Gradual changes in vision can often go unnoticed if you do not have regular eye exams. If you are age 60 or older, your vision may be suffering from cataracts. However, you may be compensating for these vision changes or simply think that you have to live with inferior vision as you grow older. This could not be farther from the truth.
Your cornea is the thin outer layer of your eye that protects the eye from foreign debris. The shape of the cornea is also responsible for how well you can see clearly; the shape determines how light entering your eyes will focus in front of, behind or directly on the retina (the back of the eye). Epithelium (outer layer): eye protection and surface to absorb nutrients and oxygen from tears.
Glaucoma is actually a group of diseases that damage the optic nerve. The optic nerve is responsible for connecting the back of the eye (retina) to the brain. Glaucoma is usually caused by an increase in the fluid pressure in the eye - either because of the overproduction of fluid or when the drainage system of the eye becomes blocked.
Your retina is located at the back of your eye. Although it is a thin, light-sensitive tissue, it packs a punch: it is responsible for controlling how you see images. In an ideal eye, images focus on the retina and those images are converted into electrical impulses that are transmitted through the optic nerve to the brain.
Oddly enough, if you are prone to excessive eye watering or tearing, you might actually have a condition called Dry Eye. Dry Eye occurs when the eyes do not produce sufficient tears or the tears evaporate too quickly. Evaporative Dry Eye, accounting for 86% of all dry eye: caused by blockage to the eyelid glands (meibomian glands) which leads to a shortage of oil on the surface of the tears and quicker-than-normal tear evaporation.

My experience with Dr. Maki was fine, unfortunately her surgical coordinator has no follow through. To be told 1 day prior to scheduled surgery that they do not have what is needed from the optometrists is absolutely uncalled-for as they had the report from the optometrist 2 weeks prior. Now that surgery is rescheduled for a month later, I left 4 different voicemails for the surgical coordinator to ensure that they had what was needed so as not to be told again the day before surgery it may be cancelled. No return calls until the day before surgery...turns out I was to have 3 different eye drops

I would like to thank Dr.Brems and the office staff at Arizona Eye Specialist for removing my cataracts and restoring my vision! My left eye was 20-50, and my right was 20-40. They just completed my right eye; it was blurry at first, but after a couple of days, the right eye is clear enough to not wear my glasses. I can't wait until they fix the left eye in another 2 weeks. I should be able to throw my glasses away. Everyone is very friendly and efficient. I recommend them highly.

Dr. Brem was great with my in-person appointments but his follow-up and follow through is why I'm only giving 2 stars. I've called with important medical related questions; 4 times for 4 consecutive weeks, I received 1 response from his team but since they could not provide answers they promised to get back in touch with me. Weeks later and multiple messages to Arizona Eye Specialist, I have yet to hear back from him or his team. If you're a patient that likes to easily connect with your Doctor, I would certainly not suggest him. Needless to say, do NOT a leave a message on their

This is a review of the Front Desk and Appointment setting services... Not any of the doctors.
Called a month earlier for an appointment with an Optometrist (OD) for my annual eye exam and gave my insurance specifics, and if needed I'll be looking for new prescription glasses.
On the day, I drove 70 miles to the Scotdale, AZ location, only to find out they had me set up with an Ophthalmologist, who doesn't perform annual eye exam, nor accept my insurance, their response was ..."oppps, we made a mistake, we can re-schedule you for another appointment in a month...", how UNPROFESSIONAL

Will not go there again. No office coordination. Told I had secondary cataract by one doctor but he couldn't perform the surgery so set up an appointment with an ophthalmologist in Gilbert. When I arrived, was told he wouldn't perform surgery until I had a complete eye exam...had one three weeks earlier but that didn't matter. An hour and a half later, the ophthalmologist came in, did a quick look and said there may be the beginning of a secondary cataract but nothing to worry about for a few more years. Complete waste of time. Insurance, Medicare, billed twice for same exam. Sorry

First visit to Goodyear office I arrive 5-10 minutes early for a 9:45 appointment. Waiting room was extremely crowded and at several times patients had to stand because of limited seating due to Covid-19 arrangement. At 10:25 (45 minutes after arriving) I was finally called in by a technician who did some of the basic procedures, I then sat in a small cubicle with 3 other patients to wait to see a doctor. 15 minutes I was then placed in an examining room, and saw a doctor. It appeared as if there were only 2 doctors in the office, way too few for the scheduled patients. Staff and doctors were

Hi, the office is a well oiled machine to get all the parts prepped for Dr. Goldman to have available when he comes in. This allows efficiency. He explains the process and treatment recommendations and alternatives. He is compassionate and thorough. Technologically did a good job on right cataract and lens implant, had complication of secondary cataract on left and there is a plan to remediate with laser, hopefully with improved outcome. I still see better than when he started.

Double charged! Actually more than double. $110 for a routine eye exam & Rx for lenses! Every doctor I've been to for an update on my lenses has been around $50. This place charged a $60 office visit calling it a 'co-pay' even though I was paying cash, then after the exam they wanted an additional $50 for the Rx. And they didn't even do a glaucoma test which is normally included in a routine eye exam.
The doctors are great, but their prices are ridiculous.
