Services
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and potential vision problems. Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we test for refractive errors, cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal conditions. The examination includes pupil dilation for thorough retina evaluation, with special attention to age-related macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease.
Cataract Surgery
We offer traditional and laser-assisted cataract removal with intraocular lens implantation. Our surgeons use precision techniques to replace clouded lenses with advanced technology implants that can correct vision issues like astigmatism and presbyopia, reducing dependence on glasses post-surgery.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our glaucoma specialists employ tonometry testing and optic nerve imaging to detect and manage elevated intraocular pressure. Treatment options include medicated eye drops, laser therapy, and microsurgical procedures designed to prevent optic nerve damage and vision loss.
LASIK
We perform bladeless LASIK and advanced surface ablation procedures to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Using femtosecond laser technology, we create precise corneal flaps for reshaping the eye's surface, achieving improved vision with reduced dependency on corrective lenses.
Myopia Control
Our pediatric specialists offer orthokeratology and multifocal contact lens therapy to slow myopia progression in children. These evidence-based treatments reshape the cornea overnight or provide dual-focus vision correction to reduce eye elongation associated with worsening nearsightedness.

Had LASIK done with Dr. Confino and couldn't be happier! Everything was explained clearly and my questions answered thoroughly. Dr. Confino, Debi, and the entire team took excellent care of me. I highly recommend the office and staff for all your eye care.

Horrible! I made an appointment yesterday and the scheduler gave me an appt. today at 4:15. Three times I specifically requested appt. in Warren, when I got there they said my appt was in the Westfield office. The receptionist asked the doctors in Warren if they can take me. The doctor said he has to leave after two more patients. The moral of the story their time is more important than yours, despite their scheduling error. My family have been coming here over 20 years. No more. They are just horrible and their is no accountability. Wasted my afternoon

Dr. Confino have been my eye doctor for many years. As well as all my family members. Dr. Confino had successfully performed two surgeries on me and I would not trust me Eye with any other doctor. Debbie was also very helpful with resulting my insurance problem.

Took my two kids here to see pediatric ophthalmologist who only comes on Fridays. After waiting for two months for an appointment, we left very very disappointed with the doctor. The other staff is very respectful and polite. However, the doctor just wouldn't explain to us properly about our kids eyes issues. When my husband and I asked her questions to get a clearer picture, she would chose what to answer and what to not answer.
She just had her back towards us, not even look at us while speaking to us. What kind of doctor are you? As concerned parents we have every right to find out more about our kids. Then the doctor mentioned we should be back after 6 months for a check up. Ok, when asked should we return to this facility or have to go elsewhere for follow up, the doctor said it's up to us where we want to go as she is leaving the job there.
She said go wherever you want. Trust us, we are definitely not returning here for a follow up. Gonna find a new doctor who is courteous and knows how to treat their patients. If you can, avoid bringing your kids here. The doctor is not a joy to deal with.

Totally agree with prior posts about front desk reception. Young lady definitely needs an attitude check. Eye exam appointment for 11:00 AM did not leave office until 1:30 PM. That's totally inacceptable for a routine eye exam.

Disrespectful and very rude reception. I double checked over the phone with appointment scheduler to make sure that they are in network with my insurance and my routine eye exam is coved under my plan while scheduling my appointment. After driving 30mins to location, I was presented with paper to sign indicating I will be responsible for fees and many other forms. I gave my insurance card and other details to front desk lady, but she has been extremely rude and keep on insisting filling out details and consent for test which may later not be covered by insurance.
Extremely disrespectful and entitled staff. I usually not post any reviews but experience and over all entitlement of staff forced me to do it. Update: Ended up talking with office manager Laura Smith over the phone and my experience was completely different and positive during a phone conversation. I decided to give it one more try and scheduled an appointment. Kept my conversation with front desk minimal. I was seen by Dr. John and was felt comfortable. He gave enough time to ask me any questions and discuss his findings.
