Paul Dougherty, MD - Camarillo

Dr. Paul Dougherty has been my ophthalmologist for over 5 years. I have worked in the medical field for over a decade and was referred to Dr. Dougherty by a colleague when in need of a second LASIK enhancement. Originally the first enhancement was performed by a different eye surgeon, 4-years previously. I had been told by various eye surgeons other than Dr. Dougherty that lifting the flaps for a second enhancement after a 4-year interim was not advisable. Dr. Dougherty was able to successfully lift both flaps in a matter of seconds and perform a second enhancement on both eyes. Before the second enhancement I was 20 / 60. To date my vision is 20 / 20. Dr. Dougherty?s staff was professional and customer service oriented. They helped put me to ease since I was feeling quite anxious from the previous eye surgeries performed. I have continued referring my family, friends and anyone I overhear in need of an ophthalmologist not only for laser eye surgery but also cataracts and other eye conditions that other doctors are unable to diagnose or perform (which was the case of a family member I had referred). I will continue referring to the brilliant Dr. Paul Dougherty. From my experience with Dougherty Laser Vision, I understand why the marketing states - the doctor?s doctor. Pros: State of the Art Technology, Internationlly-Acclaimed Surgeon, Participates in FDA Studies Cons: None more

I am just now posting since I had LASIK surgery 6 months ago with Dr. Dougherty and wanted to see how well it worked for me. I am 46 years old, wear glasses and contact for nearsightedness and was starting to have reading difficulties - especially with my contacts in. After a complete eye exam and Free Consultation with Dr. Dougherty, I decided to try out monovision for one week (using contact lenses with different Rx). The first couple of days were uneasy, then my eyes adapted to the Monovision ... so I went ahead with LASIK with Monovision. The doctor used two different lasers on my eyes-one for 20/20 correction and the other for 20/40 correction. After 6 months, my experience has been wonderful and I would recommend anyone in a similar situation to try Monovision and to definitely go to Dr. Dougherty! Pros: Dr. had LASIK himself, Advanced technology, Great bedside manner more
