Connecticut Eye Specialists: Lorenzo J. Cervantes, M.D.

My husband had a LASIK procedure done about 7 or 8 years ago, and I've had the PRK procedure done a few years ago, both by Dr. Cervantes and the amazing staff here. In both instances, the experience we had was stellar. Dr. Cervantes is always very thorough when explaining the procedures, potential side effects, and set clear expectations on post procedure recovery. After our LASIK and PRK, we've had no issues with our vision and we are both super pleased with the outcomes! The staff is always super friendly and professional, and we've always felt like we were being well taken care of. I would strongly recommend anyone interested in one of these procedures to see Dr. Cervantes and the team here!

The whole team at CT Eye Specialists were amazing and made the process of getting my Lasik surgery very smooth. Dr Cervantes inspires confidence when you meet him and you can tell he loves what he does. Alyssa and Bethany helped to keep me calm in the procedure. I am like the most squeamish person when it comes to my eyes! But all three of them were just so great I can't recommend them enough! I walked out of the office seeing basically as good as I do with contacts and now it's the next day and I see perfectly with minimal discomfort. It's an incredible feeling! If you are nervous about getting anything done I would highly recommend this practice. The receptionists were also kind and welcoming you can tell everyone likes working there.

I'm totally very with the results of the eye surgeries. I now see what I have been missing with cloudy vision and also drive at night and not afraid of those crazy very bright on coming headlights. I see a brand new world in front of me and it's wonderful. Thank you

Dr. Cervantes was extremely thorough in explaining my options to get refractive surgery. Ultimately, I chose to get LASIK and it was the best decision ever! My only regret was not getting it sooner. Dr. Cervantes and his team made sure I was comfortable the day of my surgery. The entire process was painless and quick (~ 10 mins). I recently seen my optometrist and she said my eyes are doing very well and complimented how good my lens looked. I am very happy with my surgery and so glad I found Dr. Cervantes!

I would highly recommend Dr. Cervantes and his wonderful staff at CT Eye Specialists. They were efficient, professional, knowledgeable and very personable . I went to Dr. Cervantes needing Cataract surgery and to say I was a bit anxious is an understatement. He relieved my anxiety by answering all my questions and concerns. I felt understood and heard. I was truly blessed being under his care and the results were very positive .

I was waiting many years to have the Lasik procedure, and am absolutely thrilled that I finally had it done with Dr. Cervantes. When I was ready to see a doctor for a consultation, Dr. Cervantes was recommended by another ophthalmologist. He came highly praised as the expert in the field to see. At my first consultation, the process was thoroughly discussed with me, all questions answered with patience and I never felt that I was being rushed out the door. On top of everything, Dr. Cervantes and his coordinator were incredibly accommodating and tried hard to try to get my procedure scheduled to help my timeline and what I needed. Apart from my great outcome, this was the best part of my experience, and I am very grateful they helped me the way they did. The procedure was fast and smooth, with everyone in the operating room walking me through every step and let me know what was coming up so that I felt comfortable. Ultimately it took 8 seconds per eye and the results have been amazing. I can finally see without glasses after decades of wearing them. I cannot recommend this procedure and this office enough.

It has been 2.5 years since my PRK surgery and my eyes are still in perfect shape! My vision is 20/20, no glasses needed. My contact prescription prior was -4.5. Dr. Cervantes was excellent through the whole process, answering all my questions. He recommended PRK over Lasik, and I am happy with his recommendation. I have not had any dry eye symptoms or rings around my vision at night. I can't thank you enough for the gift of sight!! If you're looking for who to trust for this procedure, look no further.

I had LASIK a week ago and it has been a life changing experience. I had been wearing glasses since I was 12 yrs old, but was able to walk out of the surgery room without having to wear my glasses. The surgery was quicker than I thought. It could be because the team was so engaging. We started talking about vacations (which is a topic I enjoy). It relaxed me and it was done so fast. Dr. Cervantes is such a professional and has blessed hands. His team is amazing too. They all tell you what to expect step by step, which is something I appreciate. Recovery has been great. I took the day off because of the mild irritation and kind of dozed off throughout the day to rest my eyes. Prep for that if you do it because you will need it. I already told a few of my family members and friends about the experience and encouraged them to look into the surgery. Don't overthink it!!!
