My husband just had cataract surgery on his eye that has also had cirrus retinopathy for a number of years. Dr Koch was very thorough and left no stone unturned in the pre testing of his eyes and discussing the best lens for him. He received the new J and J Pure See- a IOL giving good long distance as well as great vision for computer and cell phone use. He had had special glasses for computer use which is a hassle so hoping this will be a better solution. He had his one day follow up today and was amazing what he could read with no glasses. He will have his second eye done June1 We can not say enough good things about the skill and caring of Dr Koch . Our eyes are so Important and we wanted the best! We certainly feel like we got that with Dr Koch. You may have to wait to get in, but he is definitely worth the wait !!!

I had toric interocular lens implanted during cataract surgery, one of my lens rotated and my vision was very poor. Dr. Koch and his staff are amazing, he was successful in rotating the lens 10 months post op. Not a easy feat except for a highly skilled surgeon like Dr. Koch. Thank you Dr. Koch!

From Brenda Liebling-Goldberg: Dr. Koch has a well-deserved national reputation. He did my cataract surgery and I was thrilled with the result. Not only is he an expert in his field, but he is kind, caring and takes time to explain everything to his patients. The entire office staff is helpful and friendly and Samantha, the office coordinator, is highly responsive. My highest rating!

I had very high myopia and astigmatism and Dr Koch did an introcular lens exchange using laser and a multi focal lens with toric from Tecnis and I can see perfect close and distance . Thank you Dr. Koch!

I debated for a long time whether to write this review, but in the end people who are thinking of eye surgery such as Lasik need to know some facts that I was never told and did not find out about the practices at Baylor Eye Client until it was too late for me. First, I was a patient in 2001-2003 and remember Dr Koch to be personable with very good bedside manners. My nearsightedness was near 12 diopter and after surgery for about 10 years my vision was near perfect. However, afterwards my vision started to worsen and I now have reverted back to the point where I now have to wear glasses not only to see, but to drive. And here is where things really got bad for me because I now have cataract in one eye bad enough that glasses cannot correct it and I can no longer see clearly with that eye and found out that people who had Lasik not only have an increase risk of developing cataract, but the surgery for cataract for those who have had Lasik runs a higher risk of complications. But it does not end there. One of the things that a surgeon doing cataract surgery wants is the patient record of what was done during the Lasik procedure. This means patient records and I found out that it is the policy of this office to delete patient records more than 10 years old. One would think that knowing all the patients who had been treated with Lasik could one day need cataract surgery, this office would at the VERY LEAST contact those patients and offer to provide a copy of their record before destroying them. Even if they charged a fee for such things, who in their right mind would not want their records? What I cannot understand is that during the initial exam, I remember Dr. Koch informed me that I had early signs of cataract in one eye and that eye would eventually need surgery to for it. And still they destroyed my record leaving me in a situation where I now face an uncertain future for cataract surgery with an increased risk of complications with no means to provide a surgeon with the information on what was done during my Lasik surgery.

. I was a challenging patient because a RK procedure I had in 1982 made my vision very difficult to correct. My research on a top ophthalmologist brought me to Dr. Koch. He performed cateract surgery in 2019 that gave me excellent vision. He is a knowledgeable, amazing caring doctor.
