My vision used to be perfect, until I became legally blind from cataracts. Dr. John Michaelos from St. Michael’s Eye and Laser Institute performed my surgery using the ReSTOR premium iol. The surgery took only 15 minutes per eye- no stitches were used and I experienced no pain. I sat up and could see. Truly, a modern miracle! When I walked outside I was amazed at how green the grass was and how vivid the colors were. My vision was again perfect at all ranges.
If you are considering cataract surgery I would definitely recommend investing in the ReSTOR premium IOL. It may be the most important investment you could make. The doctors and staff at the St. Michael’s Eye and Laser Institute were professional and friendly. I have never been so impressed with an organization in any industry.

My friend told me that after his mother had cataract surgery everything looked so much brighter. I said to my friend that I didn’t think that was my problem, but after my cataract surgery I was amazed at the beautiful colors of the world that suddenly appeared. My driving at night is as different as black and white. Before I had the cataract surgery I would get very upset if the lines on the road were wearing off and I couldn’t see well enough to find those dim lines. After cataract surgery, I feel so much safer driving at night now! I am a musician and reading the music was becoming a major task before my surgery-now I can see music very quickly and clearly. Also, as a seamstress the needle has come out of the haystack.
I cannot say enough about the excellent treatment that I received from all the staff at St. Michael’s Eye and Laser Institute. All of the personnel were so pleasant, compassionate, and made sure that I was comfortable and coping well with the procedure. The environment, ambiance, and interior design of the institution is very calming and help to ease the anxiety, anxiousness, and apprehension of patients.
I am a very satisfied patient and have already given my recommendation of St. Michael’s Eye and Laser Institute to several potential persons with cataract concerns.

I could not pass up the opportunity to thank you for the life-changing eye surgery you performed for me almost one month ago. I am so very thankful for my newfound vision and could never find the words to truly express how much I appreciate all you and your staff have done in making it possible for me to now see! Your steady hand and precision work are truly gifts from the Lord! I am just so very grateful to you for doing everything within your power to ensure a successful outcome during my surgery. I am so very pleased I decided to undergo EPI- LASIK eye surgery at St. Michael’s Eye and Laser Institute and that you were my surgeon.

Amazing facility beautiful atmosphere and staff couldn't have asked for a better doctors office. They really do treat people like family.

My husband had a sergery with Dr Michaels.Doctor promissed to him that he will see as an eagle. Sergery did not go well. My husband s vision now is worst than it was before the surgery.There was no apology or explanation why did it go wrong. I would not recomend this doctor to anybody!
