Cavanaugh Eye Center

The BEST EYE SURGEON on the market planet, in my opinion. Dr. Cavanaugh and contact lens expert: Dr. Jaynes have treated my eyes for 21 years and I am extremely pleased with the results. Dual Kerstoplasy - both corneas transplanted about 20 years ago. My left cornea developed some scar tissue the Dr. Cavanaugh removed this morning. I can't say enough good about their quality of care, treatment, professionalism and state of the art expertise in the corneal transplant and post op contact lense sphere. They are the best!!

Dr. Cavanaugh performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes in May 2025. My eyesight had a haze, and the prescription strength on my glasses and contacts had increased over the years. Following surgery, my eyesight is now 20/20 in my right eye and 20/15 in my left, and I do not need glasses or contacts. My procedures and follow-up visits with Dr. Cavanaugh and Dr. Jaynes have been textbook. I highly recommend the Cavanuagh Eye Center for any eye care needs.

I had LASIK surgery with Dr. Cavanaugh, and it was truly amazing! The procedure was quick and surprisingly easy--I could see clearly right away and had zero pain or discomfort afterward. Dr. Cavanaugh and the whole team are exceptional! I highly recommend them to anyone considering any kind of eye care.

I assume the quality of their work is better than their scheduling. I just returned with my partner from a 1 PM eye appointment. We arrive 15 minutes early 1245 as requested and she was not seen until 315! This is inexcusable. Other medical practices - - KU make it a point to not waste your time because they value your time and their expertise and getting you in to meet your needs. If I have to choose cataract surgery, I will not be using Kavanaugh a word to the wise, plan on a picnic lunch if you go there.

If I could give negatives stars, I would. If you value your eye sight then avoid this practice. I had a months long wait to get in for the first appointment. I assumed that was because they we very good and many people wanted to avail themselves of their services. They were recommended to me. My first visit with them was a warning sign that I should have heeded. In measuring my eye sight, they had great difficulty in getting a reading. I was very uncomfortable and asked that they do it again. They did with supposedly a more experienced staff member. The second reading was supposedly better than the first. Dr. Cavanaugh really push hard the Vivity lenses (these are premium lenses with a premium price.). In theory a great lens but not so much in actual results. He proposed correcting one eye (my right eye) for distance and then follow up with my second eye for reading. Following surgery on my first eye, I was expecting better results. I tested out at only about 20/50. On a follow up visit, I complained about my vision. His response was two-fold. First is that eve at 20/50 my vision was much better than before. (that was true but not the 20/20 that he indicated before surgery.) and second he blamed it on my diabetic retinopathy (Which I have had for some time but has been treated and under control. He never indicated that the retinopathy would be a problem.). There was no way that I was going to let him touch my second eye. I am from Topeka and found a local eye specialist. I got a second opinion from him. He said that there is no way he would have recommended the Vivity lenses for me. He also said there was no reason that I should not be able to get 20/20 vision in my left eye. I had surgery on my left eye and guess what. Today I am seeing 20/20 in my left eye. Amazing what a skilled and competent doctor can do. I did ask him about removing my right lens and replacing it. He did not recommend it since there was no guarantee with the additional time that had passed since my first surgery that the removal and new implant would be successful. If you are contemplating cataract surgery avoid this place if you value your vision.

Staff was amazing, very polite, and knowledgeable about what is going on. The office is clean and the only thing I would complain about it the time. I understand things happen, especially when it comes to the medical field, but everytime we had to come we would arrive 20 minutes early, and not be seen for up to an hour after our scheduled time. We drive from an hour and a half away. So planning anything around this visit is impossible. They would sell that a procedure would take 5 minutes, but it seems like they believe this so they overbook and we are forced to sit. A visit will take 3-4 hours and of that we might see the doctor or staff for 10-15 minutes.

Had a laser cornea procedure done yesterday. Not only was this painless, I have had zero side effects and no need for pain meds..Going to Wichita would have saved hours of traveling but I wouldn't change it for the world. Dr. Cavanaugh is amazing and I'm going to continue to go to him for all of my cornea needs.

Dr. Cavanaugh and his staff are the best. They are all very knowledgeable and helpful. The staff is professional and made me feel very comfortable throughout my procedure. My eye sight now is perfect, I couldn't be more happy about the results. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Cavanaugh to anyone needing any type of surgical eye care.
