My cataract surgery has given me amazing vision taking me back to the eyesight of my thirty’s, with vibrant colors and great distance.

I was very impressed with Doctor Devgan, his staff, facility, and the total process of preparation and patient handling from initial evaluation to pre- op, to surgery and follow-up. They are leading edge with technology and patient care.

After being diagnosed with rare type of “posterior polar congenital cataracts” by a local ophthalmologist in 2014 and told I would be “high risk” for surgery, I started researching everything I could find on this type of cataract. I found a lot of information and everything I read said there was a high risk with this type of surgery, but when I found the articles written by Dr. Uday Devgan and Associate Clinical Professor at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at the UCLA School of Medicine, I knew he would be the doctor that I would trust to perform my surgery. Dr. Devgan confirmed that I had the rare “posterior polar congenital cataracts” in both eyes as well as cataracts in front of the eyes. He let me know that the risk is close to one in three of having the capsular break and that usually ends up with very poor vision. Because I had read of his expertise in performing these types of surgeries, I trusted that he would be using the best technique and I would have the greatest results. I viewed a similar surgery video of this same type of cataract performed by Dr. Devgan prior to my surgery and later was provided a link to my own surgery video. Well, I did choose the GREATEST doctor. He performed removal of my cataracts and performed lens implant surgeries (one toric, one non-toric, diamond lens) a month apart and both surgeries were not only successful, at 70 years old, I NO LONGER NEED EYE GLASSES, with the exception of occasional need for +1.00 reading glasses. I made two trips from Indianapolis, Indiana to Beverly Hills, California and will always feel so lucky to find the greatest eye surgeon. It was obvious to me that he loves his work and people.

Besides finding the greatest doctor, his staff is so nice and helpful. I saw Keith more than others and I think he is outstanding.

Dr. Devgan, thank you for my awesome eyesight.

After 24 hours following cataract surgery on my second eye, I woke up able to see without glasses!
I have had the most incredible experience and result.
Dr. Uday Devgan is the miracle worker. He is accessible at all times, and it is a pleasure to have someone like Dr. Devgan operate on one's most precious asset, your eyes.
His office staff is helpful and pleasant, and going through the process rorm beginning to end has only been a positive experience.
I would highly recommend to anybody considering cataract surgery to give Dr. Devgan's call to set up an appointment.

Sincerely,
Marilyn Lipsky

After wearing glasses and contacts for 42 years, with a very strong prescription, I now have better than 20/20 vision. I was very nervous, but Dr. Devgan and his staff immediately put me at ease. The surgery was quick and painless and within hours, I was able to see like I never had before. After the first cataract removal and new lens, everything was so bright and vivid. I never dreamed vision like this would be a possibility for me. I highly recommend Dr. Devgan.

Dr Devgan is a miracle worker!! I spent 5 frustrating years trying to correct my vision. I couldn't wear contacts and I couldn't see well with or without my glasses. I had cataracts; however, several ophthalmologist told me they weren't "ripe". A new ophthalmologist recommended Dr Devgan and I had cataract surgery on both eyes. With the new corrective lenses he put into my eyes I see everything far and near. I no longer where glasses and I only need 1.25 reading glasses for very very small print and dim lights.

The office staff is great. Everyone respects my appointment time, hardly any waiting. Dr Devgan is fabulous. Every Dr should take lessons from him!!

Dr Devgan is the best and I would give him a five star plus plus!!
He is an amazing and very kind doctor. His expertise and passion for what he does, his caring, kindness and very positive persona is apparent from the first time you meet him. He is very thorough and detail oriented. There were no surprises in my surgery and he is very honest and let's you know exactly what to expect. He is truly an expert in his field and loves what he does!

He performed my surgery and my vision is right on target and I am very happy with the outcome. He is also always available to answer any questions I have via email, something that I am very grateful for. No other doctor has ever provided me this kind of support and assurance.

You have only one set of eyes! Please leave them in the care of the best doctor...Dr Devgan!
I would highly recommend Dr Devgan to my family and friends and would trust only Dr Devgan to operate on my own eyes!

I did a lot of research before I chose Dr. Devgan. He's Chief of Ophthalmology at Olive View-UCLA Medical Ctr. He's an inventor of eye surgical tools with patents to his name. His impressive list of credentials goes on and on. He has lots of instructional videos for doctors on Youtube. He's easy to access online, a super friendly relaxed guy who asked me to call him by his first name and answers all emails, and is very passionate about his work.

I saw two other surgeons before seeing Dr. Devgan, and went through their eval process. Neither had as modern equipment as Dr. Devgan. Dr. Devgan had fabulous before and after photos of my eyes. Dr. Devgan noticed things about my eyes and vision that neither of the other doctors mentioned. Dr. Devgan gave me the details of his approach to my more complex situation in an email so I could understand it.

His office is lovely, clean, classy etc. Everyone is super nice and accommodating and the paperwork was quick and simple. The surgery took place at a small surgical center in Beverly Hills. The surgical staff was organized and pleasant. You have your own nurse and anesthesiologist. A friend can come in with you while you are prepped.

Then they wheel you in to the surgery room. By then you are feeling wonderful from the anesthesia. They take control of your eye so you don't have to worry about blinking. I saw some lights above my eye and what appeared to be multi-colored marbles rolling around for a while. It seemed like 4 minutes but it must have been longer. I didn't feel a thing. Then they rolled me back into the surgery prep room. They gave me some apple juice and sat me up and let me wait until I was ready to walk out.

The 2nd surgery was a little different - I don't remember seeing the colored marbles - only some white lights. Also this time I noticed the sensation of something propping my eye-lid open for a moment. And after that I remembered even less and it seemed to be over even quicker. Of course you feel nothing as your eye is fully anesthetized.

In both surgeries I had acrylic toric lenses implanted to correct my nearsightedness and astigmatism. I need reading glasses for paper and monitors up close - just the same as when I wore contacts. I can usually squint to make out text if glasses aren't handy.

When I got home from the first surgery I noticed all sorts of interesting things. The sky in the fixed eye was blue - and the right eye that hadn't had the surgery yet - the sky was tan-colored.

For 3 days before the surgery and 7 days after you do a bunch of eye drops throughout the day. Then there's one drop you continue with at night for 3 more weeks. They need to be kept cool but not freezing. Check instructions on each eye drop as they are all different. I kept mine in a portable cooler with some ice as our fridge was too cold for one of them.

I now have 20/20 vision. Thank you so much Dr. Devgan and staff!

I am a very satisfied patient of Dr. Uday Devgan. I have had glasses since the age of 13 for near-sightedness and it has gotten progressively worse for years. In the last several years, no correction prescribed for me seemed to help. My optometrist told me that though I had a mild case of cataracts, that this could be the reason for the worsening eyesight. So I began my research into finding a eye surgeon who was experienced with cataract removal. I chose Dr. Devgan after seeing that he had extensive experience with cataract removal surgery and after seeing all the other positive reviews that he had received from his patients.
Despite my severe near-sightedness and astigmatism, Dr. Devgan not only removed my cataracts but also corrected my far vision with Premium Toric IOL and refractive surgery. Through the whole process, he patiently answered all my questions and concerns and carefully explained all my various options. I would highly recommend Dr. Devgan if you are considering cataract removal.

Thank you for giving me the 20/20 vision that I have been dreaming of since I wore glasses 54 years ago. The day after my surgery, my vision was unbelievable. I can see forever!! Why did I wait this long to get my cataracts removed. As you mentioned, I am a tough case. I suffered from high myopia (-10), had work done on my retina to close up holes and I am on Flomax medication. Because of all this, I was advised by my old eye doctor that I have a high risk of retinal detachment if my surgery was not done right. I am so glad I chose a real professional like you to do the surgery and I am so happy Rudy Gaytan referred me to you.
Again, thanks to you and to your staff, I am so grateful!

I should have wrote a review years ago, but maybe then yelp was not around. I had surgery with Dr. Devgan 8 years ago I had a really bad case of Cataracts on both eyes and when I say my case was really bad I mean really bad to the point I was crashing into walls. How it happen I am not sure, my vision suddenly would go in and out, I was only 20 years old. I was bless to have been at Olive View hospital when Dr. Devgan happen to come to the hospital and took me as his patient. He perform surgery on both eyes couple weeks after seeing me for the first time and I could not thank God enough for sending Dr. Devgan into my life. Years later my visions is amazing it only gets better with time taking Dr. Devgan advised 8 years ago to be patient and learn how to adjust my vision and focus. I only use glasses when I'm at work and have rush order that is need it right away.

I recently visit Dr. Devgan office off Wilshire and his office is amazing from the moment I walk in everyone that works their was so nice and make sure I was taken care off. If you are looking to have Lasik or Cataracts procedures Dr. Devgan is the #1 Surgeon to go to. you will NOT be disappointed.

I am a very happy patient.
