Dr. Mahootchi performed cataract surgery on my eyes in May 2023. I stayed at the Quality Inn, practically next door to the Eye Clinic of Florida.
Dr. Mahootchi is kind and caring and his office staff are impressively efficient as well as personable. The Same Day Surgery Center is just behind the Clinic, and the staff there are just as efficient and personable as those at the clinic.
The surgery was quick and painless. I opted for PanOptix lenses since I wanted to see both near and intermediate. The PanOptix lenses did little to decrease the glare and halos I’ve been seeing for decades; however, I’m thrilled that I can read tiny print that I haven’t been able to read for decades without wearing thick glasses or readers over contacts.
In February 2024, I went back for ptosis surgery on my right eye. For more than a decade, my right eyelid covered about three-quarters of my pupil. Again, the surgery was quick and painless. I’m so happy that my right lid now sits above the pupil as does my left eye. I can see well out of both eyes now!

"For more than a decade, my right eyelid covered about three-quarters of my pupil." should have been, "For more than a decade, my right eyelid covered about one-half to three-quarters of my pupil." The drooping progressed over time.
