I trusted Dr. Chu and his team with my recent cataract surgery. I think they are well informed about patient care through every aspect of this procedure. I had many acquaintances who recommended Dr. Chu and staff to me. My entire experience rates 5 Stars.

Closely followed care giver protocol, with smiles evaporated any uncertainties for me. Having the privilege of the LAL procedure was gratifying. As always , at each contact with Dr.Chu I was warmly received with a smile and handshake. It was a very satisfying experience from a very professional team.
Response from the ownerGeorge, thank you for sharing. We're so glad our team was able to help make it a great experience!In this process of choosing the Light Adjustable Lens, everyone has been so impressive, from the staff that checks me in to Dr. Chu! The technicians and pre-surgery doctors have been thorough and informative with the process. Dr. Chu is taking a personal interest in my outcome and the surgery he performed was an amazing experience! I look forward to the adjustment period and the results for better vision. Thanks to all at Chu Vision Institute!
After receiving my cataract diagnosis from my eye doctor she referred me to Chu Vision Center. After several tests and scans they discovered I also have a condition called Fuchs Dystrophy (thickening or swelling of the cornea). Lots of drops to try and help with the swelling and eventually we agreed to a cataract surgery with a cornea tissue graft. Had both eyes done - months apart - and it’s been wonderful. Dr. Ralph Chu is an talented surgeon who is kind, thorough, and has put together a very skilled team. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
