My wife and I recently moved from Eye Care San Diego to Alvarado Eye. It was the best move we ever made and we should have done it sooner. The doctors and staff are outstanding. If you need eye care this is the place to go.

I went in for a consultation and opted for the Clear Lens Replacement option for both eyes. I got panoptic lenses that allow me to read, use computers, and have 2020 vision at a distance. The Dr let me know that I would have halo rings around lights at night. I do, exactly as described. This is a tradeoff of not having to use reading glasses... And WELL WORTH it! It actually looks kind of cool to be honest. The staff is helpful and communicates well. I'm told my vision will improve even more over time, but two days after my second eye was done, I tossed my glasses for good. I think I will still need light readers for really fine print, but I haven't yet. I am thrilled with the service and result. I strongly recommend Nvision Eye Center and Dr Katzman. This procedure changed my life for the better. Thank you!

I have been seeing Dr. Katzman for a few years now to monitor an issue with my right eye. In the meantime, I developed cataracts. Last week, Dr. Katzman performed laser cataract surgery on my right eye (the left is still good). It's only been a week, but my vision is SO much better. Colors are brighter, halos around lights at night are gone, and my glasses are useless. I'm seeing quite well without glasses at all (although I do still need readers when light is low). Dr. Katzman is a skilled professional. He knows what he's doing and I trust him explicitly. If you're considering any kind of eye treatments, I recommend you check him out at Alvarado Eye-NVISION Eye Center in La Mesa.

Great Experience, had Cataracts removed form both (Week Apart) from day one of the 1st surgery was seeing better than I have seen in 20 + years. (I went with the upgraded lens) day after my 2nd surgery I am seeing 20/20, not to mention that everything is so much brighter and clearer, I wasn't aware how much the cataracts had distorted my vision, until after my 1st surgery for 1 eye. Dr Katzman and his whole entire staff have been great from my 1st consultation, scheduling, Surgeries to the post-ops visits. Always up front and available to answer question and concerns, as well being HIghly professional at every visit.

I cannot say enough positive things about all of the staff here. I came here for ICL surgery, which I was originally very nervous about, but Dr. Katzman and all of the staff here made my entire experience so wonderful. I look forward to all of my appointments because when you walk into the office everyone is so welcoming and excited to see you!
