Cincinnati Eye Institute

Everything about the actual cataract surgery from start to finish was fantastic.
HOWEVER:
You WILL be misled about the cost. I went through 2 surgeries and was misinformed both
times, to the tune of several thousand dollars. Very vague & incorrect consultation about the cost both times.
It sure is nice to be able to see, though.

CEI offers comprehensive eye care including treatment of eye disorders and corrective eye surgery. During my visit, the staff was very friendly and informative about what they were doing and what was coming next. They have multiple people doing specific tasks so I got shuffled from room to room a lot, but I think it made the process go quicker. I was surprised that I didn’t have a long wait too… always a plus! They aren’t the cheapest place in town, but do take many insurance plans.

Dr. Varley is great and my vision turned out absolutely amazing. My only complaint is wait times, for my actual surgery day they were more than 2 hours behind, and my appt was at like, 9:00 am! I have learned to book the first appt of the day or the first one after lunch and you seem to get in fairly quickly.

Fantastic, fantastic place to go if you need anything done to your eyes. The fiancée went to get Lasik surgery done on her eyes, and the process was brilliant. From the very beginning, the staff and doctors were friendly, helpful, informative, and just plain good. The surgery went off without a hitch, and not only did they do a great job taking care of her throughout the process, they also took care of me! I was given the option of watching the surgery through a window (which I excitedly accepted), and one of the other doctors — not a nurse, not an attendant, but one of the opthamologists — came to sit with me and explain what was happening throughout the entire process. Wow, talk about customer service!
I’d highly recommend this place to anyone needing any type of work done on their eyes.
