Orion Eye

For reasons that are not clear to myself, or the doctor, I had a cataract. A bit of mystery for someone my age.
I connected with Orion Eye, a referral from Costco (gotta love that). My initial visit was to do all the testing, a lot of testing. Very professional and friendly staff. And very timely, no wait time. Based on the test results the recommendation was to remove a dense cataract in my right eye. Met with the scheduling coordinator, she laid it all out for me, schedule, prescriptions, pamphlets, etc., answered all my questions.
The day of the surgery was seamless (the surgery was performed in their Redmond office). Lots and lots of eye drops, about 15 minutes of surgery. Total of two hours spent at their office. The surgery itself is a little disconcerting, but you can get a sedative if needed. In hindsight I should have done the sedative.
The doctor called me that evening to see how I was doing. Follow-​up with the doctor the following morning, a week after, then a month after. During that month there are a lot more eye drops.
The results were a life changer for me. I was in a position of being totally unable to drive at night. Went into surgery with 2100 vision, came out with ²⁰⁄₂₀. I still need reading glasses because my «focusers» are too old, but I’m good to go with everything else.
I love that in the after care information it talks about not straining and gives examples of what not to do — 1. no jogging and 2. no chopping wood. Check.
Dr. Grove was my doctor and I was really impressed with both her and her staff. Great service, nice people. Great all around experience.
