    I had a wonderful experience with my eye & contact lens exam here. Everyone was professional, it was quick, and thorough.

The mandatory follow-up felt disorganized and impersonal. All patients were scheduled at the same time, which made the process feel rushed and overcrowded rather than patient-focused. The "lifetime warranty" was emphasized in a way that felt more like pressure than a benefit. I was told the follow-up appointment would take 15-20 minutes, but it ended up taking closer to two hours. For comparison, the actual procedure only took about 40 minutes. There didn't seem to be much respect for patients' time, and I was not given the option to reschedule. Hearing explanations about staffing call-outs during an appointment related to my vision did not inspire confidence. Bottom line: great results from the procedure itself, but the customer service and follow-up experience need significant improvement.

    NEVER go here. They over corrected my vision and I have spent the last 4 months going in and being…read morerechecked, told first it was normal, then it could be fixed, then wait to months, then 2 more months...

    I'm Robert, I'm a 66 yrs old and through all my yrs, I've never met a doctor that I think is more…read morepassionate and caring about his patients than Dr Gulani. I was told by every other dr. and eye specialist that I was sent to .. "sorry, but there's nothing can be done in your particular situation " And then I was referred to Dr. GulanI through a friend that he had recently treated his wife, and in her situation she was told the same thing that I was told nothing could be done to help her situation. When my friend told me how good of care he had taken with her and helped to restore her vision. He insisted that we contacted Gulani. And I'm very glad that I did because Gulanni took a great deal of interest in my case and even though telling me that the other doctors weren't wrong, he was gonna do something to improve my circumstances !! I always encourage my family and friends to read the book "the prayer of Jabez "Gulanni impressed me just no matter what he faces he takes the challenge and says "I'm gonna do something to make this situation better. And if you read the book , Jabez was constantly up against a challenge, but he never gave up!!!! And the God I serve rewards us all for that kind of determination and faith! This I truly believe. I am so thankful and blessed that Dr. Gulani was put into my life and now thanks to him, my vision has improved greatly and it's only been 6 days since the surgery!! I'm certainly hopeful that it continues to improve with more time, and I certainly believe it will. He's the best, and he's compassionate and determined to helping his patients!! He is "UNBELIEVABLE "!

    My experience with Dr. Gulani (TLDR version: Did not help my vision, dishonest, all hype, STEER…read moreCLEAR!) I try to avoid writing negative reviews, but I feel that the Gulani "hype" needs to be exposed to help save others from falling for it like I did. My history before visiting Dr. Gulani: I got RK in the '90s, 16 cuts in each eye. Left eye not so bad (20/30). Right eye was worse (20/50); I had been wearing a scleral lens for the last 10 years. It was great (easily 20/20) but as I got older, it was no longer correcting my vision enough, so I wanted to visit Dr. Gulani with the goal of not having to wear contacts or reading glasses. During the consultation, he promised me, "you'll be able to read and see far without glasses or lenses." I got the LaZrPlastique in the right eye in January 2026. My biggest worry was that it wouldn't correct my vision enough and I'd still need to get a new scleral to see clearly. Wow, was I wrong on multiple fronts. First off, my vision actually GOT WORSE after Dr. Gulani's surgery (20/100). If you're an RK patient, you know about multiple images--sit in a dark room with a single LED about 10 feet away (such as the red LED on a TV that's off). An RK patient will see a pattern of multiple LEDs due to the irregular astigmatism. Well, that pattern got LARGER (spread out more), not smaller, after LaZrPlastique. In simple terms, I now have "double vision." In technical terms, my astigmatism went from 2.4 D to 2.9 D as measured by an Oculus Pentacam. Second, perhaps the more disturbing aspect, is Dr. Gulani's response regarding astigmatism. I mentioned the Pentacam map and my multiple images and he basically shouted that I'm stupid, that "topography isn't vision...refraction is vision!" Well, guess what? He destroyed my topography and now I can't see! Refraction means nothing if you're seeing multiple of everything. I don't think he understands how important topography is (duh, why do you think scleral lenses work so well for us?). Third, he flat-out lied to me and said, "you're the only patient that has had this complaint." Any fool can read reviews and find numerous instances of similar results, and those reviews basically follow the same path--poor results, Dr. Gulani denies it, he tells them to just "wait for it to heal." I'm not stupid; I know it's healed, and I'm not going to waste ten years waiting to see if it heals more. And if you carefully study the Yelp reviews, you'll notice this swarm of invalidated positive reviews in bunched-up timeframes...faked, forced, or both? To be fair, the staff were all really nice and it's quite the experience the whole week you're there. But looking back, it seems like more of a big circus. "Well, that procedure is normally this price, but for you it's lower." How gimmicky is that? Dr. Gulani is so pompous, it'll make you vomit...the office is a shrine to his ego. He goes on and on about he's the only one who can do what he does, making a big show of "did my Canada patient land yet?" I think it's all in his head; his sense of self-importance is so inflated and I don't know if he's capable of admitting failure. I'm not going to sue him; I knew it was a gamble going in. I just didn't think the "best in the world" could possibly do such a bad job. I'm guessing his true success rate is much lower than the hype would lead you to believe. I'm sure Dr. Gulani has helped many people. I think if you have very low astigmatism (less than 0.5 D) but need a major refraction adjustment (let's say you're 20/200), Dr. Gulani might be able to take you down to 20/40. But because he's only doing PRK and not TG-PRK, he can't clear up your irregular astigmatism. Oh, and he called my local eye doctor a buffoon for writing "patient went to Florida to have surgery by a doctor who claims he can fix RK." Yeah. Real professional. I wish I got paid $20,000 a day and wasn't accountable for the results.

    I'm kinda surprised at all the negative reviews i've found here! I was going to write a positive…read morereview already but now feel double obliged. I recently had the good fortune of getting eye insurance and have been in sore need of new glasses. After having a bad experience with the prices for frames at Perle Vision, i decided to check with my insurance to find out who else i could go to and was surprised to find out that Bowden Eye was right next to my family doctor on Yellow Bluff. I already had the designer frames purchased online and merely needed to have progressive lenses put in those. After talking to the lady at the eyeglass counter, i decided that the frames i had just bought online might be pulling on my hair too much and went with a new pair instead and will return my online purchase. Like others, I was shocked and appalled at the cost of my lenses - with insurance my photo grey progressives where about $600. If that wasnt bad enough the sales girls did talk me into another pair of glasses since i got another set of free lenses due to a special. That was good, but waaaaay more money than i thought i would have to spend. Granted, this was the insurance companies fault and not Bowdens. Progressives are expensive. But, i have two pair of great designer progressive glasses with photogrey/brown tint for about $900. I was told upon ordering that my glasses would take 10 business days, and I was again shocked that i got a call just 4 business days later stating both my glasses where in. 20 minutes later, i was back at Bowden Eye and 10 minutes after that walked out with great glasses. So, no muss, no fuss. They found a new customer with me. Sorry everyone else didnt have such a good experience! It was a little pricey but quality usually is.

Dr. Merritt is extremely friendly and always answers all of my questions, and is patient with me when I can't decide if 1 or 2 is better.

The last time I went, they made sure I knew exactly what I was going to have to pay after insurance whenever I go and pick up my contacts. I was glad to not have any surprises! They also typically have my prescription in trials which they always offer while I wait for the new prescription to come in. They recently moved to a new location which I like much better than their old one!
