Bierly performed my cataract surgery nearly a year ago. I opted for the ultimate package which supposedly gave me Advanced Testing & Analytics... Custom lens calculations... Treatment of Astigmatism... Custom multifocal lenses... Laser-Assist... Reduced dependence on glasses with functional vision at all distances. This package came at a cost of over $7,000. My regular eye doctor was extremely critical of the results, and assured me that Bierly would be receptive to replacing the lens. I was told that there was some kind of debris on the capsule that needed to be lasered away, but that it couldn't be done for 90 days. I waited 90 days, had the procedure done, and at that time, I inquired what the next step would be since I saw no improvement. Bierly replied I guess we could do a lens swap. There was no improvement at all, but now he says the lens cannot be replaced because of the laser procedure. His assistant Luckson P explained that lens exchanges must be done in the first 30-60 days after the surgery. Both of these doctors dealt in half-truths and outright lies. After much debate, they offered me a $3195 bribe to just go away. Now, I will need to be back in glasses & contact lenses for the rest of my life... bear in mind I could have simply gotten the basic package that involved zero out of pocket expense, and would have left me in glasses & contact lenses. I spoke with a representative of the company and expressed my concerns, claiming that was simply not enough to cover my disappointing results. She said she would speak to the doctors and get back to me... That was in late May 2022... so far nothing! There are too many reputable eye surgeons around to trust your vision with these quacks & liars. Do yourself a favor, and seek them out.
