The most common eye surgery performed, cataract surgery removes a cataract and replaces it with an artificial lens so you can see properly again. Our team of experienced surgeons are well trained to perform your eye surgery. Our surgeons offer laser treatments for glaucoma to help reduce your intra-ocular pressure.
A cataract is a clouding of the natural crystalline lens inside your eye. With time the clouding can become severe enough to impede your vision and the only treatment is cataract surgery. You eye doctor will monitor your cataract and will discuss surgery with you when it is time. Glaucoma is a disease of your optic nerve and is the second leading cause of blindness world wide.

I have been a patient of Dr. Koala for years and have always been very satisfied with her thorough exams and advice. Today, I had a visit with a new opthalmologist, Dr. Codi Li. I am happy that Dr. Li did not find cataracts in my eyes but I am stunned by a length or rather shortness of my visit (about 2 min) and a hurried manner with which Dr. Li conducted the exam. I have a family history of macular degeneration and wanted to ask some questions but there was no time for it. Dr. Li completed his residency in 2021 with honors, so I do not doubt his professional skills. However, as person just starting

Worst experience ever!
I am extremely unsatisfied by the service I received at this clinic. Someone had forgotten to book my appointment and the lady at the front desk suggested I go somewhere else when I expressed my disappointment... she was SO rude. When I was finally able to see the doctor, the appointment lasted 5 minutes! I have never had an eye exam last that shortly, she barely asked me any questions. I would also like to mention that the equipment seemed out dated. I would usually never take the time to write a bad review but I was honestly so shocked by this experience!

This is regarding Kevin Chavez & The Ottawa Eye Clinic at 680 Montreal Rd. Kevin, an optometrist there, is quite obviously an expert in his field who possesses tremendous people skills. His attention to detail is noteworthy and greatly reassuring: he is painstakingly thorough. The operation of this clinic is competent, *friendly* and modern, beginning at reception and carrying through to the doctors. I received the absolute best care during my first visit. This is where I will have all future eye exams done, and absolutely where I will have my GP refer me when I require assistance from their ophthalmology

I have seen Dr French on two occasions since my prior ophthalmologist's retirement. I found Dr French to be most knowledgable and helpful; I felt she was keenly interested in my welfare as a patient. At my recent appointment during these Covid times I found the staff helpful and diligent in following all safety protocols. I would highly recommend Dr French and her team.

I had a full eye exam done by an optometrist at another clinic, and then I was referred to Dr. Poleski through my family doctor. I was called by Dr. Poleski's clinic and informed that Dr. Poleski required me to redo the optometrist eye exam at their clinic at $125, before he sees me. I asked what was wrong with the full exam I'd already done and paid for, the only exam that would be covered by my insurance, or if my optometrist was not competent? The reply was that they did not have enough information from my optometrist. So, I said, okay, I will get you more details, will that work? They said

I’m surprised by the low rating of this clinic. I found the staff very efficient and professional when I arrived. I was checked in quickly by the staff and seen by my optometrist Dr. Das right on time. Dr. Das is actually the sweetest and most assuring optometrist I’ve seen in Ottawa. She gave me such confidence in her abilities and gave me a thorough eye exam while explaining what she was doing and encouraging questions. She was perfect I highly recommend her! My search for a good optometrist in Ottawa ends here.
