Report
Fischer Eye Center is a quality clinic. Just had my yearly check on my eyes. The staff is so personable and professional. Dr. Lenz is no exception! He was prompt, efficient, but not once did I feel he was rushing through to get the next patient. He answered all questions I had. I would highly recommend Fischer Eye Center to take care of your eyes! A trusted clinic!

I had cataracts in both eyes so I always was looking at everything with blurred vision. I have diabetes so I have to be careful with medication. I knew I needed new glasses anyway so I went to Fisher Eye Center to see if they could fix my blurred vision. They were very helpful and explained everything that was going to take place before, during, and after my surgery. That was really helpful and I was more comfortable.
I never realized that they could replace the lens in your eyes like that. I had clear vision afterwards but after a couple of months my vision became kind of like it had a haze in them. They said sometimes that happens and I came in and they lasered my eyes. You will have to ask them what the procedure is called, but it worked! Thank you Fisher Eye Clinic and employees. Very nice people and the best part is I had no pain during the whole process. When they take your lens out you witness a bunch of colors then white and back to normal. If you need help with vision problems, go to the Fisher Eye Clinic. Thanks Dr. Fisher!

I had the best experience with Dr. Jahraus! I have always had bad luck with optometrists in the past, but Dr. Jahraus could actually relate with my vision problems and took the time with me so I could understand what's going on with my eyes!
