Toufic S Melki, MD

I've suffered with posterior vitreous detachment in my left eye for over 2 years which created severely disruptive floaters. My peripheral vision was simply gone. 3 doctor's, domestic and abroad, told me to just deal with the floaters and they'd bother me less over time. They were so wrong. Not only did I not get used to the floaters, the disruption disrupted every single day. It was like looking through a rainy window....all the time. Ophthalmologists are reluctant to treat floaters. Few have invested in the expensive technology that maps eye floaters for proper diagnosis. And then one fine day I met Dr. Melki! Dr. Melki has sophisticated technology that clearly depicts the magnitude of floaters. Instead of speculating whether the case is severe or not; Dr. Melki's technology removes the guesswork. Within a month of consultation, Dr. Melki successfully performed vitrectomy surgery on my left eye. It's completely restored my vision. My peripheral vision is completely restored. It's hard to explain the difference, but it truly is life changing. I couldn't be more satisfied with the result. The surgery itself was performed under local anesthesia and took about an hour. The most painful part of the surgery was the COVID-19 screening, which is to say I experienced no pain whatsoever during the procedure. I'd rate the pain as a 1 on a scale of 10. Dr. Melki was in no rush during the surgery. The care was superb. I've carefully followed post surgery instructions and have healed quickly. I sleep with a patch over my left eye at night to prevent scratches. I take drops daily; however most drops are required for only one week after surgery. Within 2 weeks, I'll be completely healed with greatly improved clarity and acuity. If you've been suffering with floaters and have been told nothing can be done; don't believe it. Consult Dr. Melki as fast as you can. He can fix you right up; you're only regret will be not having done this sooner.

In 2002, I had retinal tears in both eyes, First in the left eye then the right. Ultimately, he had to surgically implant a scleral buckle in my left eye. I've had no issues since then and with contacts my vision is 20/25. I cannot express my gratitude enough for what he did. When I first went to his office in 2002, he immediately took me in and took care of the retinal tears. Ever since, when I've gone for checkups I've never resented the wait, because I know that he has probably had an emergency (including when I saw him today in May 2019).

Seven hours after being sent to Dr. Melki by my ophthalmologist at 10:00am I was on an operating table having my retina reattached. Dr. Melki and his staff worked to secure a place for my emergency surgery close to home and I felt extremely well taken care of from start to finish. Six months later my vision has improved to the point that I do not need glasses for reading as before. If anything like this happens to my family or anyone I care about I will insist they contact Dr. Melki. Thanks Ed Evans
