“Dr. Pamel worked wonders on my eyes. I wanted laser corrective surgery, but my situation was more complicated than a standard LASIK correction could address. After talking to quite a few ophthalmologists and getting countless scans, I was referred to his office independently by two other eye surgeons, one of whom teaches at Columbia. They both told me he was the only doctor they’d recommend for the procedure I needed… I have 20/20 vision–I used to have -6.50 in each eye with nonstandard corneal shape and astigmatism. For the first time since I was 9, I can see right when I wake up, when I’m in the shower, etc. It’s almost a year later, and my eyes feel good. Throwing out my glasses and contacts felt incredible. I wake up every day grateful for Dr. Pamel’s excellent work and his organized, efficient staff.”

“I had lens implant surgery on both of my eyes this year with Dr. Pamel and his team, and it could not have gone smoother. Dr. Pamel made the surgery feel seamless and straightforward, and I am eternally grateful. I’ve had glasses since I was 4 with an extremely high prescription, and Dr. Pamel made it possible that I can now see without contacts or glasses; feels like a miracle. I highly recommend!”
