I came to Dr Kahn half a year ago. My eyesight started to deteriorate quickly and nobody could tell me why and how to deal with it. I was very confused about my options and also scared as I did not know the full scale of the problem. Dr Kahn conducted a thorough eye exam, explained to me what was happening and then gave me a clear overview of the options. Following his advice I opted for bifocal glasses and can see clearly now.

dr kahn record my eyesight to 20/20 vision with Lasix surgery. I could never see well enough with glasses or contacts to drive. He is a caring and experienced ophthalmologist who restored my vision after many doctors told me that it was not possible

I had LASIK eye surgery with Dr.kahn in 2004. My vision afterwards In the following years began to deteriorate. I am left now with post-LASIK corneal ectasia. I am unable to wear contact lenses and am currently being fitted with a hybrid lens to help remedy the problem. Unfortunately this is only a temporary fix as the condition can only be fixed by a corneal transplant. I'm seeing a corneal specialist now to help fix what this quack did to my eyes. DO NOT HAVE LASIK with him.

Be VERY careful when considering Lasik with him. He ruined one of my eyes by botching the procedure and then tried to cover the problem by stalling and repeating the procedure with even worsening results. My vision in one eye is now 20/400 -ruined- and my only option at this point is a corneal transplant. Think twice before having him operate on your eyes. There are many glowing reports of LASIK results but you hardly ever hear about the irreversible disasters that occur when things go badly.

I have been to numerous eye surgeons in the past 10 years to correct my vision and none has really helped me until Dr. Kahn skillfully resored my sight . I highly reccommend him!!

My personal experience was not a good one. My first LASIK surgery was performed in Feb 2005 and I was left with very poor vision in my left eye. I could not drive at night and had no depth perception. Dr Kahn told me he could fix the vision so I had a second surgery which didn't work either. I went to two other specialists and they told me that my eye now had a condition called keratoconus and could not be corrected by any further surgeries. The end result was that I now have to wear a specially designed contact lens for distance vision and still need eyeglasses for reading. Again, this was my personal experience but I would caution anyone considering LASIK.
