Dr. Varley did my cornea transplants 14 yrs ago. I had a rare macular disease. I have since relocated to Columbus, but I can tell you my new doctor raved about the awesome results of my surgery and that she has never seen before. I go to an OSU doctor and they continually bring in fellows to see his work! Always raving about the excellent job he did! I Totally recommend him! And so do others who have seen his work, and I am positive they have seen it all!!!

Two days after my eye surgery, I am actually sitting at my computer reading and typing without the use of glasses! Have been a patient of Dr, Varley for many years. In June, we decided to start procedures to clean up my eyes and vision. Holy Cow! What a difference 7 months makes. Nearly 20/20 vision in both eyes. THANKS DR VARLEY

I need to have cataract surgery, the pre-visit was fine and I enjoyed the information. I will be glad to have it done and in my past.

Dr Varley was rude, doesn't listen to you when you try to explain your symptoms. Refuses to tell you what's going on with your eyes. He kept telling me to wait 6 months and when 6 months came he continued to refuse to discuss my diagnosis. He kept promising my eyes would get better but they continued to decline and despite my attempts to get treatment he continued to tell me to wait. He didn't care that I was suffering. Would NOT recommend!!!!
