Eye Consultants of Silicon Valley

I’ve worn eyeglasses since 2nd grade for severe myopia which continues to get worse with age. I’ve been using Costco optometry for my optical prescription examinations mainly because of convenience and value. I also regularly see corneal as well as retinal ophthalmologists. My right vision has been getting worse faster than my left and unfortunately not as satisfactorily correctable with optical prescription. Both my ophthalmologists (Harvard trained) confirm the onset of right cataract and predicted I’d need cataract surgery not too far in the distant future given my poor results on annual vision testing because at some point optical prescription won’t compensate for cataract impairment. But I found this recommendation difficult to accept and was skeptical. I’m a physician myself and they say doctors are the worse patients, hahaha. Therefore, I sought out the 2nd opinion of Dr. Stephanie Chan. I blocked off almost half a day of work and also had my wife drive me 30 minutes to get to her office so my eyes could be dilated. I brought Dr. Chan my medical records from my opthalmologists to review as well as my old Costco prescriptions. She patiently listened to my description of my history and problems, answered my questions, and wrote out a new prescription which I took to Costco to replace my old lens. Seeing is believing. With correction my left vision is now nearly 20/20 and my “bad” right vision is now 20/40. There’s no way I’m getting cataract surgery any time soon. I’m now able to drive confidently in low light at night. In hindsight, the Costco optometrist purposely limited my right prescription to avoid too large of a discrepancy between my left and right prescription which could lead to headaches & other side effects none of which I have with my new prescription. The Costco optometrist alluded to her concern but I thought she would nevertheless try her best to optimize my right vision but she didn’t and I didn’t know this. As a result both my opthalmologists were confounded & misled with the presence of early cataract (which everyone my age has some). I have Dr. Stephanie Chan to thank for literally opening my eyes.

Good service Nice employee

Dr. Carey is an excellent doctor and his office is always pleasant.

Went for a second opinion. The technician spent a lot of time with me to ensure accurate test results. Dr. Carey was also thorough and I was pleased with the outcome. I will be switching to this office next year.

Great medical office, wonderful and warm experience from start to finish.I especially loved how Dr. Barez really took her time to explain my conditions with me as well as my treatment options. Knowledgeable, sensitive, informative. I immediately felt at ease – and felt confident in my receiving expert medical care. Also, the staff is very friendly and professional. I’ve never had to wait more than a few minutes when I arrive on time for an appointment. Highly recommend!

I visited ECSV as a new patient today. I am not only pleased but also impressed with the level of care this office provided. Dr. Carey and his staff spent significant amount of time to review my file and perform eye examination. Dr. Carey is truly a very caring physician that I would strongly recommend to all my family and friends. I am giving him and his staff five stars since there is no higher star rating available.

ECSV is a great eye clinic, everyone is highly professional, focused on details and providing a great service. Both my wife and myself are very happy to have found this group.
