now have 20-20 vision and can see perfectly without wearing eyeglasses! From my perspective, Dr Devgan is the Rockstar of Eye Surgeons! read more

Dr Devgan did my cataract surgery many years ago. At that time he was associated with Dr Maloney. I suffer from extreme myopia and he took care to discuss the risks and options available to me. I am extremely pleased with the results and the service and attention I received from his office. read more

I am a recent East coast transplant to San Diego, CA with a long history of procedures with my eyes. Most recent being a couple vitrectomies in my right eye to repair a retina tear and a macular hole by Dr. Mark Johnson (another excellent surgeon with The Retina Group of Washington). Dr. Johnson referred me to a San Diego retina practice for my retina care and advised me due to my eye's history I will be needing cataract surgery soon after. With several failed attempts at scheduling a visit with a local cataract surgeon, I began researching and doing my own due diligence on cataracts and cataract surgery when I came across Dr. Uday Devgan. From all the information I learned about Dr. Devgan, his academic history, his contributions back to his LA community by leading the Ophthalmology program at UCLA, OV, his teaching engagements, and all the positive reviews and feedback from his peers and patients, the more confident I know I made the correct decision selecting him as my cataract surgeon. From start to finish, my experience was excellent. Dr. Devgan's passion for his field transcends every aspect of his work: from the great staff at his private practice and surgical center, to the inviting environment created at both sites, to innovative techniques and tools, and to spending time to share his excitement and knowledge with patients and students. Dr. Devgan is a top notch surgeon and individual. Thank you. With highest regards, -michael read more

A wonderful doctor and a wonderful center! All the employees were nice and professional. Dr. Devgan was extremely involved and patient, taking the time to thoroughly answer all the questions we had for him, whether in-person or via email. The surgery and recovery process went smoothly and painlessly. Great! read more

Dr. Devgan was highly recommended by my trusted 25 year retina specialist, an associate professor at UCLA's Stein Eye. He said Dr. Devgan "is the best". He is. Everyone at his office is happy. They are wonderful with patients. Why? Because every patient is thrilled with his outstanding care and results. Patients love coming to his office. I only have one functioning eye. He treated it and me as if his life and mine depended on it. I'm a lawyer and read for a living. My vision is better than ever. He put me at ease at all times. He sat with me before the procedure and talked me through it. At the follow up he said my vision would keep getting better. It has. Now I see details and brilliant colors like never before. And I don't need glasses to text or email. Dr. Devgan IS amazing. read more

Thank you Dr. Devgan. I love my new eyes. This was the best decision I made and thank you for guiding me through it and for the excellent outcome. I appreciate the talent and skills that you bring into your work and I am grateful for having received it. read more

Dr. Uday Devgan and the staff: Reception, technical, financial, surgery: Any way you look at these guys, they are five stars each! I found myself needing a second opinion and Dr. Devgan provided expertise and reassurance I needed to proceed with lens replacements due to cataracts. The surgery is quick, painless and life changing! The entire process at LA Sight and Specialty Surgery Center went without a hitch and I have remarkably excellent vision!! Thanks you guys!! read more

Dr. Devgan is a superstar. Extremely knowledgeable and genuinely interested in helping you achieve better vision. Dr. Devgan came referred to me as he specializes in more complex cataract cases and sure enough he did an excellent job with my cataract procedure which came out flawless. I am very appreciative for his help and him to anyone. read more

I did a lot of research before I chose Dr. Devgan. He's Chief of Ophthalmology at Olive View-UCLA Medical Ctr. He's an inventor of eye surgical tools with patents to his name. His impressive list of credentials goes on and on. He has lots of instructional videos for doctors on Youtube. He's easy to access online, a super friendly relaxed guy who asked me to call him by his first name and answers all emails, and is very passionate about his work. I saw two other surgeons before seeing Dr. Devgan, and went through their eval process. Neither had as modern equipment as Dr. Devgan. Dr. Devgan had fabulous before and after photos of my eyes. Dr. Devgan noticed things about my eyes and vision that neither of the other doctors mentioned. Dr. Devgan gave me the details of his approach to my more complex situation in an email so I could understand it. His office is lovely, clean, classy etc. Everyone is super nice and accommodating and the paperwork was quick and simple. The surgery took place at a small surgical center in Beverly Hills. The surgical staff was organized and pleasant. You have your own nurse and anesthesiologist. A friend can come in with you while you are prepped. Then they wheel you in to the surgery room. By then you are feeling wonderful from the anesthesia. They take control of your eye so you don't have to worry about blinking. I saw some lights above my eye and what appeared to be multi-colored marbles rolling around for a while. It seemed like 4 minutes but it must have been longer. I didn't feel a thing. Then they rolled me back into the surgery prep room. They gave me some apple juice and sat me up and let me wait until I was ready to walk out. The 2nd surgery was a little different - I don't remember seeing the colored marbles - only some white lights. Also this time I noticed the sensation of something propping my eye-lid open for a moment. And after that I remembered even less and it seemed to be over even quicker. Of course you feel nothing as your eye is fully anesthetized. In both surgeries I had acrylic toric lenses implanted to correct my nearsightedness and astigmatism. I need reading glasses for paper and monitors up close - just the same as when I wore contacts. I can usually squint to make out text if glasses aren't handy. When I got home from the first surgery I noticed all sorts of interesting things. The sky in the fixed eye was blue - and the right eye that hadn't had the surgery yet - the sky was tan-colored. For 3 days before the surgery and 7 days after you do a bunch of eye drops throughout the day. Then there's one drop you continue with at night for 3 more weeks. They need to be kept cool but not freezing. Check instructions on each eye drop as they are all different. I kept mine in a portable cooler with some ice as our fridge was too cold for one of them. I now have 20/20 vision. Thank you so much Dr. Devgan and staff! read more

Dr. Devgan is a great surgeon who uses the newest and best lasers on his clients. I had lasik performed last year and still have perfect vision. He's very thorough on all of his follow up appointments to make sure your eyes are healing correctly. Before Lasik he explains every step of the process to you in words you can understand and makes you feel very comfortable. He's not the cheapest option out there, but why in the world would you go cheap on a procedure involving your EYES?! I can't believe some of my friends excited to purchase Groupons for half off lasik performed by inexperienced doctors who use out of date equipment. Dr. Devgan is worth every dollar. He's the doctor that other eye doctors turn to when they want lasik. That says a lot. I would recommend Dr. Devgan to my family and friends. read more

Before I tell you how wonderful Dr. Devgan is, let me start with why I sought him out in the first place. A small piece of steel became lodged in my cornea and caused a rust ring to form around it. A local eye doctor who removed the foreign body was unable to remove the rust because he said it was too deep. It shocked me when I was told that the ring would probably remain there for the rest of my life! This was very discouraging because the resulting loss of visual acuity made the close-up work I do for a living difficult. I knew of Dr. Devgan because he performed my wife's cataract surgery with excellent results. The LA Sight office worked with me to find a cancelled appointment that I could fill in order to see Dr. Devgan more quickly. At the time of my appointment, I was unsettled and apprehensive because of the bleak prognosis I had been given earlier. I don't know how to really explain this, but all those emotions melted away soon after Dr. Devgan personally led me back to an examination room. He has a gentle confidence that immediately puts you at ease. He unhurriedly and simply explained each part of the examination before proceeding. I felt like his most important patient and I believe at that moment I truly was. I knew I was in very good hands. After he performed an examination of my eye under high magnification, he shared pictures of my eye on a computer monitor and carefully explained the situation. After precisely measuring the depth of the injury and the thickness of my cornea using state-of-the-art equipment, he told me that he could remove the rust ring right then and there. The procedure was short and not unpleasant in the least. Dr. Devgan's words of encouragement and progress during the surgery were very soothing and relaxing; it was easy to stay calm the whole time. I had only slight discomfort afterwards and virtually none the next day. Much more importantly, I could see clearly again from the repaired eye! Having your vision restored is a joyful experience! Thank you so much Dr. Devgan! read more

I've been considering LASIK surgery for years, but was too nervous and uncomfortable with the thought of my eyes being worked on. However, my sight took a turn for the worse over a short period of time, and so I began looking for the right doctor. I have 3 friends that have had LASIK surgery with Dr. Devgan , so I booked an appointment with him. Dr. Devgan is really personable and caring. I felt the most comfortable with him (I had also met with Dr.Maloney). I had the procedure last month and could not be more happy with the results! My eyes were a little dry at first, but that has subsided. read more

Dr Devgan is an exceptional surgeon. He was highly recommended by another Opthamologist, who said that he was truly gifted. My entire experience, from the two surgeries and all of the office visits were exemplary. Additionally, Dr Devgan is the most friendly, knowledgeable and responsive physician I have ever encountered. I have already told friends that if they need eye surgery, Dr Devgan is the physician to use. Jim T read more

Dr. Devgan is wonderful! My initial intake appointment with him was very informative. He also took all the time I needed; it didn't feel at all like he was rushing in or out. His explanation was very clear. And his personality was very warm. It is obvious that he enjoys his work. I will be returning for the other eye when necessary. read more

I was referred to Dr. Devgan regarding a constantly sore eye caused by a cataract surgery that "went wrong". After listening carefully to me, both by phone (he called!) and in his clinic, his examination was then reassuringly thorough, and his explanation of what he saw was clear, as was his carefully weighed decision that further surgery would not be advisable at this time. The fact that he understood why the eye was hurting was information I had not clearly received before, and as everyone well knows, is always a great start in learning to live with such problems. In addition, he confirmed that the morning redness and inflammation, and perhaps some of the soreness, was doubtless a side-effect from the anti-glaucoma medication Latanoprost, which other opthamologists had suggested, but his confidence and clarity in this assessment, and the underlying chemical/biological reasoning, was more understandable and convincing (I'm a PhD Scientist). Importantly, he recommended that I try a very recently approved drop (Inveltys) and graciously provided a sample of emulsion drops to try to decrease the soreness and inflammation. The great news is that this treatment has worked very well! My eye does not hurt very much anymore and the inflammation/redness is much reduced. This problem has seriously and negatively affected the quality of my daily life, and I am extremely grateful to Dr. Devgan for his excellent and considered care and advice. Again, Dr. Devgan, I (and my wife Gail) thank you, and your excellent staff, so very much for your superb care and treatment. I am so very glad to have visited with you, and now know where to go in future if other difficult eye problems arise! read more

Dr. Devgan is an amazing physician. I was fearful of getting cataract surgery, especially as I have a high prescription and astigmatism, so I put it off as long as possible. However, once I had the consult with Dr. Devgan, I knew this was a doctor I could trust with my eyes. He is upbeat, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable, yet still humble and caring. His passion for his work is inspirational. He clearly loves what he does, and is very experienced, having performed almost 30,000 cataract procedures. II would call him an expert on "all things cataract"; he trains opthalmologists worldwide through his "Cataract Coach" video channel. He also has videos for new patients on his office website, which discuss cataract basics, lens choices, and what to expect the day of surgery, complete with a video walkthrough of the eye surgical center (a truly state of the art facility). These videos were extremely helpful to me. And of course the proof of the pudding, just one day after the procedure, my vision is better than it has ever been in my entire life! Thank you Dr. D! read more

Thank you Dr Devgan for restoring my vision!. I was born with poor eyesight and have struggled with eyeglass and contact lens prescriptions for most of my life. I came to see Dr Devgan for advice on cataract surgery with the possibility of reducing some of my eyeglass prescription. I had no expectations of achieving great vision as I had been told by other cataract surgeons that it wouldn't be possible due to the vision differences between my two eyes. From the moment I met Dr Devgan, I knew he was the surgeon for me. He is a warm, compassionate man who listens to everything you have to say and immediately instills confidence that good results can be achieved. You can't imagine how elated I felt today when Dr Devgan told me he had achieved 20/20 in both my eyes following my final surgery. I feel like I'm seeing the world clearly for the first time in my life thanks to this wonderful man. Dr Devgan and his entire staff are remarkable people who make you feel like you are their top priority all through this process. If you are considering cataract surgery and want to work with the best, I highly recommend Dr Devgan and his staff at LA Sight. You will feel it is one of the best decisions you have ever made. read more

I received PRK in 2013 due to military service and as of now 2020 I still have great eye sight. My astigmatism had to be the absolute worst when I first walked in here. Regardless they still made my eye sight 20/20 and I can never be thankful. Thank you Uday Devgan for definitely making life so much easier! read more

I was referred to Dr Devgan by my friend who is an eye surgeon. He told me he sent his own mother to Dr Devgan and said I must go to him because he has seen him perform Cataract surgery and that he is the best there is. My optometrist had referred me to a different doctor and my friend said he knows the other doctor and Dr Devgan is definitely better. Come to find out later that my optometrist was receiving a referral fee by the other doctor. Dr Devgan is no less than a miracle worker. I had severe cataract and very small eyes and corneas that are very steep making my surgery a difficult one. A day after surgery and I have 20/20 vision without glasses! Which by the way I've never had in my whole life. I feel like I have a new lease on life! Dr Devgan is also the sweetest man! Completely available throughout the whole process. The staff at the surgery center is kind and respectful. I don't know how my experience could have been better. read more

I had a retinal detachment in my right eye so my left eye is how I see the world. When I developed a cataract in that eye, I was terrified. Both my retinal doctors referred me to Uday Devgan. And now I know why. Not only is he a brilliant surgeon but a compassionate and empathetic human being. My surgery was Monday and each day I see the world more vividly. I really can't say enough about him read more

Uday Devgan MD received his medical degree from the prestigious Keck School of Medicine, USC. He is world renowned as a physician and surgeon in addition to being a professor teaching medical students and doctors at Jules Stein Institute UCLA School of Medicine. He also teaches doctors and medical students worldwide across the globe. Dr. Devgan is an outstanding State of the Art Surgeon having great passion and excitement for his work and innovation with new surgical techniques and advancements moving forward in medicine. He absolutely loves what he does; thrives on being at the top of his field and takes great pride in restoring excellent vision for his patients. Cataract surgery was scary as I didn't understand any of it. He has great bedside manner calming fears by explaining what needs to be done; why; along with steps involved and what to expect. It's a painless procedure; takes only day of your surgery to rest your eye.There is no eye patch post-surgery necessary. You begin seeing perfectly and vividly almost instantly. The very next morning you follow up at his offices; then go back to your daily routine including work and driving! Dr. Devgan is very personable and takes extraordinary care of you along with his fantastic team of office personnel; medical technicians and surgical assistants at his State of the Art Specialty Surgical Center in Beverly Hills. My insurance covered entire surgery; doctor visits and exams; but I paid extra for specialized custom ordered premium lens as most insurance companies will only allow you a basic lens. Therefore, without premium lens for correction placed during surgery you will need to wear glasses for correction if you had them prior. Juggling two sets of glasses due to needing reading glasses was impractical and costly. It's very expensive for designer frames and RX lenses with UV and anti-glare and they usually need to be corrected annually. It was well worth spending money for the premium lens with UV protection which was custom ordered for my 20/20 vision needs.Therefore, I no longer need to wear distance glasses; just reading glasses. Conscious sedation is used for very short duration of surgery which means you're awake but in altered state not really aware nor care what's going on. I had superlative results from this surgery. I am very grateful for the excellent referral to Dr. Devgan by my Beverly Hills Ophthalmologist. I've done research over the years and find this to be very important in medicine so I will mention it. Dr. Devgan is considered in the medical field to be young at 50 years old and at the perfect age for a doctor (40's-60's) in his prime years. You will be in excellent hands under the care of this surgeon and his entire team of experts who assist him. He is willing and happy to educate his patients answering all questions. My experience was there is really nothing to fear about cataract surgery or any other eye surgery other than not seeing properly if you delay too long what inevitably must be done for your own safety concerns. Future cost of premium lenses will only increase over time as all things do. If you have need, their administrative offices can help guide you to excellent medical finance providers who offer very reasonable monthly payments for any out of pocket medical costs such as having premium lens implant in lieu of a basic lens implant covered by insurance. read more

Really impressed by the work and the process. I had a racket ball in my right eye 30 years ago and then a very nasty cataract had develop since. I was always afraid to go to surgery, specialy because I'm a professional photographer. To a point on recommandation from doctors I met MD Uday Devgan. He convince me to proceed, and I can only say good things. Good support quick surgery, 20 minutes and great recovery. All good the first day and even better the second day. I've been able to work on my computer the same day. So So five stars is not enough. read more

I am writing this review to praise the recent surgery he did for one of my patients. I had a gentleman with a dislocated lens implant and this was a very delicate surgery. I rarely send any surgeries out to others but I knew Dr Devgan was the right surgeon for this extremely challenging case. He plans all the details and comes up with plan A, B, and C for a complicated surgery. I saw the patient at post op today and was amazed that there was no inflammation of the cornea and the new lens was perfectly centered. What a fantastic result. Dr. Devgan is one of the top eye surgeons in the country, hands down! read more
