Services
Cataract Surgery
Our surgeons perform advanced cataract removal using bladeless femtosecond laser technology for precise outcomes. We offer customized intraocular lens implants to correct vision, including options for astigmatism and presbyopia. Patients receive comprehensive pre-operative evaluations and post-operative care to ensure optimal visual recovery and long-term eye health.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
These exams include visual acuity testing, glaucoma screening, retinal imaging, and corneal analysis to detect eye diseases early. Our doctors assess overall eye health while determining precise eyeglass prescriptions using automated and manual refraction techniques for accurate vision correction recommendations.
Dry Eye Treatment
We diagnose and treat dry eye disease through advanced therapies like TrueTear neurostimulation, LipiFlow thermal pulsation, and prescription medications. Our approach combines diagnostic testing with personalized treatment plans to address both symptoms and underlying causes of chronic dry eye conditions.
Contact Lens Fittings
Our specialists fit specialty contact lenses including toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal lenses for presbyopia, and scleral lenses for irregular corneas. We provide trial lenses, usage instruction, and follow-up care to ensure comfortable, vision-enhancing lens wear tailored to individual eye shapes and visual needs.
LASIK Surgery
This laser eye surgery reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Using advanced mapping technology, we create personalized treatment plans for reduced dependence on glasses or contacts, with comprehensive pre-op evaluations and post-op monitoring for optimal visual outcomes.

I saw Dr Solinsky in both his West Hartford and Avon locations. He also removed a large cataract from my right eye in Rocky Hill. He and his staff in both of his office locations were wonderful as were the nurses at the Rocky Hill Surgery Center. I was nervous to have the surgery performed and I felt comfortable with Dr Solinsky and his staff. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend using Dr Solinsky as your eye care provider.

I am thrilled with my cataract surgery outcome. I was nervous about having the procedure and delayed a year. Of course, my vision deteriorated and seeing signs while driving became more difficult. As I worked with Dr. Solinsky and his team, various cataract options were presented (some more costly than others). I made the decision to go with a basic cataract surgery (even with my stigmatism) which my Medicare would help cover.
This didn't change the professional treatment I received. I received optimal treatment and care from the staff, techs, nurses and doctors. This carried forwarded from their West Hartford Office to their surgical center in Rocky Hill. The surgery staff in particular are thorough professionals who care about your well-being and have a nice dose of humor to allay any fears. Just want a patient wants and needs. Thank you.

This place absolutely sucks. I usually am a bit more polite than that, but there's just no way around it. Every single time my wife and I go in there, we are billed incorrectly. Once it was for services we never received! Right now I am in the middle of trying to get a bill I know for a fact should be covered fully under my insurance taken care of. This has been ongoing for months. I am shuttled between department and department.
Each one says "I'll get back to you in a couple of days." Then nothing happens for weeks and I have to call back. In the latest call, I was placed on hold for ten minutes and then hung up on. They just suck. Plain and simple. Don't use them. Once this bill is done being disputed, we're switching immediately.

I have been a patient of Solinsky Eyecare for many years and I have always had a great experience. The staff are friendly and efficient and whatever doctor you see they're always friendly and concerned about your needs. I have visited two of the three offices and the service is the same. I highly recommend Solinsky Eyecare.

This place is unprofessional and inconsistent with their information. They messed up my sons glasses multiple times and even gave him a prescription that wasnt his once. They don't take responsibility for their actions and act like it is of the least importance to them. I will never bring my family back here ever again.

I had laser surgery through my contact lense. Not a problem in itself, but a sign that nobody took the trouble to double check before the laser treatment started. I was a bit shaken, consulted another doctor who reassured me. The office does not seem to have optimized its organization; you have been to happier, more caring offices, for sure. One nurse was wearing shearling sleepers which I did not think looked professional.
Second visit, I was 8 minutes late on a Friday. I had to drive in from work and ran into a spot of traffic. I know I was 8 minutes late because this is how the receptionist greeted me. I had forgotten my ID in my car, in my haste. She cancelled the appointment. They have been calling and emailing to reschedule. I think it is worth looking for a better option.
