Bochner Eye Institute

i went there in 2007 because i have an eye diease kerakatous im i was seen by a nurse rn for a consulation on my frist visit she suggested contact lenses hard than i got them it was very difficult for me to put them in my eyes
the nurse was very disrespectful to me i did complain about her
the contact lense person was amazing and his staff and team did follow up every year if he was in the uk or america i would see them again
i had just one conversation with that rn nurse
in the 25 years i have been in canada it was the point she said that its my fault that i missed her 7 year back dated appointment
i walked it to a option in new york city and explained to them my situation they understood
you see a family that has gone blind or a family tree that has that genetic marking knows more a nurse that saw you for 45 mintutes in 2007
at age ten a person ask me would you rather be deaf or blind i said deaf
so in closing i would not see any specialist in canada for my eye problem at all

Surgery was completed mid-​December 2015. I didn’t spend much time with Dr. R. Stein but he was friendly, personable and proffessional. I was taken in on-​time and staff on the surgery day were all friendly and organized. The evening following LASIK surgery I had almost ²⁰⁄₄₀ vision.
The 24-​hour follow-​up re-​check was completed by a different doctor on-​time with only a couple minutes of wait. I had «flawless flaps» and essentially ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision next day. Three days later my vision was clear enough to update my drivers license. Dryness was a major issue for me — you may end up spending some serious coin on preservative-​free eye drops — be warned! Be very careful about rubbing your eyes — I used the sun shades while sleeping and showering for two weeks to be safe (I am a stomach sleeper and used to have a habit of rubbing my eyes a lot in the shower).
The One-​week and one-​month check-​ups were completed by yet another doctor (they seem to have maybe 4+ opto/​ophthalmologists on staff) again swiftly with only a couple minutes wait. Better than ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision in both eyes 6-​weeks post-​surgery.
I have at least two more re-​checks to complete at Bochner over the next year, but so far very pleased with my choice. Dry eye is still an issue but has improved significantly now 7-​weeks post-​surgery. I always had major halo/​starbursts at night but they have improved almost back to my «normal». I am told recovery varies dramatically between patients so I just need to be patient with the dry eye.
FYI: Bochner offers a VennGo discount. If you purchase a membership or have one already through work like I do, you get a $ 700 discount.

I’ve been coming to the Bochner for many years now, since I’ve been diagnosed with keratoconus. Dr. Stein has performed the CXL procedure on myself, and overall the entire experience has been excellent. Mr. Korosh RO has been my lens fitter, and always very patient and knowledgeable regarding fitment with KC patients.

I got my eyes done here 5 years ago. The best investment I made in my life. The entire experience was professional and pleasant. My procedure was 100% problem free, but just in case there is an issue, they provide lifetime guarantee. I have recommended Bochner to many of my friends.

Fantastic staff, they are all professional, courteous and attentive. They are all well trained and very hospitable. I had Dr. Stein perform my surgery. He is a great surgeon, patient, welcoming and professional. I would highly recommend Bochner for laser eye surgery

I was very fortunate to have my Lasik procedure done here last week — and yes I’m typing about a week later ;)
My experience so far has been great, from the initial consulation, to aftercare…(I have a follow up appointment later this week.
The staff are really great, attentive and professional, and do they a great job and making sure their clients/​patients feel comfortable. They walked me through every step of the procedure and carefully explained everything that I would experience, and how to care for myself afterwards.
I totally recommend them — I trusted them with my vision afterall.
For those who wear contacts/​glasses — it kind of feels like at the end of the day, I should take out my contacts… except I’m not wearing any. It’s great to wake up in the morning and be able to see clearly right away!
