I recently had my Refractive Lens Exchange done by Dr. Herzig. Jackie did my measurements, prior to my procedure appointment and Christina was my consultant. The team at Herzig did amazing work and I would recommend them to anyone that has such terrible vision like myself. I now have 20/20 vision. Im still healing, its been 2 weeks and my eyes are getting sharper day-by-day. Im extremely satisfied with Dr Herzig and his team. They do excellent work and the facilities are very clean. They have state of the art equipment they use to check the eyes. I have attended other vision centres in Toronto and Herzig was the only eye institute business that had the ability to address my very complicated situation. I was educated every step of the way by everyone I interacted with at Herzig, which created a calming effect.Thank you Herzig and the team

This is a first class facility with attentive and professional service. They offer prompt assessment and most importantly for me fast access to the required medical procedure.I was assessed by Dr. Bhargava and he also did the surgery on both eyes. The surgery for both eyes could have been done on one day or one eye on two consecutive days but I opted to wait a week between surgeries. I opted for the laser technique but I am not sure if it was worthwhile. Regardless, the outcome was excellent and I am very pleased with the results. I my case one eye was corrected for distance and the other for closer objects. I have 20/20 in the right (distance) eye. Post surgery I couldn't believe how much brighter everything was. I was like having a new TV.Expensive but worth it for me as I would likely have waited one year for surgery here in Ontario without have the benefit of these precision facilities.Thanks to all in the facility.

Super quick and easy

Absolutely amazing experience. I booked a consult in January and last Thursday had my 1-month post-op checkup for vision correction surgery in both eyes. When I learnt a few years ago at another clinic that I didn't qualify for Lasik I thought that was it, but Herzig has so many other options and ICL worked for me! All of the staff and doctors were incredible and so helpful and I highly recommend going here.

I had single eye cataract surgery in Jun 2021 in Ottawa, by Dr. Saama Sabeti, still during the pandemic. I was not even fifty years old when I pretty much lost a vision on my left eye due to the cataract. But what can you do? I was referred to Ottawa hospital by an optician, waited for the hospital call that never came (to this day). So, as disappointed and frustrated as I could be (try to be a computer programmer for graphical systems with only one functioning eye), I contacted Herzig, got a consultation scheduled within a few weeks, then pre-op, and then surgery within another few weeks.I can honestly say Herzig is an A+ smoothly working organization, fully staffed, zero stress, clean environment filled with the latest tech, and the staff is very punctual. When the appointment was scheduled, it was at that precise time, no needless waiting. The surgery was set for a total of 3 hours because of covid protocols, and it was just that. The next day post-op was going to be 15-20 min and it was again exactly that, in-and-out, no waiting for someone tired to show up running between 5 other patients. Everything was explained, nothing was rushed, and no pressure.Going Herzig route you have an option to select the latest premium implants (unlike the ones in hospital covered by OHIP) and I would strongly recommend that because there are now some funky new high-end monofocal with increased depth of field. Also, you can choose the laser option as they can fix some other things with the eye as needed. Thanks to all this I have super sharp and high contrast vision, zero halos, and absolutely no glare - I honestly feel like I have a better vision than I ever had before, even when I was younger. And the colors are pretty amazing! I can use my left eye now as a fully pantone color calibrated reference with a perfect white-balance. Yup, I work on imaging software systems and at 50 years I discovered that white is actually more white than I ever saw. They told me the operated eye is now better than 20/20 so my daughter thinks I am an android, which is certainly a bonus. I was cleared to drive the next day after surgery, of course with those funky protective glasses they provided, which makes other people to open doors for me and scouts trying to help me cross the road despite my vocal protests.So far this was a great experience, even though I was pretty chickened out. (Anything eye-related was a nightmare for me as I had an eye injury when I was little - I honestly couldn't even look at TV if they show something done with an eye). The surgery was really far better than I expected.So yeah, I would not blink twice if I ever need to fix my other eye. And hey, they didn't make me write this review - this was all my idea.
