I have never had more problems with my eyes then I do now that I had this surgery. NEVER had dry eye or any other issues. Can not see in right eye and it had been nearly 3 yrs and countless visits to different specialists. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AND NOW CAN NOT SEE!! Have Yag and other issues because of the surgery. Chu just brushed it all under the rug.

I met with Dr. Richard Chu at Chu Eye Institute for a cataract evaluation. I was in the waiting room less than 15 minutes before they called me and the entire process was only 1.5 hours. I could not be more pleased with Dr. Chu's bedside manner.. soft spoken, very caring and is highly educated but spoke to me in a way that I could easily understand my diagnosis and treatment. It has been several weeks since my cataract surgery and I am ecstatic over my new vision. I was 20/25 at one day post op and after healing, I am now 20/15. I have never seen better and I cannot thank him enough. <3

I could not be happier with the service I received at Dr. Chu's office. The front office was warm and inviting. Dr. Chu was extremely polite and really took his time to inform me about my cataracts. His surgery girl was nice and took the time to go over every detail of the surgical procedure. I will be recommending this team to all my friends.
