My wife underwent expensive cataract surgery in Feb 2021 in one eye. Dr. Cukrowski didn't educate us on the downside of the premium trifocal Pan Optix lens (not covered by insurance) in detail ( Halos and Glare). Infact he highly recommended the same for her. It is nearly a year after surgery but the issue of halos and glare persists and she cannot drive at night. The post cataract laser surgery was also performed but no improvement. They recommended anti glare correction glasses but the issue remains. After multiple visits and a second opinion found out that the lens itself is the cause of the concentric rings, glare and spider web and 20% patients may never adapt to it. Dr. Cukrowski was suggesting additional treatments not covered by insurance. Worst case scenario would be to get the IOL removed and a monofocal lens implanted. After multiple visits..stress and unclear consultation given up on the doctor. Upon complaints the fine print for surgery was referred to us. Thoroughly disappointed and devastated financially and emotionally.

3/20/19 another follow-up appt to verify eye pressure is perfect and it is! Excellent care by dr Walter and staff. Highly recommend dr Walter! come visit dr Walter and see for yourself.

I Recommend him to everyone. Start your new year the best way with excellent care by dr Walter j. Cukrowski.
