Advanced Eye Center

Had constant eye irritation from wearing contact lenses too long, so I finally booked an appointment here. The specialist explained what I was doing wrong and suggested better lens care habits. The advice was practical and actually helped within a few days.

So, I waited almost a month for my appointment and drove 30 minutes to get there, only to be told that day that they don't accept either of my two insurance plans—and apparently, the person who booked the appointment messed it up? Are you serious? They really ought to hire more competent people for this kind of work!

Came here because my old glasses prescription no longer felt comfortable. The eye specialist rechecked everything carefully instead of simply copying previous numbers. The new lenses feel much better, especially while driving and using my phone late at night.

I recently visited Advance Eye Center with my father, and we had one of the best experiences we’ve ever had in the healthcare industry. Josefina was the young lady who assisted us throughout the entire process, and she truly stood out. She is intelligent, knowledgeable, and incredibly compassionate. Josefina showed genuine interest in our situation, approached everything with humility, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable while making a very important decision for my father. Her professionalism and kindness made a world of difference. If you have the privilege of being cared for by Josefina, I’m confident you’ll receive the same exceptional treatment we did. Great work—absolutely no complaints!

having retired from the opthalmic field ( used to fixed lasers and phacos for 30 plus years). I knew my eyes were ready for a yag procedure. I went to Dr. Ackerman since I knew of him from the old days and told him I knew what I needed. I had cataract surgery done by a friend of mine but she has since retired. He did Yags in both eyes but took about 12 shots in my left eye and around 5 in the right eye. I could feel that it was done for a few weeks. During a follow up with Dr. Kim I could tell something was not right. She said if the floater did not disappear in a few months to come back. I went back in a few days because I could tell something was not right. After some retina pictures it was determined that I had a detached retina that Dr. Kim apparently missed. Im now 2 weeks post op from retina surgery from Ga.Retina. Did the Yag cause it? Hard to say. Did it help it along? Hard to say. A Yag laser does not burn but creates little explosions where the aiming beam is focused on. This is how a yag works. You will here a little pop each time the yag is fired on the scar tissue that rests on the backside of the lens implant. So we really dont know if the yag caused it or not. As far as Ackerman and the staff,they are great and I would trust him with your eyes. My issue was with Dr. Kim missing the detached retina.
