Dr. Domenic C. Izzo Jr

Nice confidence-inspiring set-up and process at Berks Eye, but Dr. Izzo's cataract treatment results were NOT visually impressive. The first issue is that Dr. Izzo thinks a lot of himself. One eye accelerated into cataracts due to a prior surgery - despite the opportunity to correct my far vision or use newer variable focal length lenses, Izzo just said flat out he's going to give me back my myopia to match my other eye (bad far vision, better up close). I've been in the medicine field for two decades, had different levels of vision in each eye for awhile, and worn contacts - I know what the problems can be, but he tired of answering after question number two. Based on familial history, I was fairly sure I would need the other eye done so a better lens would match in the near future - Izzo was having none of that. Surgery (2017) went well on my "bad" eye and, after post-op laser treatment (2021) to clear the cloudy membrane that developed I had my clear but myopic vision back. More disappointing was the result of cataract surgery for the other, "good" eye. Given the ultimate result for my previous cataract surgery and recent laser clean-up, I decided to go back to Berks Eye and Dr. Izzo since they were familiar with my case and this would be the simple case to do (also in 2021). Possibly based on patient reviews in the intravening period, Dr. Izzo was at least pretending that he had a more receptive attitude about listening to the patient. TWO DECADES PRIOR my parents both had cataract surgery and both ended up with nearly 20-20 far vision, so given that Dr. Izzo had forced the simple (myopic) lens replacement on me and that this was a straight-forward change to my good eye, I did expect a result at this level. While Dr. Izzo kept up a patter and went through the motions post-op of feigning that the results were good ("see how it's almost acceptable through the pinhole occluder"?), I now have some kind of UNCORRECTABLE warp in my near vision in that eye, which affects sports/driving/etc. Wearing the glasses PRESCRIBED BY DR. IZZO, I am basically "single-eyeing it" for all reading, near and far.

Very thorough and professional eye center over-all. They explained my options for the outcome I was looking for. After more intensive testing, my options changed, and they were very accommodating and got me into surgery right away. Dr. Izzo makes a point to meet with each candidate interested in eye correction surgery multiple times before your procedure, and will answer any questions you have. Not only did they surgery center call afterwards to see how I was doing, but so did Dr. Izzo later that day. I thought that was pretty cool. I can already see so much better and it has only been 12 hours!

This guy is a hack my vision is a lot worse following his procedures.I wouldn't recommend him to my worst enemy.5.0 rating ? They must of been family and friends.
