Fantastic service, with experienced and seasoned medical and support staff. Dr. Milad Modabber assessed my eyes, carried out my cataract surgery (with toric IOLs), and followed up with me soon after the surgery. The results were phenomenal!

Very competent and experienced medical and support staff!...And phenomenal results!...

I want to take this opportunity to express gratitude to all staff at Herzig Eye Institute in Ottawa. My overall experience at Herzig was phenomenal.I had high myopia (-6D and -6.75D) and mild astigmatism (+1.0D). Throughout the pre-operative consultation with Dr. Baig, he was initially concerned about the weak cornea of my right eye and thus suggested I should go with ICL procedure. However, since my preferred option was SMILE, after being given some artificial teardrops, I passed the reassessment of candidacy for SMILE.I had my SMILE operation with Dr. Baig on June 3rd. The operation was virtually painless and took only 7-8 minutes. During the procedure, Dr. Baig explained everything about what he was doing, and there was music being played in the background to make me feel relaxed as well. Also, I would like to thank the two nurses who also assisted the operation on the day. After the operation, I was given a set of eye drops and proper instructions on how often I should use them.Visual acuity recovery takes time with SMILE procedure. On post-op day one checkup with Dr. Baig, my visual acuity was 20/15 and 20/20 for OS and OD, respectively, and I complained that I had some residual astigmatism in the right eye. However, a month after the operation, my visual acuity was fully recovered, and I got 20/15 for both eyes, which is excellent for me as Im a sports enthusiast.Bonus: As vision acuity is crucial for my sports career, I performed further visual acuity tests at home to check my limits. The results were terrific. I can see at 20/12.5 and 20/15, and with pinhole glasses, I can see some letters on 20/10 line.Again, Id like to particularly thank Dr. Baig for giving me a new vision, Dr. Noel and Dr. Nour for helping me with post-op checkups, and other staff at Herzig for offering impeccable service. Highly recommend Herzig for refractive surgery.

My cousin referred me to Herzig Eye Institute to get a consultation for laser eye surgery. I chose to get the SMILE procedure for both of my eyes and Dr. Modabber + team were very supportive and made my experience worthwhile. Thank you so much for restoring my eyesight!
