My recent and highly successful cataract surgery and IOL implants, performed by Dr. Christopher Coad of Chelsea Eye Ophthalmology and his team at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, has resulted not only in wonderfully clear vision unlike any I've ever had, but a new, happier outlook on life. I've been highly nearsighted since birth. For a cataract patient, I'm still young, but cataracts are not unheard of with the significantly myopic. By the time of diagnosis, the cataracts were well developed, and causing major refraction... read more

I was really indecisive about getting LASIK for awhile, I had read a lot of reviews about Dr. Coad and Elizabeth and figured I'd at least go in for a consultation with them to see if I was a candidate. Elizabeth the surgical coordinator greeted me right away, and preformed and explained all the testings she was doing that we're going to determine if I was a candidate or not. As much as a foreign language medical terminology can sound, she really simplified everything so I would have a better understanding about the procedure... read more

I am a great fan of Chelsea Eye Ophthalmology! I was referred by a friend who had gotten LASIK a few months ago and had a great experience, and I have to wholeheartedly agree with her. Dr. Coad was completely professional and personable. He went through the entire procedure and was a very reassuring presence. Special shout out to Elizabeth Simeone, the LASIK coordinator. She was amazing. Just amazing. She went above and beyond. Her knowledge of LASIK was more than evident from the second I walked into the consult. She was a ... read more

I had LASIK surgery by Dr. Coad at Chelsea Eye Ophthalmology a little over a month ago and was waiting to see how things went before leaving this review. Happy to report I now have 20/15 vision in both eyes (that's better than 20/20). Overall, I had a great experience! Let me start by saying I am a super anxious person, and I am so disgusted by eyes (and the thought of touching them) that I've never worn contacts. I am the kind of person that would (and did) obsessively Google LASIK complications for hours before finally pul... read more

Sari Thank you for such an outstanding review ! Dr. Coad and I truly pride ourselves on helping our patients live life to the fullest so we love hearing positive experiences like yours! Congratulations on your new vision !!

I checked out a couple of other Manhattan doctors before finding Dr. Coad and his awesome assistant Elizabeth. I had debated for years about whether or not to have LASIK but wanted to find the right practice to carry it out. These guys were amazing, attentive, instructive, reassuring all the way through - and the result is awesome. They made it so easy, zapped at 8 pm, follow-up the next morning and straight back to the office. I should have done it years ago and could not recommend these guys highly enough. I'm a very selec... read more
