Reviews of Dr. Uday Devgan, MD
Chris Lin
Dr. Devgan came highly recommended. And was more than justified. He operated on both my parents for cataract surgery. His professionalism combined with his bedside manner were impeccable which certainly is important when you are trusting someone with your parent's vision and eye surgery. I cannot possibly thank him enough and I couldn't imagine trusting anyone more with dangerous and important eye surgeries for people I love.

Dr. Devgan is a great surgeon, excellent work and with nice personality. I am able to see close up 20/20. Since I live far from the Surgical Center, he operated me as the first patient so my friend can drive me home without heavy traffic – very considerate, indeed!
It is also important to mention his office’s front desk run by 3 nice ladies (Lucy/Alice/Mary) – courteous and helpful! Jodi also terrific in explaining the procedure and detail.
Highly recommended!

I had put off having cataract surgery for a year because other doctors I had consulted made the process seem overwhelming and scary. But when I was referred to Dr. Devgan by a friend, I knew he was the one. In fact, I wish he could be my doctor for everything. He’s brilliant, patient, organized, efficient, cheerful, reassuring and clearly loves his work. His office staff is great. He responds incredibly quickly to emails and texts. Best of all, I can see now, better than I ever did before, and he made the whole process very easy.
Beth Littmann
Dr. Devgan was amazing!! . I had trauma to my eyes from airbags in a car accident. Just had both cataracts done with Dr. Devgan and my vision is better than ever. He is the best and most caring doctor. He responds so quickly to emails in regards to questions you may have on your upcoming surgery or post surgery. I am so happy I chose him! It’s no surprise as to why he gets all of his 5 star ratings. If I could I would give him a 10!! Also, his office staff is so kind and helpful. Jodi (in scheduling) and Mary were both a pleasure to deal with.

My experience with Dr. Devgan and his staff was the best I have ever had with any physician. Dr. Devgan's manner is extremely caring, and he never rushes you in appointments, cheerfully answering questions and supplying detailed information. His entire staff is exceptionally welcoming and instills a great sense of confidence in their competence and professionalism. Dr. Devgan performed cataract surgery, which was amazingly pleasant, with wonderful personnel. I had always had poor vision and dealt with thick glasses and the hassle of contact lenses. By the day after surgery, I had 20:15 vision. I could see far better than I could ever see with glasses or contacts in my life, which is truly a major life enhancement. I strongly recommend Dr. Devgan without any reservations. I would not want my friends or loved ones to go to anyone else.

Graduating from the same medical school aside (University of Southern California) and after a laborious search for the preeminent cataract surgeon, I was referred to Dr. Devgan. I found him to be such an outstanding individual, warm, gracious, and truly dedicated to his profession. He has trained and mentored countless number of doctors in ophthalmology residencies and fellowships. As expected, surgery went extremely well. I highly recommend him to anyone needing cataract surgery.
Caryn Thompson
I am extremely pleased with Dr. Devgan and all of his office staff. Everyone is courteous and professional. Dr. Devgan is very friendly and interested in answering every question that I had about the cataract surgery. He actually gives you his cell phone and lets you know that he is available to address any concerns 24/7.
The surgery center is pristine and their nurses and anesthesiologist were all wonderful. The procedure is very quick and I had absolutely no knowledge that anything had happened until I woke up with incredible new vision.
When I went to see Dr. Devgan a week after my procedures, he checked my eyes and let me know that I had better than 20/20 vision in both eyes. It is a huge relief as these will be for the rest of my life!
I had originally gone to a different surgeon who was recommended by my optometrist. I found him arrogant and not interested in anything but selling me the most expensive lenses. I highly recommend Dr. Devgan, who is much more concerned about what you want and what is best for you.
Gary Peterson
Dr. Devgan is amazing and the very best! I had suffered with cataracts for a couple of years and I was fearful of having the surgery.
After meeting Dr. Devgan, I was much more relaxed as he took time with me to completely explain the procedure. We also talked about my goals and life style so he determined which type of lenses would be best for me.
The day of the surgery, Dr. Devgan came into my preparation area and sat down and talked with me which furthered my comfort.
The surgery seemed like it was over in just minutes, no pain, nothing scary and I left the surgery center with no heavy patches over my eye(s), just a pair of dark glasses because my eyes were dilated.
After wearing glasses for 54 years, I no longer need to wear glasses, my vision is 20/20!!
Dr. Devgan is far beyond an excellent surgeon. Further, from my first meeting with Dr. Devgan, it very clear that he is extremely kind and a person who truly cares very much about people and his patients.
I give Dr. Devgan my greatest respect and appreciation. Thank you so much Dr. Devgan you are the BEST!!!!!!
Robert Jack
Dr. Devgan is an outstanding physician and a highly skilled eye surgeon whose tremendous dedication to his profession is unparalleled. Combined with his kindness, empathy and quiet confidence, this puts him in a class all by himself. Additionally, he is surrounded by excellent staff members. As a cataract surgeon myself, I see why 63 of my fellow ophthalmologists before me choose Dr. Devgan for their cataract surgeries. At our first meeting, he listened to my complaints, performed a detailed examination and then proceeded to discuss all of the options available, and patiently addressed each of my concerns. I opted for cataract surgery in both eyes, one week apart, which Dr. Devgan performed flawlessly and efficiently without pain or discomfort. My results are fantastic! I highly recommend Dr. Devgan without hesitation or any reservation.

I was referred to Dr Devgan by my friend who is an eye surgeon. He told me he sent his own mother to Dr Devgan and said I must go to him because he has seen him perform Cataract surgery and that he is the best there is. My optometrist had referred me to a different doctor and my friend said he knows the other doctor and Dr Devgan is definitely better. Come to find out later that my optometrist was receiving a referral fee by the other doctor. Dr Devgan is no less than a miracle worker. I had severe cataract and very small eyes and corneas that are very steep making my surgery a difficult one. A day after surgery and I have 20/20 vision without glasses! Which by the way I’ve never had in my whole life. I feel like I have a new lease on life! Dr Devgan is also the sweetest man! Completely available throughout the whole process. The staff at the surgery center is kind and respectful. I don’t know how my experience could have been better.
borntowander1
The entire experience went smoothly and Dr Devgan is ranked the top Doctor in California for cataracts! He takes the time to answer your questions and even gives you his email and cell number for any post op issues! He responds quickly and his equipment is state of the art! I consulted with 3 doctors but was blown away by his service, his staff, his knowledge, and his genuine love of his work! He even teaches students at UCLA Stein Eye clinic, and posts videos for other Opthamologists to watch to improve their surgical techniques! He is unbelievable! Consider yourself lucky to have him perform your surgery!! Thankful to have found out about him!

I did a lot of research before I plan my cataract surgery and found there are many good surgeons in the city of Pasadena, Arcadia and San Marino areas. After several trips to other doctors, I found a well renowned Ophthalmologic surgeon. Dr. Uday Devgan is the best in his field and has superb practice. Dr. Devgan was recently chosen as the top cataract surgeon in Southern California. Award-winning & nationally recognized - specializing in Cataract surgery. He totally deserves it.
The entire experience from setting appointments, consultations, surgery, and recovery was excellent. Knowing of his incredible expertise in the subject of cataracts and of his dedication to his patients. I feel like I was blessed to have found him. I was depressed and scared
of the surgery. After talking to him, I know
I am in great hands. Dr Devgan is a very caring, compassionate doctor with a great bedside manner. I felt extremely lucky to choose a first-class Ophthalmologist for my cataract surgery.
My experience with Dr. Devgan and his entire staff was so pleasant and efficient. Everyone was so knowledgeable and kind.
Dr. Devgan is not only known for having gifted surgical hands, but he also trains ophthalmology residents.
I'm very thankful for Dr. Devgan and his team.
This was truly a life changing experience for me. I recommend him for all your vision needs!
Nancy Cleveland
Dr Devgan is the top cataract and lens surgeon in the United States.
He did outstanding laser surgery on both my eyes. No pain and
he kept me informed prior to and after the surgery. He explained in detail the procedure and the instructions I needed to follow before
and the weeks after the surgery. The information he emailed prior to the surgery was very helpful in explaining the procedure.
Besides being an outstanding surgeon he treats the patient very
well by keeping them informed of what is happening at all stages
of the process. I am so lucky a friend referred me to Dr. Devgan
and that he does laser surgery instead of the surgery by hand.
Fred Pope
Dr. Devgan fully deserves his excellent reputation. All his staff are terrific. I had cataract surgery on both eyes and now have 20-15 vision. The four hour drive to get to him was well worth it. Dr. Devgan is very personable and a pleasure to work with. I’m telling all my friends “use Devgan or settle for second best or worse”.
Kingsbery Baldwin
Best experience!!! Dr Devgan the best in his field. He is warm , friendly and makes you feel like he will spend all the time on the world with you! The pre op and post op instructions are in great detail. You are able to call him directly. Jodi in scheduling was a joy as is the entire staff. The surgery center was top notch! They take great care of you and keep you at ease and comfortable. I would do it all over again, but my eyes are PERFECT!🥂🥂🎉🎉🎉

My elderly mother was having difficulty reading and her driving vision was seriously impaired. Dr. Devgan performed cataract surgery on both of her eyes and her vision is perfect. She cannot believe the incredible results.
Dr. Devgan is incredibly compassionate and genuinely cares about every single patient that walks into his office. He takes his time to thoroughly explain his recommended procedure.
On our first visit, a patient had flown in from New Jersey.
Yesterday, there were two ophthalmologists that had flown in from out of state to have their own surgeries done by Dr. Devgan.
It's no surprise he is rated as one of the very best anywhere!
Susan P
Dr. Devgan is absolutely the BEST in 360 degrees. He is my 10-star doctor. Besides being an extremely skilled surgeon, I find he is also a very kind, caring and diligent doctor based on my recent (April and June 2022) cataract surgery experience with Dr. Devgan and his awesome team.
I’m a high-risk patient with high myopia (-16D) and always feel nervous going for eye exam. At the measurement visit, Dr. Devgan showed me the machine calculations and explained it’s a little bit off for high myopia patients. He’ll use a software to recalculate again for accuracy. The software uses the actual patient’s data sent to the database by eye surgeons across the nations. Dr Devgan is the owner of the software. Dr. Devgan recommended a target vision and explained why. It’s different from the target I had in mind. I chose to go with my target at the visit since I’ve thought about the target I want for so long. Dr. Devgan said he’ll do my target and I can change mind anytime. Later on, I realized doctor’s recommendation is better and emailed Dr. Devgan to change the target. Looking back now, I’m glad I changed to the target that’s recommended by the doctor. My vision now exceeds my expectation! I feel Dr. Devgan make the tough decision process easier on patient’s end, while take extra efforts at his end. Although I live in Texas while Dr. Devgan is in California, I feel I have the doctor close to me as I can email him anytime. He responded to my emails quickly every time. He also gave me his cell phone number for me to text/call him for urgent matter. I didn’t have the need to use that.
At the surgery day, Dr. Devgan greeted me and confirmed with me the target vision we want to achieve before going to the operating room. In the operating room, I recall the nurse read out loudly the lens manufacture, power for double checking within the operating team. I like the professional due diligence they do. Dr. Devgan gave me eye drops and guided me to see the center of the lights. I don’t recall anything after that. I like to commend Dr. Devgan’s patient coordinator Jodi. She scheduled the appointments to make it easier on my end, even considering the traffic. She called me several times to remind me various things, including stop using the yellow bottle eye drop two weeks after the surgery, although the written pre-operation and post-operation instruction is already very clear and informative. In a word, she is awesome!
I was suffering from vision problems and wanted to have cataract surgery since 2015, but fear for complication. If you like me, a high-risk patient, I strongly suggest you to go see Dr. Devgan no matter where you live. It took me two trips to complete the journey. My husband and I both feel it’s absolutely worth and is one of the best decisions we have ever made.
Thank you so much, Dr. Devgan and your awesome team!!
Michael Thomas
Dr. Devgan, is amazing. I am so glad we chose Dr. Devgan to perform my cataract surgeries.
My cataracts were not severe, but after several years, they were getting to the point that the lens was cloudy enough that my vision could not be corrected back to 2020 with corrective lenses.
My corneas have residual damage from from the 18 and 22 cut radial keratotomy (RK) surgeries performed on my eyes 37 years ago in 1885. The ophthalmologists I have seen over the last 10 years warned of difficulties in the cataract surgery for patients with extensive RK cuts. No need to enumerate them here, plenty of resources online describe these difficulties.
We spent weeks seeking out researching and researching experts with experience performing cataract surgery for patients with extensive RK cuts. Our search led us to Dr. Uday Devgan.
Our initial consultation Tuesday 6/14/2022 with Dr. Devgan was refreshing and encouraging. During the very few minutes we were waiting in the lobby, there was Dr. Devgan, talking with patients, informative, reassuring, so friendly and upbeat.
After Dr. Devgan‘s cheerful and competent technicians conducted an extensive battery of tests, Dr. Devgan, spent more time with me and my wife than I have spent with any other physician. I felt like I had a one-on-one graduate discussion with a leading instructor at UCLA, where I believe Dr. Devgan, is still teaching.
Dr. Devgan, showed us actual videos of how the surgery is performed on eyes of patients even more damaged than mine.
Between our initial consultation and the surgery, I sent Dr. Devgan, lots of questions on numerous occasions, which he answered thoroughly, usually within less than an hour, sometimes with supporting research materials.
The preoperative instructions were very clear, and I followed them exactly as prescribed.
Dr. Devgan, performed the cataract surgery on my left eye Monday 7/18/2022. I think everyone is pretty much “creeped out“ by anything being done to their eyes. I was partially sedated, and my experience was like a pleasant and interesting dream with really nice people taking care of me. Nothing to be “creeped out“ about.
I took fairly detailed notes during recovery. It was about a week before my vision started to improve. Improvements were gradual, and fairly well stabilized after a month, I was able to get corrective lenses. This was a tough transition period, not a good time to plan anything that requires lots of reading.
And once again, during this recovery period, lots more questions for Dr. Devgan. I recall one of Dr. Devgan‘s responses, on a Saturday no less, took just 15 minutes.
I think you get the idea. With Dr. Devgan, you will get:
The best care available,
Someone who is really on your team,
Faster responses to your questions than you ever thought possible from medical practitioners, and
A feeling more like a visit with friends than a trip to the doctor.
From a very grateful Michael Thomas, Sunday, 10/16/2022, looking forward to having my right eye surgery a week from tomorrow.
Robert Stark
Let me start by saying Dr. Devgan is one of the nicest doctors you'll run into.
I went to him for elective lens replacement to correct my presbyopia and my distance vision getting to the point where glasses were becoming a need.
During the consultation we decided that the Panoptix trifocals were a good option.
Surgery was so easy. The prep team was extremely nice and Dr. Devgan's placement of the new lenses was perfect. The day after surgery I was seeing so good. I haven't been able to type on the laptop for years without reading glasses, but here I am typing this without the slightest need for glasses.
I truly couldn't be happier that I decided to do the surgery and that I choose a top notch doctor.
I know I've told you this in person but thanks so much Dr. Devgan.
teresa luk
Dr. Devgan is super friendly, and his confidence is contagious right from the first time he spoke to me. I knew instantly I am lucky to find the right doctor to take care of my eyes. Thumbs up and five stars for his skills and professionalism, no question about it. Thank you doctor!
Go Panudda
I just completed intraocular lens exchange on my 2nd eye this week…the procedures on both eyes were quick and painless. Prior to surgery, I had pre-existing conditions that require skills and expertise to adjust my vision. I wore eyeglasses since elementary school and now I can wake up and not have to reach for my glasses anymore. The vision gets clearer as the days go by…Now I can see 20/20…thank you so much Dr. Uday Devgan!!
For anyone searching the internet for an exceptional surgeon, look no further…I highly recommend Dr. Devgan. He is also very kind and quick to respond to my emails and concerns…The surgery center and his office staff were also highly efficient and I had ‘zero’ wait time at every single appointment with Dr. Devgan. Make sure you read the pre-op, post-op instructions and watch his video on how to prepare for day of surgery…the preps were detailed and made me feel at ease and not so nervous at day of surgery. Overall, a very satisfied and happy customer:)
Frank Scharo
I chose Dr Devgan after extensive research to find the most qualified surgeon for Posterior Polar Cataracts. I wanted the absolute best. Dr Devgan's credentials were stellar and the results after surgery in both eyes have exceeded my expectations. The best I can describe it is like suddenly seeing in 4K TV, brilliant crisp colors and sharp detail, the whole world is a different and wonderful place! I might add too that the degree of professionalism with Dr Devgan's staff is top notch, his office in Beverly Hills is a class act. Dr Devgan himself is personable and reassuring, showing an unrushed genuine interest in my case, he has personally called me on several occasions. Eye surgery is serious business, there is no one else that I would trust my vision. Thank you Dr Devgan, you have given me the gift of sight.
Andrea Deiso-Klein
Dr. Devgan has not only removed my cataracts, I also opted for my Astigmatism to be corrected, and could use care credit thru the office as well. Please note, I am in the 1% of severe astigmatism and Dr. Devgan corrected this with 20/20 vision! This is a miracle, since I have been wearing glasses since I was 5 years old and am now 72 years old. I am still amazed and thankful. Dr. Devgan is not only an expert in eyes, he is soooo passionate about eyes, light hearted and made me feel at complete ease with the surgery. His staff in the office and at the surgical center are highly organized and caring. I might add this was a pain free process...What more can I say...
Jean St James
Dr. Devgan is FANTASTIC!! I had the complication of having had radial keratotomy when I was younger, so when I had the cataract surgery done on my right eye by another "top" surgeon for twice the cost ($6000it was a nightmare!! Dr. Devgan, who did the cataract surgery on my left eye, assured me, there would be no complications and he was right!. My vision in my left eye is so sharp, so clear and he did it for half the cost. My right eye I still struggle with - vision gets blurry especially at night. He's smart, caring, not about the money, just about sincere, superb care! He is genius!
Barbara Kahn
As a patient of the highly regarded Dr. Devgan, I experienced my vision to be transformed from 20/200 and 20/80 to 20/10, due to the talent and surgical skill of the gifted Dr. Devgan.He thoroughly and patiently explained the cataract removal/lens replacement procedure . I never experienced any discomfort.
Blurry images are now crisp and defined, colors are radiant and vivid.Every visual aspect of life has significantly improved: reading, driving, watching movies..everything!
It is no wonder that Dr. Devgan is so respected and held in such high esteem. Thus he is the choice of his medical colleagues who travel from all locations in the U.S. and foreign countries to have Dr Devgan perform their surgeries. (I met an opthalmologist from the east coast scheduled the same morning as I was.)
In addition to achieving amazing results he is kind and genuinely caring with a wonderful bedside manner.These are only a few of the reasons why all his patients are so grateful for a life changing procedure, (restoring vision) including myself! Thank you, Dr. Devgan!
Erika Ranezay
Dr Devgan is Excellent! Fine bedside manners, patient, answers all your questions, makes you feel calm & relaxed. Surgery was quick, painless. My outlook on life totally changed, colors are so bright & beautiful, everything is sharp & clear. Recovery is smooth, no pain or grainy feeling in my eyes. I highly recommend Cataract surgery, it’s a blessing in my life & Dr. Devgan is that blessing.
With heartfelt appreciation, Dr Devgan, my full name is Erika Ranezay Felsööry.

For years I searched for a ophthalmologist who understood the issues, challenges, and struggles a person with high myopia and high astigmatism faces – in my case -15.75 & cyl -3.75. When it came time to consider cataract surgery, I found by accident Uday’s "Cataract Coach for Doctors” on YouTube. I contacted him immediately and he wrote back the next day that he could help. During our first consult, Uday mapped out what my options were and the risks and results I could expect. I'm conversant with my eye issues and appreciated that Uday engaged in conversation that was both helpful and technical. I wanted all the information and he happily gave it to me, plus answered any and all questions I had. Uday used his extensive experience, not just computer recommendations, to hand pick the correct lenses for my situation and I believe his process will be covered in a new "Cataract Coach" video. I was still worried about the first surgery, but after a few more conversations with Uday, I moved forward. During my recovery I kept it touch via text which was reassuring. He often texted back in minutes. The end result? A month after surgery I easily see 20/25 and can see 20/20 with both eyes. The last time I read the 20/20 line, I was in 3rd grade. The bummer-I lost the high myopia microscopic vision that is the only advantage of being so near-sighted. However, it’s a small price to pay for the ability to choose any pair of non-prescription sunglasses I want, passing the DMV eye test and getting back in the air as a private pilot because I can now pass the FAA eye exam. Uday is a talented surgeon who obviously loves his work. I would recommend his talent to anyone looking for a cataract eye surgeon and am willing to talk with anyone about my experience. Thanks Dr Devgan.

I am writing this withour contact lenses and glasses. I am so glad and grateful to Dr Devgan. God bless and help other people with their good eye sight !!
Neeta M
Dr. Uday Devgan is an exceptional cataract surgeon and a top leader in the field. He performed cataract surgery on my right eye which had pre-existing macular edema, thus my case was challenging. I needed an exceptional cataract surgeon, and Dr. Devgan was just that. My cataract surgery went very well without any complications. The day after my cataract surgery (today), my vision is 20/20 without glasses. I am very happy with the results. Dr. Devgan chose the most technologically advanced IOL for my eye and gave the best care, from initial evaluation all the way to surgery and post-op visit. His staff is friendly and efficient, and made everything go smoothly.
Adam Grant
From the moment I entered the office until the last follow up appointment, Dr. Devgan and his entire staff were amazing. Attentive. Prompt. Professional. Highly communicative. The results are amazing - I strongly recommend Dr. Devgan and his entire office - simply the best.
Larry Kosmont
Dr. Uday Devgan is at the top of his profession. Extraordinary surgery skills, very well-run office with friendly and attentive staff. Great results speak volumes, and that is the case with Dr. Devgan.
susan levine
Dr Devgan is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. He has that rare combination of warmth and confidence that makes a patient feel they are in very competent hands. I highly recommend him.
Karen Pomer
Dr. Devgan changed my life...I can safely drive at night again and no longer need glasses, with the exception of fun sunglasses! His office is friendly and the procedure was effortless!
Eszter Gole
What a wonderful experience to be taken care of Dr. Devgan, his office staff and the staff at his surgery center.I have been wearing glasses since I was a young girl.
I developed cataract and my choice and only choice was Dr. Devgan for my surgery. He was highly recommended to me by previous patients and other ophthalmologist.
CHe explained everything to me. He was very warm and patient. I had my surgery Monday morning and by the afternoon my vision was almost perfect. By Tuesday I was seeing perfectly.
I am very happy with the results, and the whole experience . I had no pain at all, did not feel anything . I am very pleased . Dr. Devgan is the best.
Jim Williams
Dr. Devgan is a great doctor and an accomplished surgeon who is also very nice, patient and honest. He will take time to discuss your individual situation and fully inform you of all your options. He performed cataract surgery on my right eye yesterday and the results are spectacular! I had 20-20 vision after just 24 hours! It was like going from an old fashioned TV set to a high definition OLED set. I will be having him do my left eye soon.
Maureen Peyrot
Life changing! Just had my cataracts corrected by Dr. Devgan and I can see perfectly! I can't believe I don't need reading glasses anymore! Like most people, the idea of getting laser surgery on your eyes is beyond daunting but Dr. Devgan immediately took my fears away. From his office staff to the surgery center, he cultivates a welcoming environment as every person who works for him follows his incredible lead. He also stays current with the latest procedures and equipment. Dr. Devgan is an extraordinary surgeon and has an excellent bedside manner. My life was made dramatically better since having my cataract surgery. I recommend him highly and without hesitation.
LIsa Klein
Dr. Devgan is simply the best! He is an expert surgeon and he really cares about his patients. I just had my second eye done, and both procedures were flawless. The first procedure was during the height of COVID and I felt very safe. You can always reach him with a question on his email or cell, and although i didn't need to do so, it was great to know he was available.
I went back to my normal life the very next day. Don't hesitate to have surgery with Dr. Devgan. I am truly grateful to be his patient.
Elena Marchisotto
Dr. Devgan is quite simply extraordinary, for his expertise, his skill, his commitment to patients. The doctor performed cataract surgery on both my husband and me. The experience was truly exceptional from start to finish. Dr. Devgan's team initiated us with professional and state-of-the art care, that truly demonstrated their consideration of us as patients. Jodi Ojeda patiently and explicitly explained the entire process of the surgery, before and after-care. We left the office with clearly written directions on both. Dr. Devgan has succeeded in making the experience of cataract removal one that flows in a way that reveals his understanding of the concerns of patients and what needs to be accomplished. My husband and I are both enjoying our 20-20 vision. The surgery, in the hands of Dr. Devgan, has improved the quality of our lives.
Anne-Olga Iwach, PhD
First, I would like to thank Dr. Devgan for my two life changing surgeries. Dr. Devgan and his staff demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and excellence towards me. The first cataract surgery on my left eye went so painlessly and well that I was looking forward to the next procedure on my right eye. The outstanding skill of Dr. Devgan impressed me very much. I wish Dr. Devgan good health so that he will help many more people in the future like he did for me. Should you have any cataract problems, I would sincerely recommend anyone to contact Dr. Devgan where you will receive the best care.
E Sim
I knew going in to see Dr. Devgan that he was amazing. My husband and a few friends have all had cataract surgery done by him. And the one who didn't wished he had! Dr. Devgan really knows his stuff and is accessible and ready to answer questions. The staff is friendly and helpful making the whole process even better. But most of all whole process is quick, and easy and I felt very taken care of without any anxiety. And so far, (it's been 2 wks for the 1st and 1 week for the 2nd eye), everything is as he said it would be. My vision is bright and clear, and as an artist, the colors are back!
Neil Conrad
I urge everyone to go to Dr. Devgan's website. He has the best video explaining lens choices for your surgery. His self introductory video will make you confident he is the one you want to do your cataract surgery. He is the doctor other opthalmologist turn to when they need cataract surgery.
Wonderful office staff. A smooth experience from start to finish.
Jean humoresque
After my vision in my left eye was heavily compromised by a cataract, I went to a local eye surgeon hoping to have cataract surgery. When he told me I had significant adhesions (synechiae) and a membrane in that eye that had stuck part of my lens to my iris and would complicate my surgery, it seemed to me as though he didn’t have much experience in dealing with a situation like that.
So I decided to go to a complex cataract expert at a famous eye clinic, expecting to be reassured that he could handle it. But he shocked and frightened me by explaining that my adhesions were so extensive that there was a very good chance my surgery would fail. “Don’t worry,” he added, “if that happens you can have a more extensive surgery or surgeries to fix it.” This doctor talked at such great length about failure that my apprehension grew, and he also refused to give me any idea what my chances of success might be, or what those extra surgeries might involve.
I felt lost. I did a lot of online research to discover if there was an alternative for me, and after a great deal of searching I located Dr. Devgan. Reading about him at his website, and reading so many enthusiastic reviews from people who had had other complicated situations whom he had helped, gave me heart and hope. I resolved to go to Los Angeles and see him. I was fortunate to obtain an appointment only about three weeks from my call.
Everyone working at Dr. Devgan’s office was friendly efficient, and upbeat. At my consultation, Dr. Devgan spoke with quiet assurance, saying that the surgery was something he could do. He gave me a sense of peace and confidence. I realized there were still dangers and risks, but I felt that I had gone to the best person possible to deal with a delicate surgery. I had my surgery a month ago, and so far (knock wood!) my vision is transformed, sharp and clear in that eye.
Dr. Devgan was also extremely responsive and accessible. It really is true that he does answer emails and calls in a very timely fashion. I’m not sure how he does it – does the man sleep? – but it is another facet of his superior patient care. Words really can’t suffice to thank him enough.

Dr. Uday Devgan is an excellent ophthalmologist. He has extensive knowledge of the eye, cataracts, lenses and types of surgery needed. I saw another ophthalmologist before but felt uncomfortable and consulted Dr. Devgan due to his reputation and I am so glad I did. His bedside manner is superior; he made me feel at home in his office and at the surgery center. After my visit, I had full confidence in him and his surgical skills and this is very important as your vision is at stake.
I waited for two months to write this review as now I can give a complete account of my experience. I had laser cataract surgery on my right eye done on July 26th 2021 and the left eye on August 2nd 2021. I chose the panoptic lens for both eyes. Soon after surgery my vision was clear and sharp and I could see clearly without glasses both for far and near vision. At first, it was hard working for one week with one eye with 20/20 vision and the other eye still blurred and I used to have headaches relieved by Tylenol. Then I had the second surgery, and subsequently both eyes had 20/20 vision. I had halos and starbursts when I saw lights and I also had a crescent shaped peripheral shadow on the lateral side of both eyes. This was not a surprise as Dr. Devgan prepared me for this, he said it might take 3-6 months for my eyes to adjust and they might go away or my brain will have the capacity to ignore them. I am surprised and happy that my eyes have adjusted and I don’t see the halos that often and now they are insignificant. My vision is perfect now, night vision and driving is good, except that I cannot read in dim light and need a brighter light to read menus in a dark restaurant and that I can live with.
The entire experience beginning with the office visits, surgery and post op visit was wonderful. Dr. Devgan treated me like family, and that was special. I am very grateful to Dr. Devgan and his entire staff for this exceptional and compassionate care. I am a Physician and I highly recommend him with full confidence.

I had bi-lateral cataract surgery with Dr. Devgan on November 2, 2021 and could not be more pleased with the results. My vision is my most important sense and Dr. Devgan has given me the vision outcome I was seeking; namely 20/20 vision and freedom from contact lenses and progressive glasses.
I came from out-of-state because Dr. Devagan was highly recommended to me by a family member. I found his thorough consultation to be very informative and his superb bedside manner to be reassuring about moving forward with the surgery. He took the time to make me feel comfortable with the procedure and what I could expect afterward. The entire process as well as the results has exceeded my expectations.
I am now six-weeks post-surgery and Dr. Devgan has been very proactive in managing my follow-up care with an out-of-state colleague of his. He has been available by email or phone and has consulted with his colleague regarding my case. I feel confident that I made the right decision to have Dr. Devgan perform my cataract surgery and I would recommend him without any reservations.
Gunnar Palm
My review is a bit overdo, I had my Lens replacement procedure done at the end of November 2021. Dr Devgan and his entire team are amazing. Dr Devgan was the best in class with regards to answering questions and making me feel comfortable in understanding the differences in lenses available as well as providing me with realistic expectations with the lens options.
The procedure itself went so smooth and was completely painless. My results are amazing, I almost never need to use glasses at all. I do need minimal strength cheaters in either low light with very small print or when my eyes fatigue after a long day.
Thanks again Dr Devgan. I appreciated your awesome service and direct contact with all my questions and concerns leading up to my procedure!
Judy Codding
Dr Devgan is a fabulous Doctor who is very accessible and has a wonderful way with patients. What counts are the results and I now have 20/20 vision. What could be better? I can't imagine having anyone else do my cataracts.
Jo Ann Bramble
Dr. Devgan was recommended to me for cataract surgery. From the first call to make an appointment to the last visit after my second surgery, I could not be more pleased. Dr. Devgan’s staff is impressive and Dr. Devgan himself is exemplary. I had total confidence in Dr. Devgan and the result of my experience is proof that my confidence was not misplaced. I have, and will continue to recommend Dr. Devgan to anyone requiring cataract surgery.
Donald Rubright
Having had a bad experience with a cataract removal eight years ago I was determined to find the best surgeon possible to perform the procedure on my other eye. After much research and a timely referral from a retinal specialist, I found Dr. Devgan. His qualifications as a surgeon are simply outstanding, certainly second to none in the business. In addition to his surgical practice, he is also an award winning clinical professor of ophthalmology and researcher educating the next generation of vision professionals.
As hoped for, my cataract surgery went flawlessly and two days later I have sparkling 20/20 vision. What sets Dr. Devgan apart from many other fine surgeons is his accessibility and empathy for his patients. Unasked he provides you with his e-mail address and cell phone number and personally responds to your questions. My surgery was set for 5:30 a.m., on Monday and as the day approached I was experiencing a little anxiety. Dr. Devgan personally called me Saturday morning to make sure I didn't have any questions and to reassure me that he would see to it that I got the finest care possible. A class act in every respect. A wonderful and caring physician.
Deborah L. Mc Clain
Can't thank Dr. Devgan and his awesome staff for a very comforting experience by an extremely skillful surgeon. Both my eyes were amazingly clear shortly after each surgery and vision remarkably improved beyond expectation. No tears, no soreness. Most impressively, was Dr. Devgan's detailed responsiveness to all my questions and concerns both pre and post surgery.
Ashok Agarwal
Dr. Devgan did my cataract surgery on my both eyes. He did the surgery in a few minutes and I was able to see clearly soon after my surgery. He is an amazing surgeon and a very polite doctor. He took his time to examine me and hear what I had to say about my vision. I am very grateful to him to give my vision back. His staff at the office as well as at the surgical center were amazing. I am very thankful to him.
Sara Aviles
As someone who is terrified of even getting a shot, I was pleasantly surprised how simple and painless my cataract procedure was. Dr. Uday Devgan has great bed side manner, and made me comfortable through the entire process. I wasn't sure how much of my vision I would regain as I have had my cataract since I was very young, and finally decided to give it a try at age 30. I was only seeing 10% out of my cataract eye before the procedure and afterwards I was able to see 20/20 in both my eyes! I was very happy with the entire process and would highly recommend.
Anneke Campbell
I highly recommend Dr. Devgan and his staff. His manner is courteous and positive, his surgical skills are impeccable, those who assist him are warm and efficient. Choose Dr. Devgan for your cataract surgery and you and your eyes will be in the best possible hands!
Wayne Stahnke
I recommend Dr. Devgan very highly. I contacted him originally because I was unhappy with my interactions with two other cataract surgeons with whom I had met. I learned from them that I am an outlier: I have long eyes, which should have made me shortsighted, but my corneas are so flat that I was in fact farsighted. This is an unusual combination. These surgeons told me frankly that they could not make any predictions about how my vision would turn out after surgery, which made me uneasy. As it turns out, Dr. Devgan has done a great deal of research on lens choice, including for eyes of unusual geometry such as mine. The results after surgery are just what I hoped for: I have perfect distance vision and first-rate visual acuity. Not many surgeons could have achieved this happy result, I believe.
I was particularly pleased with Dr. Devgan's responses to my questions about choice of lenses. I have a fair grasp of geometric optics, which I studied in my training as an engineer, and I wanted to make an informed choice based on an understanding of the optics involved. Dr. Devgan provided me the detailed information I needed, just as I hoped.
Over and above Dr. Devgan's facility with surgery and his outstanding ability in choosing lenses, I was pleased that he and his staff made the entire process as easy and comfortable as it could be. For example, his office provided a bottle of the medicated eye drops I needed after surgery, rather than simply giving me a prescription, saving me a trip to the pharmacy. I thought this was a nice touch.
Finally, I should comment on the surgery center and surgery itself. After my recovery, the center called to ask what they could have done to make my experience easier and more pleasant. I responded that I could not think of anything, because I sincerely could not.
There is a reason that Dr. Devgan has earned such high approval from his patients--he has earned it. If you choose Dr. Devgan for cataract surgery, you will be pleased with your choice.
Ashok Dhawan
I was concerned about my cataract surgery so I talked to everyone I could before deciding to go with dr Devgan. During my initial visit, it became obvious that he cares for my well being and is not giving canned answers like other doctors I had interviewed. I am so glad I picked Dr Devgan for my surgery since the results were amazing. My vision is better than it has ever been and the recovery was fast and painless. He is so careful and capable in performing the surgery, that I did not feel any anxiety as I got my cataract fixed in both eyes.
Carmen Michealree
After watching doctor Devgan's videos and seeing his good patient ratings, there was no doubt that he was the doctor that I was looking for. He was always approachable and responded to my emails promptly. Now I have a sharp far distance vision (20/20). Thanks Dr Devgan!
Rob Meyer
Ten reasons to go to Doctor Devgan for your cataract surgery: (1) His credentials are impeccable. (2) He treats every patient as if they were family. (3) He is extremely thorough in analyzing each patient’s condition. (4) He has done literally thousands of IOL implants – that’s all he does. (4) As a specialist he has seen every possible complication with IOL replacement surgery. (5) He’s the guy who teaches other cataract surgeons how to do it. (6) His surgical facilities are state of the art. (7) His practice puts a high priority on patient comfort and reduced risk of infection. (8) His staff is competent, pleasant and professional. (9) His pricing for premium lenses is in-line with other IOL surgeons. (10) He loves what he does and you can see it.
Timothy Sweeney
Dr. Devgan is not only the best ophthalmologist; he is one of the best doctors I have encountered. He is clearly the only doctor I would recommend for cataract surgery. With him guiding me through the process, I chose Vivity premium lenses with .5 mini mono vision. The first surgery was 3 weeks ago on my dominant eye at Plano and yesterday my non-dominant eye at .50 mini monovision. I see 20-20 or better at distance, 20-16 intermediate and about 20-20 at 14-16 inches. I really have no need for any glasses, unless I am working or reading at 10 to 12 inches.
He has a great personality and is totally worth spending the money to get his services.
Karen Woo
Have nothing but great things to say about my cataract surgeries by Dr. Devgan. He is a very talented & experienced surgeon. My surgeries were fast & painless as were my recoveries. My vision is now amazing! I no longer need contact lenses. I see very clearly and colors are brighter.
Thank you Dr. Devgan!
Karen Loewenstern
Having had RK decades ago, I was skeptical about cataract surgery and googled until l found someone who specialized in doing the surgery on RK patients. Dr. Devgan's expertise and great manner made feel secure in my choice and I have had great results from the surgery he performed. The process was easy, painless and my vision is sharp and clear. I'm so glad I finally made the decision and chose this doctor. Now my husband is going to have Dr. Devgan do his cataract surgery.
Camille Sanders
I can share first hand experience with Dr. Devgan. He is the doctor other doctors go to. At my first appointment I knew he was the one. Highly educated and trained. Amazing bedside manner, I am 100% satisfied, above my expectations with results within days of cataract surgery. Eyesight even better, sharper, than expected. Dr Devgan does not disappoint!
Diane Baucke
If you are in need of cataract surgery and looking for the absolute best experience, look no further than Dr. Devgan. I had my first surgery done by a different doctor in Orange County and it did not go well. After months of searching and multiple consults with other Opthalmologists I came across Dr. Devgan and will be forever grateful that I did. Review his credentials and you can be confident you'll be in the best hands. In addition to his qualifications, he is patient, genuinely caring and takes his time to listen and answer any questions you may have (and I had a lot). In contrast to prior consults with other surgeons, he was able to answer detailed questions about my first surgery that others were not. To say he goes above and beyond is an understatement. He performed my cataract surgery and the entire experience at the surgery center was fantastic. The staff is attentive and caring, the anesthesiologist is amazing and Dr. Devgan makes the surgery a breeze. His website states that he “treats all patients like family” and he does just that. Right after surgery I felt so good that my husband and I went for lunch (wearing the protective sunglasses he puts on of course!). There was no pain, and once my eye was a bit less dilated I could see beautifully. I had surgery on first eye back in November and still have issues with that eye. My only regret is not finding him sooner so he could have done both surgeries. Thank you Dr. Devgan for a wonderful experience before, during and after surgery!
Stuart Paul
I did a lot of research before I had my cataract surgery and found there are many excellent surgeons in this city. But I doubt that any are as warm, caring, and as qualified as Dr. Devgan. He told me what to expect and how long it would take and answered every question I had. The idea of cataract surgery can be scary but Dr. Devgan convinced me quickly that it was something I would be happy that I did and that there would be no pain. He was correct I am enjoying my new eye sight and have not had one minute of pain. I also left his office with his cell phone number and personal email, how many doctors can you say do that. I highly recommend Dr. Devgan and I'm sure you will be very happy with your choice.
STEVE SALANT
Dr. Devgan was recommended to me several years ago by my Beverly Hills ophthalmologist who was very happy with his results.
I recently had my 2nd eye cataract surgery with Dr Devgan.
You can just tell, Dr. Devgan loves what he does and as a result, gets great results. Prior to the surgery, I was extremely near sighted so the surgery is more difficult.
Within 48 hours, I am seeing much better than I was with contact lenses and am grateful for his skill set.
I have recommended Dr. Devgan to friends and clients over the years. Those that chose to use his services are glad they did.
Thank you to you and your staff.
Kitty Belendez
I chose Dr Uday Devgan to perform my eye cataract surgery because of my husband’s wonderful experience with Dr Devgan four years ago. Since my hubby had used the prescription drug Flomax, we were advised by our local ophthalmologist that Flomax could cause eye complications for my hubby when having cataract surgery. So, our ophthalmologist had referred hubby to Dr Devgan because he had expertise with that situation. Dr Devgan’s surgery on both of my hubby’s eyes was very successful and without any complications.
Now four years later when I was diagnosed with cataracts in both of my eyes, I too chose Dr Devgan even though I would need to travel 25 miles (50 miles round trip) farther to see Dr Devgan than if I were to see a local eye surgeon closer to my home in Santa Clarita, California. Dr Devgan examined my eyes, and his technician performed numerous tests and scans of my eyes. Dr Devgan then showed me close-up computer images of the cataracts in my eyes, and explained his proposed procedure in detail. Initially, I was nervous and fearful about having the cataract eye surgery with trifocal lens implant in both eyes that would be done one week apart. However, Dr Devgan educated me on what to expect, which alleviated my fears and helped me feel at ease. He has a lovely modern office, friendly and helpful staff, an awesome high-tech surgery center with ample parking. Plus he has lots of information and illustrations on his website. Whenever I had a question, Dr Devgan allowed me to email him directly, or call his direct cell phone … and Dr Devgan actually answered! Dr Devgan’s surgery on my eyes was quick, easy, painless, and successful. He is highly skilled, friendly, and comforting. Everything about the experience was top-notch. I now have 20-20 vision and can see perfectly without wearing eyeglasses! From my perspective, Dr Devgan is the Rockstar of Eye Surgeons!
Jeffrey Marcketta
Dr. Devgan is not only a great physician and and highly trained ophthalmologist, but a wonderful man with a great bedside manner. He is extremely well educated and credentialed and has a tremendous amount of experienced combined with a way of explaining your condition and the prescribed treatment in a non-alarming manner. It took no convincing from Dr. Devgan for me to proceed with my necessary cataract procedure. And to my great pleasure and his, it was a resounding success and my vision improved dramatically and immediately as a result. I have many excellent physicians and Dr. Devgan has vaulted to the top of my list and I give him the highest recommendation possible. He will not steer you wrong and will provide the best care available anywhere.
Dr. Dennis Richardson
Dr. Devgan is great! I am an optometrist and I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Devgan in his office for a while. I have seen the work of many surgeons and when I first saw Dr. Devgan's results on his patients, I could not believe what I was seeing. His patients were seeing incredibly well after only one day after their cataract surgery and the eye health was unbelievable as if nothing had been done. I developed cataracts earlier than usual due to retinal detachments and there was absolutely no question who was going to do my cataract surgery. I had both eyes done a couple months apart and the end result was me seeing 20/20 at both distance and near. I had worn glasses since 4th grade and after my cataract surgeries, I do not wear glasses. Absolutely amazing! Dr. Devgan is in an entirely different league when it comes to cataract surgeons and I HIGHLY recommend him.
Janice Lieberman
Dr. Devgan's office staff is friendly & helpful!
Dr. Devgan is brilliant, available, warm & caring!
The best overall droctor's office I have ever been to!
Anita Grossi
Dr. Devgan is one of a kind. Not only did he do my cataract surgery, but, as he said, I sent him 25 emails and he answered everyone of them that day or within the hour! What a wonderful experience. I didn't have any discomfort at all and was seeing perfect within 3 days. I have worn glasses since 7 years old, and now I'm seeing 20/20. I had a correction of -9; legally blind. He's the best. Don't even consider going to another surgeon. Thank you so much, Dr. Devgan!!
Reed Mulder
Dr. Devgan was amazing throughout the entire process; from initial consultation through post-op care. Having monocular vision elevated my concern with finding the right surgeon and I consulted with other doctors until finding the comfort and trust with Dr. Devgan to perform my cataract surgery. He thought through every step of the procedure to keep it safe for me given it was my only good eye. My vision is fantastic and I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Devgan and his team. They are rock stars!!
Robin Daley
Dr. Devgan embodies all the most important attributes an eye surgeon can have. He has incredible manual dexterity and has developed novel techniques, and has invented his own specialized surgical instruments. He has a great love for his profession, and has accumulated vast amounts of knowledge about it. Having performed tens of thousands of surgeries, he has encountered nearly every unexpected twist and turn a procedure can take, and has learned to think quickly on his feet.
Dr. Devgan has a genuine appreciation for the incredible creation that is the eye. He devotes an exceptional amount of time and thought to the complex mathematical calculations and surgical planning needed to perfectly choose the appropriate lenses and treatments for each case. He is a leader in teaching his techniques to future cataract specialists, and maintains a contemporary awareness of the newest advanced technologies and devices. Dr. Devgan is particularly adaptive in his communications with each individual patient, and shares the precise photos taken of their eyes, pointing out what needs to be done to treat the issues at hand. He tailors his explanations so that even the most complicated procedures are plainly spelled out. Dr. Devgan is an example of superior professional competence, courage, and confidence, and I do most assuredly recommend him without reservation.
johng
After being told that I needed cataract surgery I spent some considerable amount of time finding the best eye surgeon. I found Dr. Devgan and he exceeded all my expectations. He took time with me, explained in as much detail as I wanted my current condition and what could be done. He is a patient, thorough, a very pleasant and charming person. The surgery went extremely well and the recovery was both rapid and complete. I now have the best vision I have ever had and am completely happy with both the treatment and care he provided. I completely and without reservation recommend Dr. Devgan as both highly competent and giving me the best patient experience I have ever had..
Judy Lurie
When I was faced with a more complicated cataract surgery, due to prior macular hole/vitrectomy surgery, I wanted not just a good ophthalmalogist but the best and most experienced one. I found that in Dr. Uday Devgan. Dr. Devgan is an exceptional doctor. He was very thorough in the exam and figuring out what lens would result in the best outcome. I'm thrilled with my resultant 20/20 vision with no more astigmatism, and would highly recommend Dr. Devgan.
Gil Holland
Dr Devgan is great- a true mensch! He gives the surgical advice that he would want for his own eyes and tells it like it is. I am grateful for his direct and honest approach. He is ethical and will never railroad patients into having more surgery- especially when the best judgment is no more surgery.
Monte Herring
In the course of my advanced age and career, I have never experienced a more satisfying, pleasant and professional surgical physician than Dr. Devgan. On the scale of 1 to 10, he rates a 15. If you need cataract removal, run, don't walk to his clinic.
Russ Jones
It's been 4 months since my cataract surgery with Dr. Devgan. I wanted to wait a while to be able to give a full perspective on my experience before writing this review.
To begin, Dr. Devgan is at the absolute top of his field. He is an incredibly busy man, but will take the time to discuss your needs and provide thoughtful answers to your questions. His office staff was a little weak on communication, at least with me, and failed to provide the pre-appointment reading material. His office is equipped with the absolute state-of-the-art equipment for precise measurement of the eye parameters needed to provide the optimum replacement lenses.
In my case, I had astigmatism in both eyes as well as rather serious impairment from cataracts. I was surprised to learn that the surgery center simply stocks lenses with every astigmatism prescription, so there's no wait to obtain customized lenses.
I chose the Vivity lenses because I work with a computer a lot ant wanted to have clear enough vision to work without glasses. The result is that indeed, I can read my computer screen and more generally, normal size text, without classes, and there are no halos or other weird optical effects. Overall it has been a good experience, but now with the experience of hindsight, I think I would have preferred the simple single-focus interocular lenses. Why? I was accustomed to wearing glasses anyway, and after the surgery I got a new prescription for progressive lens glasses. Quite a mild prescription, that improves my vision at all distances compared to unaided vision, so it's easier to read. At the same time, my distance vision could have been more clear with the "standard" lens. I am interested in astronomy and feel like that interest would be better served with the standard lenses, and I could just wear glasses (as I do anyway) for reading and working at my computer. That's not to say I'm dissatisfied with the results though: I would say my vision is perfectly adequate, and as-advertised. Overall I am thrilled with the results.
The very first thing I noticed after the surgery was how much richer and more saturated were the colors of everytthing around me. That's a joy that has continued every day since. I was also amazed how clear the vision from my right eye was, since it had always been the weaker eye (due to higher astigmatism). For reasons unknown, the left eye is not as clear, and also varies, sometimes being quite clear and other times blurry. Another effect, unanticipated, is how my vastly improved vision affected my overall mood, addressing a sort of depression I didn't fully realize I had. I actually felt a couple of inches taller too.
In summary, I think Dr. Devgan is the best surgeon you could have, and whichever option you choose, your only regret will be not having the surgery sooner.
Dale Johnsen
My vision was altered surgically by an eye surgeon who misdiagnosed my eye problem and proceeded to surgically implanted the WRONG INTRAOCULAR LENS. Not only was the wrong lens implanted but also the wrong power of the lens that my eye needed. After this initial surgery to remove my cataract, my vision became worse. I could not see clearly at all. My vision was blurry and the first surgeon had no idea how to fix the problem. After a series of further tests I was then led to believe that there was “nothing” that could be done. NOT TRUE.
After contacting Dr. Devgan’s office and getting a “same day” appointment (his staff being so nice and realizing the angst I was going through), Dr. Devgan diagnosed the problem right away and gave me a solution. He KNEW IMMEDIATELY what was going on and told me very truthfully the course of action that needed to be taken. I WAS SO RELIEVED. Dr. Devgan could help me and I had HOPE, that he could get my vision back.AND HE DID!! He surgically did an intraocular exchange for the wrong lens and put the correct lens into my eye and RESTORED my vision.
Dr. Devgan is the THE LEADING cataract surgeon in the United States. He is world renowned. His skills are beyond compare. His patient education is the best. He knew what to do, and he fixed my problem. I was devastated and traumatized by my first cataract surgery. My subsequent two surgeries with Dr. Devgan were like a miracle to me. I would never go to any other doctor for cataract removal. HE IS THE BEST. His office and surgery center are state of the art. Beyond compare. I had no pain and no visual problems after he corrected what had been done wrongly. Only trust yourself and your family and friends to Dr. Devgan. HE IS THE BEST.

Dr Devgan is the best in the country there is no question that if you have him do your cataract surgery you can rest assured he has helped made the best decision for your eyes as well as being someone who makes you feel totally comfortable on the day of your surgery.
Steph Bryant
It’s taken me almost 5 months to write this review following my left eye surgery with Dr Devgan. The reason is that I wanted to be 100% convinced that I was completely satisfied and that my eye was functioning correctly with enough time to heal. I am a 30 year old who was very long-sighted in both eyes and was informed that laser surgery would not be the best option for me. I decided to go with intraocular lens surgery.
I am a very special case for reviewing Dr Devgan and that’s because I’ve had the rare opportunity to experience 2 completely different eye surgeons. I can compare the work of 2 surgeons who take the top positions on Yelp. So if you’re picking between Dr Paul C Lee (CCRS) and Dr Devgan I suggest to go for Dr Devgan and DO NOT hesitate. He may be more expensive but he is the best and here’s why I believe that to be the truth..
I had my first eye surgery in 2018 with Dr Paul C Lee (CCRS). I wanted to do one eye at a time to make sure I was happy with the process of healing. The experience with this surgery left me pretty terrified to commit to doing surgery on my left eye later down the line. The cost for this surgery with Dr Lee was $4.5k.
During the surgery with Dr Lee there was no anesthetist. I didn’t realize that an anesthetist would be so important to feeling calm and at ease - something that Dr Devgan factors into his surgery (read further on for why this is important). The day of the surgery Dr Lee and his assistants forgot to offer me any Valium until the very last moment when I had to ask for it myself having waited hours for my time to be operated on. During this time I had to drop different eye drops in my eye and sign some papers. Then I was led into a room that had a chair and a light above it but the Valium hadn’t even kicked in yet. I found the procedure to be excruciatingly uncomfortable and I whimpered throughout the 20-25min operation. I clenched my whole body with anxiety. I wouldn’t feel any pain thanks to the drops but I was completely terrified being fully awake and aware.
Since then that eye has the ability to see, however, the eye is slightly overcorrected and I’m also left with a large floater which is VERY annoying and hasn't disappeared 2 years later. I am told there’s nothing much they can do about the floater and that these things can occur. It’s quite annoying and the floater moves around the eye like a large dirty / greasy patch in my eye whenever I look in different directions.
The urge to get my left eye done increased but after being dissatisfied by my experience with Dr Lee I sought the advice of my eye doctor who suggested I meet DR DEVGAN 'the best eye surgeon in the world' according to my eye doctor.
Dr Devgan charged $400 (approx) for a consultation, this seemed like a lot of money but I had done my research and he seemed VERY VERY qualified to work on my eye. I met with him and brought along my records from Dr Lee’s surgery. I was thrilled that Dr Devgan was confident that he could do a much better job and I was comforted by him telling me that I had found the right place. Thank god! I felt like I was in the right hands finally. I booked my operation for the next week and was given eye drops to take leading up to that day. I was so excited!
On the day of the surgery with Dr Devgan and I was seen almost straight away when I entered the building. There was a lovely team working with Dr Devgan who made me feel so relaxed and happy! The anesthetist used Twilight anesthesia on me so I was SUPER SUPER calm and relaxed the whole way through. It was bliss!!! I couldn’t believe how quick the surgery took. It felt like less than 8mins and the recovery only took like a day!! I was even more happy when I met Dr Devgan the next day. He got much closer to hitting the right mark in getting my prescription almost on point. I can see very well and I'm so grateful that I found this guy! Don’t save money when your eyes are involved. You will get the quality of service with Dr Dvegan
Jeff Miyamoto
Eye surgery is an extremely delicate procedure and you want it done right the first time. I was very fortunate to be referred to Dr Devgan by my optometrist. With dozens of qualified ophthalmologists in LA the decision who to go with is a tough choice. Most of them probably have the latest eye measuring machines and the latest optics. But Dr Devgan is the difference. He takes the time to explain everything fully so you know what to expect. He wants you to feel completely comfortable with your decision. My wife plans on visiting Dr Devgan when her cataracts are ready to go. BTW I've worn corrective lenses since middle school. I'm now 64 with 20/20. Life is good.
Mackenzie Moquist
Dr.Devgan was awesome! He gave excellent patient care and was helpful and humorous. He was really thoughtful in planning out my surgery and I felt very comfortable with our plan. He is great at explaining things taking the time to answer any questions. I have great vision now and healing is going well. I would highly recommend Dr Devgan!
Marcy Kwitny
Excellent surgeon with a lot of integrity. Don't bother checking out other surgeons, because there's no ophthalmologist better than Dr. Devgan. If you have extreme myopia (nearsightedness), this is where you need to get your cataract surgery. There is a formula and a bit of an art form to getting the lens implant prescription exact and Dr. Devgan made it look effortless. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Dr. Devgan. You changed my life and I'm so grateful.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Devgan. This is a guy that other doctors go to when they need their eyes taken care of! He treats his patients with the utmost respect, brings a calmness to what can be a scary situation and has the best bedside manner of any doctor I have ever met.
I had previous cataract surgery from another doctor that resulted in a common condition called a PCO or "secondary cataract." I was very nervous about it and my doctor did not make me feel very comfortable about it. I reached out to Dr. Devgan, who agreed to see me and instantly put me at ease and took care of it with a YAG laser. After my procedure, Dr. Devgan followed-up with me on more than one occasion to make sure I was doing okay. Truly the best in class and wish I had gone to him from the very beginning!!

Dr. Devgan is the best eye surgeon in town! I am so glad the my optometrist recommended me to Dr. Devgan for cataract surgery. It is so amazing to have 20/20 clear vision after wearing thick glasses for 40 years! Dr. Devgan truly takes pride in his work and he is passionate about eye surgery. He always smiles and spends time to explain the situations, And he answers emails within the same day!!! I highly recommend Dr. Devgan to everyone who need cataract surgery!

I am so happy with my decision to have Dr. Devgan operate to remove my cataracts. I am a Kaiser member so Dr. Devgan was outside my insurance but I was very unhappy with the outcome when a Kaiser surgeon operated on my right eye. The surgeon "didn't believe" in toric lenses, despite my astigmatism. As a result, although in a certain sense I could see, after the operation my right eye never saw clearly, even with reading glasses. I was afraid that for the rest of my life I would have unclear vision, and although I could cope (which is what I assume most people do in that situation) I would never be comfortable that I could see.
After being dissatisfied with the result of my right eye surgery, I went to a second surgeon at Kaiser for my left eye, who was going to insert a toric lens. However, I decided against going ahead with him partially because he told me what a great job the prior surgeon had done and partially because he advised me of reasons why my vision would be not be perfect after the operation. However, another (retired) surgeon at Kaiser referred me to Dr. Devgan. I didn't know what to think because Dr. Devgan never made any excuses as to why the outcome would not be good, but at the same time he was honest in telling me that with surgery in general there are no absolute guarantees. As a layperson, I had to give much thought to which surgeon I would select. Ultimately, after a detailed thought process (including details I am not including for purposes of this review), I decided on Dr. Devgan, and it was an excellent decision. Believe it or not I had 20-15 vision in my left eye on the day following the surgery. It really seems too good to be true but that's my personal experience. And, I found out in the process of figuring out the problems with my right eye, that my eyes are too large or deep for conventional measurement of the replacement lenses, so selection of the replacement lens has to be somewhat estimated. However, Dr. Devgan did not bring this up or use it as an excuse and the results are excellent despite this unusual variable in my eye surgery.

I’ve been wanting to have LASIK done for many years. I feel so fortunate to have met Dr. Devgan and have him as my ophthalmologist. He eased all my concerns, spoke to me honestly, and the procedure was quick and seamless. The next day I woke with perfect vision.
As an anesthesiologist, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dr. Devgan. I have seen firsthand his professionalism and dexterity in the operating room. Now as his patient I have a deeper appreciation for his craft and understand why he is the eye doctor for doctors!
Grace Young
Dr. Devgan is an amazing doctor - he took the time to answer all the many questions our family had regarding my mother's cataract procedure, whether it was at his office or through email. (My mom is super important to me and we wanted everything to go right!) Everyone at the center was accommodating and my mom had the lowest possible discomfort after the surgery. An immense thank you to the surgeon and his team!

When looking for a cataract eye surgeon, you need not look any further. Dr. Uday Devgan is unequivocally the best! I am grateful that my friend Lonnie referred him to me. Not only is he brilliant and passionate about performing skillful eye surgery, Dr. Devgan takes pride in what he does and he is compassionate, personable and an exceptional teacher.
I was immediately at ease when Dr. Devgan clearly explained the surgery as it applied to me. Thanks to Dr. Devgan's calm demeanor I was so excited, yet comfortable and relaxed to have cataract surgery. Perhaps the best proof was that my blood pressure was in the mid-range before each of my surgeries. There was nothing to worry about since I knew I was in the best hands.
Dr. Devgan told me that I would have my 40-year old eyes back, and he made good on his promise. I have 20/20 vision again; what an amazing gift! Vision is precious, and I am beyond thrilled that Dr. Devgan is my eye surgeon. On a scale of 1-5, with 5 being best, Dr. Devgan is a 10! Many thanks to Dr. Devgan and his entire team for an incredibly wonderful and life changing experience. I'm already spreading the word to my friends and family.

I got a list of Cataract Surgeons from my insurance company and went to one in Long Beach first which was closer to me. I went in for a consultation and received a diagnosis but wanted a second opinion, so I decided to see if Yelp would have reviews and found Dr Devgan through LA Sight receiving great reviews. I did my research and booked an appointment. The day of my consultation I was greeted with a friendly staff and didn’t wait long to get started. When Dr Devgan came in he immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease with his thorough explanation of what the process will be and he was very accommodating to my schedule to have this done sooner than later. It was a 3 week process for both eyes and I now have 20/20 vision in both eyes. I drive trucks for a living and resolving my Cataracts was a big load of my mind and with Dr Devgan’s help it has given me back what I have slowly been losing...my sight.
Thank you so much Dr Devgan and to your friendly staff.
Bill Bennett
I had Dr. Devgan do the cataract lens replacement surgery on both my eyes, one week apart. The results are remarkable, how clearly I can see now. Being both a Cinematographer and Pilot, my vision is very important to me. Before the surgery, he clearly explained the options available. On the day of the surgery, he and his team are most efficient. The actual procedure is painless, and takes about 10 minutes. They give you a sedative, so you haven't a worry in the world. The recovery is so quick, you can drive yourself back to the followup appointment the following day. I highly recommend Dr. Uday Devgan.

Having been diagnosed with cataract at only 50 years of age, choosing Dr. Devgan for correcting my cataract was the very best decision. He excelled even my high expectations after reading all his outstanding and laudatory reviews, checking out his credentials and visiting a few other cataract specialists. He accommodated me almost immediately and took plenty of time to explain all options during my first office visit and follow-ups and is very pleasant and down to earth with his patients. All his staff was highly professional, supportive and welcoming. Surgery was in a modern state of the art Beverly Hills location with wonderful staff, where he greeted me on my bedside, explained everything and most importantly, completely restored my 20/20 vision in less than 2 hours in total time spent at the facility, even though I had -10 myopia and some astigmatism, without any pain or the need for eye patches, resulting in almost immediate perfect vision and brighter and more vivid colors. I was so happy and had such a pleasant experience that I returned 2 weeks later for my 2nd eye with identical outcome. Dr. Devgan did not stop there and immediately referred me to a retina specialist for additional care and even did a personal email introduction. As a scientist myself, I can see and appreciate perfectionism and you truly want the very best surgeon using the knife on your eyes. If you need cataract surgery, Dr. Devgan is your absolute best choice and you cannot go wrong with one of the most skilled and world leading cataract expert.
Robert Short
I was referred to Dr. Devgan by my optometrist and I cannot thank him enough for that. From my first meeting with Dr. Devgan he was a reassuring confident presence with a joyful outlook on his work. We meticulously went over which lenses to use, the surgery itself and the end results. After the effortless, painless surgery and great results I can say that I've already recommended Dr. Devgan to one friend who is in need of cataract surgery.
Wendy Takahashi
Dr Devgan is simply the best! I was actually very late to my initial appointment, yet Dr Devgan not only still saw me, but he was so gracious. He took the time to fully explain the procedure to remove my cataracts and answered all the emails I subsequently sent. His passion for what he does shows up full force in his skills and professionalism. The surgeries for each eye were a breeze. His staff are also polite, caring, and respectful. Wait times were very short. 5 stars are not enough.
Cynthia Frison
I had the cataract surgery and was treated like the most important patient in the world. His staff made me feel welcome and that I mattered. The doctor is an excellent surgeon and will have you feeling comfortable, well taken of and that your needs are the utmost importance. I can say unequivocally he is an exceptional physician. Please consider his services if the need arises that you need this surgery. You’ll be glad you did.

Dr. Devgan is a gift from the heavens. From the moment I met him, I was sure he is the cataract surgeon for me. In today's environment of being rushed and often a complete lack of personableness, Dr. Devgan and his staff are the exception. I felt comfortable with all immediately. And Dr. Devgan's confidence, directness, and kind demeanor is beyond welcoming and assuring. Also, the fact that he only does patients by referral is extremely important and reassuring. And that he teaches cataract surgery at UCLA's Jules Stein Eye institute is a huge bonus. Each surgery was a very pleasant experience. I was fully prepared and educated and couldn't have been happier with the experience. Please know I can't recommend Dr. Devgan higher!
rosalind cesen
I highly recommend Dr. Uday Devgan! I flew in from Ohio to have Dr. Uday Devgan perform my cataract surgery. Because I was born with unusually small eyes and legally blind, my cataract surgery would be a more difficult procedure, with greater risk of complications. Despite this, I had a great outcome with my cataract surgery with no complications. With the lens implant, I can now see without glasses or contacts, which is like a miracle to me! Dr. Devgan is a very highly skilled surgeon who is gifted in many ways. He is a perfectionist who is focused, dedicated and passionate in his work. And, he is a lovely person who is very down to earth. This doctor took the time to respond to my emails and patiently answered all of my questions in a clear and concise way. The whole process is very organized for the patient. Dr. Devgan's office was really nice, with state of the art equipment. The Surgical Center is top notch. I felt well cared for and knew I was in the best hands for this delicate surgery!
Helen Kasten
I was referred to Dr Devgan by a friend after my less then successful cataract surgery by a different doctor.
Dr Devgan saw me and helped my recovery from my first surgery. I knew as soon as I spoke with him that he would be the Doctor to do my other eye.
He is extremely experienced, talented and has great relationships with his patients.
Dr Devgan performed cataract surgery on my right eye and it is perfect . 20/20!!

I’m really lucky to have met Dr. Devgan and his team.
Six months ago I had a retinal detachment in my left eye, and l’ve got a successful vitrectomy surgery in my country (Chile). However a strong cataract arose after the surgery leaving me almost without vision. My other eye, the right one, is amblyopic since I was a child so the vision is pretty bad. Because of this situation, I spent six months seeing very little, with a poor quality of life and with immense concern for my future. Due to my condition, my cataract operation was going to be complex and for me it was essential to see well with this eye, since otherwise I would have bad vision for the rest of my life.
I traveled from Chile to Los Angeles, United States, to meet with Dr. Devgan, from whom I received the best recommendations.
I contacted him and his immediate responses to my many questions via email showed immense warmth and impressed me.
On Friday, October 25, I met him to do the exams in his medical office where I was very kindly received by him and his assistants. When conversing with him, Dr. Devgan seemed extraordinary. A pleasant human with big knowledge and experience that showed immediately. His more than 20,000 cataract surgeries give him a security that impacted me and made me feel immense tranquility, know that I was in the best possible hands. On Monday, October 28, Dr. Devgan performed me cataract surgery and when I woke up from anesthesia I immediately saw much more than before the operation. On the morning of Tuesday, October 29 (one day after surgery) my vision was excellent. I went to the control and saw all the letters !! Dr. Devgan confirmed me that my vision was better than 20/20.
I really couldn't believe it! I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to have this cataract surgery performed by a world master at his craft, and a great person. I am super thrilled. This gift is priceless!
Thank you very much doctor Devgan!
Mario Levin
I developed a cataract in my right eye and as it worsened, I knew that the only alternative was to have it surgically removed. However, the thought of eye surgery terrified me. A friend recommended that I see Dr. Devgan, so I scheduled a consultation. From the moment I met Dr. Devgan I knew that I had found the surgeon I was looking for. He spent over an hour patiently explaining to me what the cataract removal procedure was about, what I could expect during and after the surgery, what my options were regarding intraocular lenses, etc. He made me feel so at ease, that I actually started looking forward to having the cataract removed as soon as possible. Two weeks later, at the surgery center, he greeted me as if we were lifelong friends, sat with me chatting and putting me at ease, took me into the operating room, and 15 minutes later I was out. Dr Devgan is an amazing eye surgeon. He is warm, friendly and judging from my results, the very best at what he does. Today is two days since I had my surgery, and I am working, driving, reading, etc. And with AMAZING eyesight. One more thing: every member of Dr. Devgan staff is great. The way you are greeted at his office, over the phone, etc., is incredible.
If you are considering cataract surgery, don't look any further. Dr Uday Devgan is the very best.
Dundas I. Flaherty
Essentially perfect — my experience with Dr. Devgan. Diagnosed with vision-dimming cataracts elsewhere, I went to him. He confirmed the diagnosis, previewed the surgery, explained lens choices and results expected. Days later he operated on one eye, and a week later the second. Total time at the surgery center each time was about two hours, and the care was great, especially the nursing, anesthesia, and Dr. Devgan's pre-op briefing. The results were as previewed — a brighter world, good, crisp vision. I couldn't ask for more and recommend Dr, Devgan wholeheartedly.
Lonnie Steinberg
Dr Devgan recently performed cataract surgery on my eyes. The results have been fantastic- I now have 20/20 vision in both eyes! When I learned I needed the surgery, I met with 4 highly recommended surgeons in Los Angeles. I am extremely happy that I chose Dr Devgan to do the surgery and I recommend him unreservedly! Besides being an excellent surgeon, he is truly kind and caring of his patients. He spent a great deal of time with me discussing the surgery and my lOL/laser options. He promptly and personally responded to my emailed questions. I entered the surgeries with little apprehension because I knew my eyes were in the best hands!
Linda Moskowitz
Dr. Devgan came highly recommended by a friend of my daughter who is a retina specialist. All the wonderful things that were said are true. He is a very knowledge and competent provider. Above all he is truly kind and caring person. My surgery went better than I dared hope after a very negative experience with another surgeon 10 years ago. Best result ever. What more could you ask for than 20/20 vision. I wouldn't hesitate to refer him to others.
Michelle Lawrence
First, the summary: Dr. Devgan is terrific and I would absolutely select him again as my cataract surgeon. I am a Medicare-age academic who has always had poor eyesight. Over the past few years, it got significantly worse. I was apprehensive about any kind of ocular surgery but found that if I wanted to continue working and driving, cataract surgery was Step 1. After this decision, I learned there are many kinds of intraocular lenses and thus many choices. Adding to the complication, new lenses are being developed and I had no way of comparing one to the other.
Dr. Devgan was highly recommended by an East Coast cataract specialist who is related to a friend of mine. I arranged an initial meeting and was completely convinced. If you need cataract surgery, I can’t imagine a better experience. His staff are terrific. He has all the diagnostic technology in his office, so you don’t have to make multiple trips to different locations to get the required information. Moreover, I had learned enough by then to know that he and his staff really understand this procedure—all the options as well as what is possible and what is not. After the first visit, Dr. Devgan was always available to answer questions. I had lots of them and as I learned more about cataracts and intraocular lenses I had more. When I sent him emails he always responded within a day and usually within a few hours. By the time of the two surgeries, I felt completely comfortable with my decisions. Both eyes have healed well. I will still need glasses, but I can see better now without them than I could before with them. Thank you Dr. Devgan!

On a scale of 1 to 10, it is a definite 10 for Dr. Uday Devgan.
It all started on the dreaded day when I failed my DMV vision test. Later, a visit to a local ophthalmologist checked and confirmed that I had cataracts in both eyes. What a sinking feeling, that I not only had cataracts but dense brunescent cataracts. I realized I could no longer hold on to my birth given original lenses and I did not want to go blind eventually, if they were left untreated. Having heard from friends how well and easy cataracts surgeries are, I went with a local doctor to remove the cataract in my left eye. What a big mistake! I was in pain. My operated left eye was red and my vision blurry for many weeks. Months have passed and I still have lingering ache in my left eye and other issues.
I asked myself and my husband, "Now what? I have got one more eye to go. I cannot let the mediocre doctor operate on my right eye." I need to find the best doctor. I decided to research further. I Googled and found Dr. Uday Devgan. I read about him and his written articles on Dense Brunescent cataracts. Additionally, I found his videos on YouTube and his interviews online. I knew I had to meet Dr. Devgan and let him fix my right eye. I called to make appointment and his receptionist was polite and friendly.
Appointment day arrived and we walked into his office. Front desk staff greeted us warmly. His office is immaculately clean and they take your temperature and make you wash your hands immediately, due to Covid19. After a technician checked my eyes with a room full of instruments that were out of Star Trek, we met Dr. Devgan. He was professional and friendly. He showed me images of my eyes and explained about my remaining dense cataract and how he would remove it with his specially designed instruments. He also helped me pick the right corrective lens. His knowledge, expertise and vast experience gave me comfort and confidence.
On June 15, my scheduled surgery went extremely well. The surgical center was very clean. The attending anesthesiologist and nurse were very warm and friendly. Of course the talented, good-humored surgeon, Dr. Devgan was right there, by my side, telling me jokes to ease my mind. The operation on my right eye went by like a breeze. There was no pain, swelling or inflammation in my eye. Immediately, after a few hours I could see clearly, beautiful, vivid colors that I have missed and forgotten. The next day, a follow-up visit with Dr. Devgan confirmed I have crystal clear vision of 20/20. Hooray! My right eye vision is really wonderful. The bad thing is, I can see every wrinkle and flaws on my face now (probably need a different kind of dr. now, haha).
I have been bragging to friends and family about Dr. Devgan. His friendly interaction with his patients is first class! Without a doubt, he has a great passion for EYES. I am so grateful that I found Dr. Devgan.
Thank you, Dr. Devgan and your entire staff.
Virginia Lindgren
I thank my optometrist for recommending Dr. Devgan for my cataract surgery. My eyesight had been afflicted by nearsightedness and astigmatism from early childhood. The very efficient examination by Dr. Devgan and his staff supported my optometrist’s recommendation. With some trepidation, I went ahead to have refractive lenses placed in my eyes to correct my vision while eliminating the cataracts. The results have been astounding, and it just brings tears to my eyes to be able to see so well without the glasses that I have worn almost throughout my entire life. Dr. Devgan’s surgical competence is definitely of the first rank, but his personal relations with patients is also extremely admirable. He provided a description of my eye characteristics, described what he would do, and patiently answered all my questions. Engaging with him has been a very pleasant experience, and parting because, as he said, “you have only two eyes,” leaves me somewhat sad.
Austin Woolley
As an ophthalmologist myself, I chose Dr. Uday Devgan to perform my LASIK procedure because he is known in our profession to have the best outcomes and lowest complications. Dr. Devgan is not only known for having gifted surgical hands, but he also trains ophthalmology residents, so he is always on the cutting edge of our field.
My experience with Dr. Devgan and his office was absolutely perfect. Dr. Devgan has a fantastic bedside manner. At my pre-op appointment I met all of his staff who immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease. Dr. Devgan's surgical planning was precise and spot on. Coordinating my appointments with his staff was pleasant and flexible. I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful his staff were, and I only wish I could steal them away to work at my office one day. Any ophthalmologist would be lucky to have them!
On the day of my surgery, my refraction was double checked, I was given a light sedative, and given time to relax in a massage chair in a pre-op room. Once I was ready, I was invited into the OR suite. Dr. Devgan has a very unique setup in his OR suite that allows the surgical bed to pivot between the lasers, allowing for a seamless transition for the patient between the laser for the flap creation and the laser for the ablation. As far as I know, his is the only practice to employ such a method and it is genius!!! After experiencing it myself I am convinced that this should be a standard setup at all LASIK offices. Dr. Devgan and his staff made me feel at ease throughout the procedure, which was over almost before it had begun! For me it felt like it only lasted 2 minutes from the moment I lay down on the bed to the moment I stood back up. There was no pain.
After coming home and taking a nap, my vision was great! I walked to the grocery store that night and marveled at my new visual acuity. I kept waiting to feel dryness or pain, but only every experienced a mild foreign body sensation that disappeared after 24 hrs.
At my follow up appointment the next day I was able to easily read the 20/15 line and even some of the 20/10 line. I felt like I had eagle eyes! Dr. Devgan nailed our target exactly because my new prescription was measured to be plano (0.00 both eyes). Goodbye contacts and glasses! I have been enjoying my stunning vision ever since.
In short, Dr. Devgan is an amazing surgeon, and even his fellow surgeons think so. If you need LASIK or cataract surgery, he is your doctor. His staff is also extremely helpful and friendly and will make you feel comfortable and valued.
Vicki Abelson
I could've had my cataract surgery covered in its entitrety by Medicare and my supplemental insurance. I didn't understand why my friend suggeted I pay out of pocket when I have a very respected opthomologist. She suggested I meet with Dr. Devgan and then decide. Am I grateful I did. My vision with contacts and glasses hasn't been spot on for years. My perscription has been off - better now, or now, never worked for me. When Dr. Devgan and his staff evalutated my vision they did so with top notch technology which elminated guesswork. They knew precisely where I was. That alone would have been enough. Dr. Devgan's innumerable 5 Star reviews and his easy, confident manner did the rest. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Both eyes were done within a week. I have 20/20 vision out of both for the first time in years. There were no complications post op, everything was textbook smooth. Dr. Devgan and his staff are lovely and wonderful to deal with. He even gave me his cell # and encouraged me to text or call with any questions, which I did a couple of times. I use my eyes all day, everyday. Money very well spent. I'm recommending Dr. Devgan to everyone.
Andre LaFlamme
I am fortunate that my ophthalmologist recommended that I consult Doctor Uday Devgan about my cataracts. The exam and discussion with Uday confirmed that it was time for me to get cataract surgery. The whole process was extremely easy to arrange, his staff is very friendly and efficient, and I chose to have my eyes done three weeks apart. The result is amazing: perfect distance vision.
Uday Devgan is passionate about his work and his patients, his expertise is both unquestionable and reassuring, while his enthusiasm is contagious. I am glad I met him, and I am totally satisfied with the entire process.

I am a recent East coast transplant to San Diego, CA with a long history of procedures with my eyes. Most recent being a couple vitrectomies in my right eye to repair a retina tear and a macular hole by Dr. Mark Johnson (another excellent surgeon with The Retina Group of Washington).
Dr. Johnson referred me to a San Diego retina practice for my retina care and advised me due to my eye’s history I will be needing cataract surgery soon after. With several failed attempts at scheduling a visit with a local cataract surgeon, I began researching and doing my own due diligence on cataracts and cataract surgery when I came across Dr. Uday Devgan.
From all the information I learned about Dr. Devgan, his academic history, his contributions back to his LA community by leading the Ophthalmology program at UCLA, OV, his teaching engagements, and all the positive reviews and feedback from his peers and patients, the more confident I know I made the correct decision selecting him as my cataract surgeon. From start to finish, my experience was excellent.
Dr. Devgan's passion for his field transcends every aspect of his work: from the great staff at his private practice and surgical center, to the inviting environment created at both sites, to innovative techniques and tools, and to spending time to share his excitement and knowledge with patients and students. Dr. Devgan is a top notch surgeon and individual. Thank you.
With highest regards,

Carolyn Warren RN, BSN
I've just encountered a medical marvel! This miracle of fully-restored sight happened after what we considered a flawless cataract surgery for my very dense, 2 year old cataracts.
Dr. Devgan is truly one of a kind. He's extremely skilled, compassionate, caring has excellent bedside manners.
My cataracts was the hallmark of one of the worst cataract cases Dr. Devgan has seen. My results after surgery, thanks to Dr. Devgan's innovative surgical techniques was absolutely remarkable.
The gift of sight is truly priceless....
I was simply too anxious to get the cataract surgery done earlier and I truly regret not letting Dr. Devgan operate on my cataracts sooner.
Trust me... As a medical professional myself, you are truly in the best hands when you choose Dr. Uday Devgan, as an expert in Cataract Surgery.
I was extremely comfortable and the procedure was virtually painless. Dr. Devgan orchestrated everything on the day of surgery, with precision (pre op post op). I can't forget the top notch surgical team and very efficient and personable office staff. Karen Mrosko, the surgical coordinator for Dr. Devgan has a warm personality and exudes the utmost in professionalism.
I am a 20+ year RN and this was a wonderful experience... I strongly suggest seeking Dr. Uday Devgan as your cataract surgeon of choice. You will not be disappointed.
Dr. Devgan is a miracle worker who restores the gift of sight... I am truly amazed at the perfect clarity of vision in both eyes. No pain or complications whatsoever after previously having dense cataracts with complete vision loss. I was totally blind but now my vision is unbelievably clear in both eyes. Thank you so much Dr. Devgan for being "best of the best" in Cataract Surgery.
Michael Rowe
Your search is over! Dr. Uday Devgan is nothing less than the best Ophthalmologist for cataract surgery you will find no matter how long or where you look.
My first cataract surgery was performed at the Cleveland Clinic Cole Eye Institute back in 2015. It took weeks for my vision to fully recover in my right eye.
When the cataract in my left eye worsened to the point where it required treatment, I needed a doctor in LA I could trust. After talking with friends, making appointments to evaluate other physicians, researching Ophthalmologists on the web, I found Dr. Devgan.
Uday performed the surgery two weeks after my initial exam at his private practice Devgan Eye Surgery. The results were incredible. In fact, my vision was fully restored in 24 hours because Dr. Devgan utilizes a less invasive technique, which reduces risk and accelerates recovery.
Uday is warm, engaging, and an exceptionally gifted and skilled surgeon. He clearly explains the procedure and made sure I was comfortable with the lens implant we decided to use. He's the best!
Mohan Aswani
Dr Devgan without an iota of doubt is the best cataract surgeon. He took care of my special case with ease. From the moment I met him for evaluation to completing the cataract surgery resulting in 20/20 vision, my experience was very pleasant. I would trust my friends and family to his care no matter from how far they have to travel from. He is simply "THE BEST".
JoAnn Whitaker
I postponed having cataract surgery on my right eye after having a negative experience with cataract surgery on my left eye two years earlier by another surgeon. When I met Dr. Devgan, he immediately allayed my anxiety by his calm manner, professionalism and excellent communication and teaching skills.
Dr. Devgan performed cataract surgery on my right eye yesterday. Everything went well! I was lightly sedated and the procedure was quick and pain free. Today, just 24 hours after surgery, my eye feels great and my vision is steadily improving like expected. I have nothing but praise for Dr. Devgan; I only regret that he did not perform the first surgery on my left eye. I will definitely refer friends and family members in need of cataract surgery to Dr. Devgan.

I can now see the stars in the night sky & read my email without contacts or glasses, thanks to the amazing surgeon, Dr. Devgan!
As a member of a medical family, I knew to carefully search for an excellent cataract surgeon. In addition to being a confident, expert surgeon, Dr. Devgan is warm & friendly, inviting questions & discussing options. This made the actual surgery a comfortable experience. I couldn’t be happier with my excellent results, thanks to Dr. Devgan!

After a lot of research, I selected Dr. Devgan to perform cataract surgery on both of my eyes.
The experience, from pre-op through post-op, was seamless. It has been an excellent experience and one I highly recommend.
Dr. Devgan is very attentive to detail and you can discuss all of your fears and concerns with him. This assists him in selecting the appropriate treatment for your particular situation.
He is a very nice and caring doctor, with a fantastic bedside manner. His enthusiasm, skills and knowledge are superb and far exceeded my expectations.
The surgery went smoothly and was painless. It was so easy and the results were like magic!
It has been over a month since my initial surgery and I am happy to report that my eyesight has been restored and everything is great!
I cannot thank Dr. Devgan enough for restoring my vision and allowing me to be able to see the world again. He is truly a miracle worker.
Susan Lorenzana
I was referred to Dr. Devgan by my ophthalmologist, Stephen Schall, who raved about him. I'd developed cataracts that were starting to interfere with my vision (poor night vision, glare, fuzziness). Dr. Devgan performed a very thorough assessment of my eyes and recommend cataract surgery. I had my right eye done yesterday and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. My vision now is remarkable - 20/20 at my post op this morning - crystal clear and sharp. I can't wait to have my left eye done in two weeks! After a lifetime of wearing glasses and contacts to correct my nearsightedness I'll now only need reading glasses.
Dr. Devgan is a skilled surgeon who is well respected by his peers and who has received numerous awards and accolades. On top of his expertise he has a friendly, outgoing manner and a sincere desire to help his patients see their best. In my case he was able to substantially improve my vision in addition to removing the cataract. His office staff is friendly and efficient and the surgical center is state of the art. The staff at the surgical center was top-notch too - I felt well cared for in my brief (2 hour) time there. Discomfort post surgery very minimal and vision improvement was immediate. Dr. Devgan gets my highest recommendation.
Richard Riveire
Wildly impressed.
In this day of assembly line medicine, Dr. Devgan took the time to explain the procedure, options and benefits of each, what to expect, etc.; all in a very conversational, personal manner. He very quickly responded to emails with answers to questions, extremely responsive. I felt confident in my decisions and unworried. In fact, I came to see this not as a disease, but as an upgrade opportunity.
Results were absolutely as promised, I have crystal clear vision, better than I have had at anytime in my life. Previous comments about staff are right on: friendly, caring, and professional.
Facilities are amazing and Dr. Devgan's experience with technology and techniques is very apparent and clearly at the forefront.
I highly recommend Dr. Devgan.

My previous Opthalmologist had told me I had "Narrow Angle Glaucoma" caused by the shape of my eyeball changing with my far-sightedness, and exacerbated by the thickening of my natural lenses with cataracts. It could constrict the flow of fluid inside the eye, leading to pressure build-up in the eye resulting in nerve damage. He recommended performing a cataract surgery that replaces the thickened natural lens with a much thinner plastic lens. I was given a couple of pages of options in multi-focus lenses and could choose to use the femto second laser for accurate cutting of the eyeball, all with very high prices. like $3200 per eye for lenses and $1700.00 per eye for the laser. I felt I needed some guidance.
I went online I started looking for the best eye surgeons, and found Dr. Devgan had hundreds of great reviews online. Later my wife and I went to visit some close friends The topic of the eye surgery came up and my friend said he had had cataract surgery a couple of years earlier and really liked his surgeon and the whole staff in the office. The surgeon's name? Dr. Devgan.
I went in for the second opinion appointment and was really pleased with the friendliness of the whole staff of the office, which is mentioned in most of the reviews online, and which is indicative of an efficient and happy environment. I had barely completed my paperwork before I was photographed and measured by a technician using six or eight machines and kindly explained what each measurement was for.
I Met with Dr. Devgan in his office. He also is very open and friendly and full of positive energy. In our conversation, he asked me what I wanted as the outcome of the surgery. I said I wanted the clearest, sharpest vision possible and hoped to have at least some flexibility of focus. He then told me that there is a certain amount of refraction in all the current multifocal lenses that can cause halos around lights and issues with driving at night, a problem that another friend of mine has. In the end, I went with his suggestion of single focus lenses for clear distance vision and use of reading glasses for close up focus. That is what I had done at 42 when my close focus vision failed. At age 60 even street signs were out of focus and I wore glasses or contacts full time. I feel comfortable that Dr. Devgan helped me find the best solution for my eyes.
For my first surgery. I went into the surgery Center in the morning, then was taken into the prep area. All of the nurses introduced themselves and explained everything they were doing, the IV, the oxygen sensor, etc. Dr. Devgan came in and said hello and explained all the elements of the surgery and that I might see some bright flashes, but that I wouldn't feel anything. Everyone asked me which eye was being operated on (the right) and they marked an X above my right eyebrow so there could be no mistake.
When I came out of surgery, Dr. Devgan said everything had gone quite well and that the next day I would be able to drive myself to my post-op appointment, The next day the vision in my right eye was as if looking through layers of fine gauze and the contrast turned low. I put a contact lens in my left eye and I had no problem seeing. I was given clear, large print instructions for the three different eye drops including when and how to administer them.
The second eye surgery was completed a week later, no pain, no real discomfort, the vision was a bit slower clearing up, but it is totally satisfactory now
Dr. Devgan told me the new lenses are in place but that the muscle tissue has to shrink around them for some months before some minor visual "flashes" will go away. after a few days I already had very clear distance vision in both eyes.
I feel that Dr. Uday Devgan is a truly great eye surgeon who loves his work and is supported by an excellent staff.

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Devgan! He removed cataracts from both eyes (2 weeks apart). I now have 20/20 sight in both eyes without glasses for the first time since I was 13, 60 years ago! Not only is he a great eye surgeon, he is a caring and compassionate individual. He makes himself available at all times and will do whatever it takes to make sure everything is right. His office is pleasant and efficient. I never had to wait more than 10 minutes any time I went to the office. His techs are outstanding and very professional. Everyone in the office makes you feel very comfortable and welcome. Dr. Devgan also removed cataracts from my wife's eyes with equally outstanding success. Based on a recommendation from our ophthalmologist on the east coast, we travelled on hour and a half to visit Dr. Devgan from Santa Clarita and it was well worth the trip.
Mark Weddington
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. DEVGAN!
With that out of the way, here’s why:
When I needed cataract surgery on both of my eyes, my new ophthalmologist recommended a surgeon I soon found had... committed assault on one of his own employees! Yikes.
Naturally, I looked for another surgeon, preferably within my Blue Shield network.
Luckily, Blue Shield users had rated Dr. Devgan highly so I went to him.
And I’m glad I did.
From start to finish, Devgan and his staff were friendly and professional. They kept me informed of all the surgery and pre/post-op details, as well as the pricing and what and would not be covered by my insurance. They even provided free samples of necessary but extremely expensive eyedrops not covered by my insurance.
Both surgeries went quickly and smoothly, and I suffered no ill-effects afterward. My post-op vision was EXACTLY as Dr. Devgan had indicated to me beforehand, and my vision is now better than it’s ever been in my life.
And in addition to just being a jovial & friendly guy, Dr. Devgan builds his own stereo equipment, and is a distant cousin to Bollywood star Ajay Devgan. I rest my case. :)

Dr. Devgan removed my cataract and replaced it with a man-made toric lens that compensated for the astigmatism in my cornea. I had the surgery the day before yesterday and my vision is shockingly good. I had very high expectations and the results far exceed my expectations.
At my first visit, Dr. Devgan spent a lot of time explaining exactly what was going to happen and how the astigmatism was in my biological lens and in my cornea. I asked a lot of questions (I'm an engineer) and he cheerfully answered all of them. He spent plenty of time with me and I never felt rushed at all. He also gave me guidance on what focal length to choose for my new lens.
I was able to get an appointment for the surgery very quickly (about 2 weeks after my consultation). He greeted me before the surgery and talked to me afterward to explain how well it went.
Dr. Devgan truly enjoys his work, enjoys people, loves giving them the gift of instantly improved vision. Even though he's done tens of thousands of these surgeries, I still felt special. I wouldn't hesitate at all to recommend him to my own family.

My eyes are considered very high risk for cataracts surgery due to my extreme near-sightedness (-18 on both eyes). My niece, in Palo Alto, California, is an ophthalmologist who specializes in cataract & cornea surgeries, recommended Dr. Devgan to me and said he is one of the very best in Los Angeles.
I visited Dr. Devgan and he put me at ease right a way. He clearly and calmly explained the complicated conditions of my eyes, and the limited options available to me. Then he suggested the most suitable solution for me. He referred me to see a retina specialist to get my retinas ready for his surgery. The retina specialist confirmed the readiness of my retina for surgery; then he told me that Dr. Devgan the best, he also entrusted his own mother’s cataract surgery to Dr. Devgan. As soon as Dr. Devgan received the retina clearance report, he scheduled the surgery on my right eye within a week.
In the Surgical Center, the attending nurse also told me that I don’t have to worry about anything because Dr. Devgan is the best of over 50 surgeons in the entire center. My procedure was video taped and during my post-op visit the next day, Dr. Devgan sent the video file to my niece after their telephone conference about my surgery. My niece, after viewing the video, sent me a one-word message: “Amazing!”
Dr. Devgan took care my left eye a week later. My vision, which is still going through the adjustment period, already exceeded the vision targets originally planned. Dr. Devgan is truly “The Best!”

I was referred to Dr. Devgan by a dear friend of mine. I had a previous cataract surgery done, five years ago, in Boston area and developed double vision while reading.
I live in San Francisco bay area but decided to fly to Las Angeles to have my surgery.
Needless to say, that I was a bit anxious. Dr. Devgan is a true professional, and this is huge complement from a medical professional like myself! He examined me, and explained to me about the cataract surgery and reassured me. He recommended first generation of lens, covered fully by Medicare. Amazingly he did not push a highly expensive lens, more lucrative to surgeon.
The surgery went without any glitch.
I have perfect distant vision in the eye he operated and most importantly he corrected my double vision during reading.
Now I do not need distant vision glasses and most importantly can read without double vision.
Thank you Dr. Devgan, you are truly the best!

The BEST experience I have ever had with a medical professional. Not only is Dr. Devgan an amazing doctor but his staff is incredibly professional, personable and informative. From my first visit to his office, to my last check up, I was overwhelmingly impressed. I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Devgan. I had two consultations prior to deciding on Dr Devgan and I’m so glad I did. From my first meeting with Dr Devgan, I felt I was in great hands and knew he was the doctor for me. If you need cataract surgery, this is the doctor to go to. I cannot recommend him enough!!!
Lee Lignos
Dr. Devgan is a superstar. Extremely knowledgeable and genuinely interested in helping you achieve better vision. Dr. Devgan came referred to me as he specializes in more complex cataract cases and sure enough he did an excellent job with my cataract procedure which came out flawless. I am very appreciative for his help and him to anyone.
E Sato
Dr. Devgan is an enthusiastic, passionate, kind, caring, and down to earth doctor who takes his craft and well being of his patients to the nth degree. He clearly explains all options and is realistic about outcomes. I had cataracts removed in both eyes, Restor implants, and had 20/20 distant & computer vision the next day with no pain. He is truly remarkable, a godsend to those needing vision correction - highly recommended & Super Doctor ranked and reviewed by his peers.
Katty Choy
Dr. Devgan performed a cataract IOL replacement surgery on my right eye 2 years ago, and he had my highest praise on his surgical skills and professionalism. My right eye still sees as clearly as it did two years ago with absolutely no issue at all. When my left eye is up I will definitely go back to Dr. Devgan for surgery. But this review is about something else.
In the last two years, there were two occasions that I have concerns about my eye sight ( nothing related to the cataract procedure) and I emailed Dr. Devgan for advice. In both times Dr. Devgan answered my email personally within half an hour and provided referral to a retina specialist, who also contacted me personally the same day and have his secretary made an appointment with me the following day for check ups. At the last visit the retina specialist find two small holes in my retina and immediately repair it before any damage can occur. I am extremely pleased with Dr. Devgan's referral and couldn't imagine what will happen if I have to make an appointment myself and have to wait months to be seen.
My advice is don't fool around when it comes to your eye sight and get a consultation with Dr. Devgan.
Bernard Hsu
Highly recommend Dr Devgan and his team. My procedure went flawlessly. Dr Devgan always made himself available for questions. Top notch facilities.

I first consulted with Dr. Devgan in 2010 when he carried out cataract surgery on both eyes (separately) with premium multi-focus lens implants into each eye.
Dr. Devgan is very caring and quite charming, he really made me feel at ease and confident for the surgery and from my perspective (as the patient) the procedure was amazingly simple, very quick and pain free. The result has been wonderful and as Dr. Devgan promised, I have been able to see everything clearly !
To this day (October 2018) I haven’t experienced any problems with my eyesight and I have never had to wear eye-glasses. I whole heartedly recommend Dr. Devgan to anyone needing cataract surgery, I absolutely trust Dr. Devgan.
Recently, I needed to see a specialist for a blocked tear duct that has been the cause of chronic infection on and off for three years. I’ve consulted with several eye specialists but each informed me they would have to carry out surgery.
I contacted Dr. Devgan and asked for his help, asking if he could recommend a specialist that could address my problem without directly resorting to surgery. The next day Dr. Devgan sent me the name of Dr. David Samimi in Santa Monica.
I visited with Dr. Samimi, and he, too, is very attentive and caring. Dr. Samimi told me he would carry out a procedure and assured me that there would be no cutting. Dr. Samimi’s gentle manner and approach to my problem made me feel very confident. Dr. Samimi carried out the procedure and I am very happy with the result.
Both of these eye specialists are very special, talented human beings and I whole heartedly recommend each of them for their respective specialty expertise.
Susan Taigman
Dr. Devgan is an exceptional cataract physician, truly an artist at his trade, a unique individual who takes pride in all things that he does related to cataracts.
I had cataracts for a number of years and knew at some point that I would need surgery. When the time came to have cataract surgery, I went to Dr. Devgan. At the office exam, there were comprehensive eye evaluation tests. All I had to do was sit in front of various machines to get the results. Thereafter, Dr. Devgan checked my eyes and took pictures of my cataracts which was fascinating to see, reviewed the results, explained the issues and answered all my questions. I scheduled the surgery and was provided with detailed pre-op and post-op instructions.
The cataract surgery was at a surgery center in Beverly Hills. Dr. Devgan spoke to me before the surgery which was reassuring. At the start of the procedure Dr. Devgan asked me if I saw the light, which was above me, and I said yes. The next thing I knew the surgery was over. It was incredible how smoothly it went. That same evening, I saw clearly out of my eye. That was great! The next day, I drove myself to the post-op appointment. Dr. Devgan again took a picture of my eye. I saw how clear my eye looked post-op when compared to the cloudy picture with the cataract that was taken of my eye before the surgery. The result post-op was quite remarkable.
Dr. Devgan is an expert and extraordinarily knowledgeable when it comes to cataract surgery. He cares about his patients and has many years of experience. I highly recommend Dr. Devgan for anyone who needs cataract surgery.
Jon Othar
Dr. Uday Devgan is an outstanding cataract surgeon. Not only did he remove thick and troublesome cataracts from both my eyes but his procedures were so flawless, painless and carried out with such passion and affection that I was in awe. After a lifetime of myopia I now enjoy 20-20 vision on both eyes ! I also have to praise his staff & coworkers in West LA & Beverly Hills surgical center who were equally outstanding, incredibly supportive and friendly. Not once during this short and painless operation did I ever feel uneasy or scared. The anesthesiologist even held my hand during the entire procedure!
Brian Beatt
Dr Devgan is amazing...quick and clear during the pre-op process, has a very professional staff, no time is wasted, and you head to your procedure calmly and full of confidence. I had cataract surgery in both eyes (two weeks apart), and I am amazed to be 20/20 in both eyes. The procedure was quick and pain-free, and I have no hesitation recommending him as the First Choice for this op.
Wonchon Lin
Dr. Devgan without a doubt and unequivocally is the best cataract refractive surgeon. I would trust my own family and friends to his care. How do I know he is such an amazing and ethical surgeon? He has trained me and countless other residents at Jules Stein Eye Institute, UCLA, who have all gone on to become great surgeons themselves. He has seen every imaginable cataract, surgical scenario, etc, thus giving him an unparalleled experience and expertise. I owe my career and success to his clinical and surgical mentorship.
Anisa Londhe
Dr. Devgan is an extremely knowledgeable, professional and highly competent eye surgeon. At the initial consultation, Dr. Devgan explained the process of cataract surgery thoroughly, and went through a detailed discussion regarding the best lens and power for my eyes. I am very satisfied with the results, and I am deeply appreciative of Dr. Devgan being available via email and text to address any questions and concerns I had before and after surgery. Dr. Devgan always spoke with care and confidence. I was also very impressed with his very attentive and first rate office staff! Without a doubt, I very highly recommend Dr. Devgan!
Nancy Schapiro
I came to Dr. Devgan via referral after a less-than-optimal cataract surgery outcome. Dr. Devgan was patient and reassuring, telling me that I would regain clarity of vision. He corrected my vision beyond my expectations. I feel blessed to have found him.
Zahava Rubanowitz
I had cataract surgery performed by Dr Uday Devgan. It was painless, seamless, as smooth as silk! Dr. Devgan is a Doctor Who is an expert at what he does while loving the art of surgery! From the moment I met with him to determine the surgery to the post op visit, the experience was wholesome , informative and absolutely delightful! I now see 20/20 from my operated eye and I couldn't be more grateful!
Donald Manelli
Dr. Devgan performed cataract surgery on both my eyes, several weeks apart. I knew by his reputation and the recommendations of other ophthalmologists that he is a leading surgeon in this field and has innovated many of the procedures in use today. My research showed me that medically, he was clearly my best choice. But once I came to his office, what impressed me most was how patient-centered his practice is - from his exceptional professional staff to the leading edge diagnostic equipment they use to evaluate and measure your eyes pre-op. He took the time to clearly communicate, answer all of my questions, make sure that I understood every option available, the best choices for me personally and why. He even provided his cell phone number in case I had any questions. It made the entire process easier than I had imagined. And the results are even more than I had hoped for - my “new” vision is exceptional.
Tom Lamal
I lost my right eye in a skiing accident in 1964. I am a pilot and I am very protective of my one eye. I started having difficulty with night driving and I was having problems reading signs at normal distances. I asked my ophthalmologist about my problem and I was informed that this issue was due to cataracts and surgery would be a good option. This is not good news for someone with one eye. I told my ophthalmologist that I wanted to go the person who he would have remove cataracts from his eyes. This is when I first heard of Dr. Uday Devgan.
I contacted Dr. Devgan’s office, which was the start of great experience. Dr. Devgan’s staff is very professional and extremely organized which immediately put me at ease. Having this procedure was not an easy endeavor for me because I live in Alaska, so traveling to Los Angles was both expensive and time consuming but it was well worth the effort!! Dr. Devgan explained the procedure in great detail and alleviated any anxiety. My procedure was a week ago today and I am back flying and my vision is better than 20/20. I didn’t realize how much I was missing and now I am enjoying very sharp eyesight with vivid color. I feel extremely blessed to get my youthful eyesight back and to have had the good fortune of being referred to Dr. Devgan.
Stephen Kuntz
I couldn't be more pleased with the result of my recent cataract surgery. Dr. Devgan spent plenty of time with me at my pre-op consultation and patiently answered all of my questions (even the foolish ones). He told me exactly what to expect regarding the surgery and the recovery. My results exceeded his description (i.e. the surgery was a breeze, I could see GREAT 24 hours post surgery & my eye has felt fine and normal since day two). On top of everything else, Dr. Devgan's office staff is excellent as is the staff at the surgical center where the procedure was performed. Dr. Devgan came highly recommended by a doctor friend of mine and I'm confident that there's nobody else who could've done a better job! Thanks.
curtet patrick
Really impressed by the work and the process. I had a racket ball in my right eye 30 years ago and then a very nasty cataract had develop since. I was always afraid to go to surgery, specialy because I'm a professional photographer. To a point on recommandation from doctors I met MD Uday Devgan. He convince me to proceed, and I can only say good things. Good support quick surgery, 20 minutes and great recovery. All good the first day and even better the second day. I've been able to work on my computer the same day. So So five stars is not enough.
yexiu huang
I was referred to Dr. Devgan by a successful ophthalmologist in Canada. Dr. Devgan gave a talk in Canada and our ophthalmologist friend was very impressed by him. My experience of seeing Dr. Devgan was wonderful. He was kind, patient and very good at what he did. He took time to explain details of my cataract surgery, took time to answer our emails when we had questions. My right eye which had the surgery done recovered quickly and I did not experience pain afterwards. I am now enjoying my improved vision. Thank you, Dr. Devgan.
Johnny Navon
I was welcomed with friendly staff. The practice is great, the service that he provides is incredible and above all, is the patient experience like nothing else.
Doctor Uday Devgan is a surgeon with Strong Work Ethic, that dedicates 100% of himself to what he does with professionalism, knowledge and confidence . When I meet for the first time I knew deep in my hearth that he was the one to do my surgery. Is easy going, funny, very knowledgeable and with unbelievable credentials. If I had to do it again I will choose Doctor Devgan again and again. My sight is 20/20 and can not believe how crisp everything looks. My feeling is unbelievable and thank Doctor Devgan 1000 times.
Ahuva Braverman
This is the first time I am writing an online review of any kind.
I decided to make an exception in this case.
Dr Devgan’s surgery abilities as demonstrated by my fantastic vision now following a cataract surgery are evident.
What places him far apart in my mind from any physician - of any kind- that I have ever met was his bedside manners.
Unpretentious, warm, and available when you need him.
I emailed him Sunday evening to let him know a grain of sand seemed to enter my eye following the cataract surgery. Not exactly an emergency but I wrote to him anyway. He responded in a few minutes with a practical advice and reassurance.
Knowing I had him available if needed in the sometimes anxiety provoking process of cataract surgery land made it... enjoyable!

Dr. Devgan changed my life!
At 45 years of age, night driving became very difficult for me, I assumed I needed a new prescription for my glasses. To my dismay it was cataracts. The thought of having cataract surgery at my age was scary. After consulting with Dr. Devgan he assured me that while slightly uncommon for a person of my age, this surgery was not rare and on top of removing the cataracts, he would correct my severe nearsightedness as well as my astigmatism. As someone who has worn glasses all my life this sounded just right! His demeanor was calm and reassuring. After my consultation with him, I couldn't wait for surgery!
As the day of surgery arrived, I have to admit, I was a little nervous. That being said, everyone from the nurses, the anesthesiologist, and of course Dr. Devgan were true professionals and made me more than comfortable. More importantly, Dr. Devgan did not over promise! He is a true artist. The next day, I was out of glasses, and ready for driving.
Now I can watch Netflix without glasses, I can rest on my side while watching and not be worried about squishing my glasses or having them jab me in the face. The best part is being able to drive safely at night again. I'm back to taxiing my kids around to dance lessons, soccer practice, etc...
I give the absolute highest recommendation to Dr. Devgan - thank you so much for my new and much improved vision!
Melinda Littlejohn
Dr. Devgan did a perfect job on my cataract surgery! I am an artist from Taos, New Mexico and researched at great length the best possible cataract surgeon. I was fortunate to find Dr. Devgan. Not only is he personable and informative- I believe he treats each patient with singular care. I highly recommend him.
Girish Balakrishnan
This was one of the best experiences I have ever had with a doctor. I recently received Lasik from Dr. Devgan, recommended by a friend of mine. Not only was the entire office staff so kind, but quite accommodating every step of the process. Surgery can be scary to many, but not with the team at Dr. Devgan's office. From the moment you walk into reception, you are welcomed with so much positivity that it takes the nerves out of an otherwise life-changing surgery. I see better than ever before and had no problems in the month after the operation. I'd highly recommend this team for all your eye surgery needs!
Chris Sakuma
I am so glad that I decided to go to Dr. Devgan for cataract surgery.
During the post op examination, I watched the video of my surgery and he explained that it turned out to be a very difficult case as the tissue that supports the lenses was very weak (probably damaged due to the past accident) and a true expert was needed.
I was amazed how he performed this challenging surgery. He is truly a master!
And, the type of lenses he suggested is a right choice and power calculation/adjustment were spot on. I now have good distance/mid-range and practical cellphone vision without noticeable night vision issues.
I am so happy and 100 % satisfied with the results. Thank you Dr. Devgan!
B Martinez
Dr. Uday Devgan just completed my mother's cataract surgery in both of her eyes and she is extremely happy with the results. She was also very happy with the entire process from initial testing to surgery and then to post op evaluation and recovery. My mom stated Dr. Devgan was very nice and explained everything throughout the the entire process. She said she would recommend Dr. Devgan to anyone needing cataract surgery.
Elena Irving
It's hard to describe how happy I am with the cataract surgery performed by Uday Devgan, MD, FACS, FRCS. My far vision is now 20-20 and my near vision is 20-20. I can read the newspaper and restaurant menus without glasses, as well as small print in an installation and instruction manual. The surgery was fast and painless. Dr. Devgan's office staff is gracious and most helpful, prompt and courteous with calls or questions. Most important for me, Dr. Devgan is open to all patients on his private phone and email, and his response is usually immediate. Dr. Devgan is an amazing talent in his careful discussions before surgery, to discover what is desired by the patient in the outcome, and then able to fulfill the request. I'll always be grateful to have been one of Dr. Devgan's patients.
Elliot Green
Dr Devgan is the BEST !! I am a practicing dentist and researched and "interviewed" several other well known Opthamologists before deciding on Dr. Devgan. We just completed a very successful cataract/premium IOL surgery on both eyes...with excellent results (20/20 vision)!!
In addition to his excellent surgical skills(Dr. Devgan is an artist), he also has a very pleasant bedside manner, is calm and reassuring and took the time to patiently answer my many questions with precise clear answers. His staff was also helpful and positive(a reflection of him). Overall, it has been a very positive experience.....Thank you Uday !!
Dick Lochte
Nearly a year ago, Dr. Devgan performed cataract surgery on my right eye. Nothing speaks better for my total satisfaction with the results or my confidence in Dr. Devgan than the fact that a week ago I turned to him again for a similar procedure on my left eye. As before, everything went perfectly, from the precisely-on-time, smoothly-performed initial tests using what seemed to me like state-of-the-art technology by the doctor’s professional team, to his precise explanations of every step of the surgery, to the excellent, comforting care I received pre-op, to the amazing, literally eye-opening results.
Satish Sharma
I am a 65 Years old man. I had refractive surgery performed in conjunction with my cataract surgery by Dr. Uday Devgan in both eyes this year in January. Before the surgery I had blurry vision in both eyes. I had difficulty driving in the night time, but after the surgery I can drive in the night time with no problem. It has made a big difference in my life.
Not only is Dr. Devgan the best at what he does, but he is passionate about his work. I had the most pleasant experience and would recommend him to all my family members and friends.
Brittany Parra
Dr. Devgan performed my lasik a few weeks ago and the results are outstanding! The procedure was quick and he was excellent at directing me and making sure I felt comfortable. Dr. Devgan, his clinic, and staff are all incredible. The experience from start to finish was professional, streamlined, and efficient. I now have perfect vision after very minimal healing time. I could not recommend him more highly!!
Jan Love
Dr. Devgan performed my cataract surgeries October and November 2018. Dr. Devgan is an excellent physician and highly skilled surgeon. Not only am I very fortunate to be a patient of Dr Devgan’s, I’m also fortunate to work with him at Los Angeles County Olive View Medical Center where he trains the next generation of surgeons. Dr. Devgan is highly respected by his colleagues not only for his skills as a surgeon, but also for his kindness and caring nature.

A long but important review. PLEASE READ: Words cannot begin to express our gratitude for Dr. Devgan's kindness and skills. My husband has been through a horrendous 5 months having an infection of the inner lining of his heart. It came on very suddenly and we were told he could die. Fortunately, he didn't! But after a month in ICU (followed by a total of another two months in ICU and post critical care) he had complication after complication. With his heart infection he also ended up with terrible vision issues-everything was horribly blurry. A visit to a retina specialist said that for some reason my husband developed terrible cataracts in both eyes. One eye was 20/400 (pretty much blind). Needing a cataract surgeon, Dr. Devgan came highly recommended by two very trusted sources (an optometrist and a retina specialist). A couple of surgeons were recommended by our optometrist who knows my husband very well after 25 years of care, said he thought that my husband would most appreciate Dr. Devgan's bedside manner. And was he right! Dr. Devgan is not just a cataract surgeon. He is a kind, caring, compassionate and brilliant man. Very special. Most doctors these days seem in a hurry. Not Dr. Devgan. He's calm, takes his time to explain exactly what is going on and what to expect from the surgery. At the surgery center Dr. Devgan came over and spent an extraordinary amount of time comforting us. He's just such a warn, authentic person. We went to the 2nd follow up appointment yesterday and Dr. Devgan was genuinely excited with the my husband's improvement. He showed the genuine excitement of little kid - just really excited with the improvement in my husband's vision. One eye is now 20/40 and will likely be 20/20. Incredible. It's still too soon for an accurate read on the eye just fixed this week but we have every reason to be optimistic. He gave my husband reading glasses and for the first time since September my husband could read!!! I was beside myself. It was so emotional. Tonight watching TV I was reading captions to my husband and he said "that's okay, I can read it." I was beyond ecstatic.
Dr.Devgan is an amazing cataract surgeon. AMAZING. Seeing my husband's before and after cataract pictures are truly remarkable. His new lenses are sparkling clear. Dr. Devgan is a great surgeon, but that's not where it ends. He is a man who truly loves what he does and cares deeply for his patients. Knowing what my husband has been though, Dr. Devgan went the extra mile to show such kindness and sincere care.
I can give Dr. Devgan the highest recommendation: I'm going to have him fix my cataract! I can give no higher recommendation. He's a special man and an incredible surgeon. The office staff is also top notch. Little wait time and lots of attention. If you need a cataract fixed don't hesitate to go to Dr. Devgan. He is a special man. Recommendation without hesitation or reservation!!! Just the best!

I CAN SEE!!! My experience was nothing short of amazing. The staff treated both me and my husband extremely well. They took care of us from step one to the end. My vision hasn't been the same in over 40 years and now I'm so grateful for coming here. Both me and my husband had both of our eyes done and both are really pleased with the results. I would recommend anyone even out of state to come here and have the work done. They were even able to improve my right eye, which was weak almost my whole life, to 80% better. My vision is now at almost 20/20. Thank you to Dr. Uday Devgan for your professionalism and dedication to your job. One can SEE the great work you did so much so that I don't even need glasses anymore.

Dr. Devgan is the best! After cataract surgery my vision has been restored to perfect 20/20. Was reading and working on computer the day after surgery without using my "readers" for the first time in over 10 years-fantastic! I found Dr. Devgan to be very thorough and informative in conducting his examination and assessment of my particular cataract condition ,which included having LASIK some 20 years ago, and recommendation for cataract surgery. He talked me through the entire procedure, which was very re-assuring , and showed why he's considered an expert in this field. He is very passionate about his work and has excellent "bedside" manners. The pre-op, procedure itself and post-op were all virtually painless and went smoothly.

Dr. Devgan is wonderful -- very friendly, professional, and great at explaining the process of cataract surgery from start to finish. My vision (post-vitrectomy) went from extremely blurry to 20/20 after he performed the very simple, painless procedure. His friendly staff walked me through all the costs and insurance issues so that there were no surprises.

I am a geriatric nurse practitioner. Based on my personal experience and professional knowledge, Dr. Devgan is the best in his field. He is highly skilled and takes the time to answer all questions in a relaxed and professional manner. He has a first rate office staff. I had cataract surgery yesterday and had an excellent outcome.
Kris Terry
I was fortunate to be referred to Dr. Devgan by a friend for Cataract surgery. He is the most professional, skilled, and passionate doctor I could have asked for. He took his time prior to the procedure to answer all my questions and assuage any fears. He uses state of the art equipment to measure and study the eye and made me feel confident. During and after the procedure Dr. Devgan was attentative and within a day I had 20:20 vision with no post op issues. Dr. Devgan is a leader and pioneer in this field and the best cataract surgeon period!
Matthew Diamond
Dr. Devgan is not only a brilliant surgeon but he has a great, warm, welcoming personality. Additionally, his staff is delightful and makes you feel like an old friend. Most important, he catapulted my vision from constantly squinting and struggling to better than 20/20.
bissonette gregg
Dr. Uday Devgan is the best of the best. He was recommended to me by my well respected optometrist and great friend Tony Sardonia. Tony told me that Uday was the best in the biz and he was right!
I just had cataract surgery and replaced my old lenses with amazing multi focal lenses and I cannot begin to express how overjoyed I am with my new amazing vision! I did not feel one bit of pain and Dr. Devgan was absolutely amazing. "SEE " you soon!!!

I have been aware from some time that I should have cataract surgery in both eyes, but continued to put it off for quite some time – it is a daunting decision to let someone operate on your eyes, and the market is flooded by medical professionals touting their expertise, affordability, speed of procedure, and patient satisfaction.
So much to wade through, but I realized my cataracts were starting to impact my quality of life – primarily not being able to drive at night, or identify details of objects on the other side of the room. Accordingly, I started my research. Because of high ratings almost everywhere, Dr. Uday Devgan’s practice was one of the first I called. Although I investigated 4-5 other practices as options, my first strong impression of Dr. Devgan was one of a high level of professional competency (one that was born out through the entire process) and this led me to a quick decision to have him perform these two procedures.
This is turning out to be one of the best medical decisions I have made. As of this writing, I have had the right eye done and am having the left eye done in a few days. Beyond the amazing success of the procedure – within 24 hours the vision of my right eye had exceeded my expectations and continues to improve – the overall experience deserves a very, very high rating and recommendation.
And, it was all made so very easy – very light sedation, zero pain (not even any discomfort), done in a professional, efficient, modern outpatient facility (also owned by Dr. Devgan and his partners). Half-hour of talking to the nurses and getting ready (with the procedure done in my own cloths), into the operating room, 10 minutes of prep and discussion with Dr. Devgan and the anesthesiologist, 5 minutes of procedure – all done. Amazing!
Dr. Devgan has an obvious passion for the work he does that carries over into all aspects of his practice. ALL members of his staff that I encountered were exceptionally professional, helpful, and competent, can answer questions quickly, and solve problems efficiently. His website is top notch and full of the information you need - all easily accessed. Dr. Devgan’s interactions before, during and after the surgery are above and beyond what you might expect from even another good surgeon – he reaches out to his patients personally to ensure satisfaction has been achieved and is available on an ongoing basis to answer questions, volunteer information, and provide educational materials for those who want an advanced understanding establishes that not only does he love what he does, but that he is truly a master of his craft.
If you are in need of this procedure, I give the highest recommendation to Dr. Uday Devgan. My only regret is that I waited so long to have it done!
Randy Kahn
I am extremely careful and conscientious regarding my eyes. Dr. Devgan's associate operated on my right eye a few months ago, and Dr. Devgan did the same procedure on my left eye yesterday. Everything about the experience was flawless, and I could not be more satisfied. The staff from start to finish is exceptional, and the procedure itself quick and painless.
I am am art dealer and my eyes are my livelihood, I can't afford to fool around. I have already recommended Dr. Devgan to a close friend of mine who is scared to go.....but needs it. It was so fast and painless, I don't even remember it exactly. Today, my vision is like when I was a kid.
Fantastic!

I went to see Dr. Devgan for cataract surgery at about the same time my best friend was consulting another well known eye doctor for the same surgery. From my first consultation with Dr. Devgan and my subsequent surgeries on both eyes (I did my right eye first followed by my left a few months later), I can safely say that he is the best in the business, and I am extremely happy that I made the decision to go with him. I can definitely see the difference regarding my experience with both of my surgeries from that of my friend's. Both of my surgeries were set up with an exact day and time weeks in advance, with no snags even on surgery days and follow-up visits. In fact, Dr. Devgan even accommodated me at an early time before his office even opened for business (on more than one occasion) to help me avoid traffic congestion for my follow-up office visits after the surgeries. My experience with Dr. Devgan has been so positive that I am sad that I won't be seeing as much of him for follow-ups. Apart from being a superb surgeon, Dr. Devgan displayed such a friendly & down to earth disposition from my first visit throughout the surgeries and eventual follow-ups. He was very patient and answered all my questions with detail and clarity. I wish all my other doctors were like him. His office staff is just as friendly, and his office team is extremely organized & helpful - a truly first class and well run operation. There were also no snags/problems with setting up appointments, billing and contacting them (or the doctor) for any additional information. Needless to say, I will be recommending my relatives and friends who need similar services/surgeries to Dr. Devgan. I cannot thank him enough for such a smooth and painless experience. He simply is the best in the business.

I highly recommend Dr. Devgan for cataract removal and refractive correction. His office staff is efficient and friendly, the surgical center was exceptional, and Dr. Devgan himself is everything one could ask for in a doctor: highly competent, informative, and truly interested in the well being of his patients. I appreciated that my appointment times were honored, no delays, and Dr. Devgan was available to answer any questions both before, during and after the surgery. When I need the second eye corrected, I will definitely have Dr Devgan do the procedure.

After a lifetime of wearing eyeglasses/ contacts, I had LASIK done with Dr. Devgan and I now have 20/20 perfect vision! In every category, Dr. Devgan is spectacular— he is passionate, warm, and clearly an expert in his field. In each visit to his office, Dr. Devgan and his staff were helpful and professional, and the entire process was incredibly easy. The actual procedure was quick and painless, and the recovery was unbelievably quick. I am overjoyed at the outcome and could not be more grateful for my improved vision.

I am very nearsighted. When I was diagnosed with cataract, my ophthalmologist at that time did not suggest any treatment. I got a second opinion from a surgeon and was told for me there was no hope! I asked around a lot, got a referral from my sister who lives in France to a French professor of ophthalmology who had treated similar cases. He referred me to Dr. Devgan. Dr. Devgan utilized state of the art equipment and latest surgery technique to cure me. Dr. Devgan is not only at the top of his specialty and possesses exceptional bedside manner, he is also a compassionate human being.

Decades ago I had RK done on one eye. The other eye had both RK and Lasik. I live in the Phoenix area and my cataracts had gotten progressively bad to the point where I could no longer drive at night. I saw a well known eye center in Phoenix and was told that they could operate but could not use a lens that would improve my eyesight and eliminate my need for glasses.
I researched on the web thinking that there had to be someone addressing the need for cataract surgery on RK and Lasik patients. I found Dr. Devgan via The Cataract Coach website. I decided to go ahead and travel to Beverly Hills and at least get a consult.
The office has state of the art equipment and they took all sorts of measurements which Dr. Devgan used in his evaluation of my case. He assured me that he could improve my left eye significantly and improve my right eye but not as much as the left eye. He showed me why on some of the images of my right eye. Apparently the RK incisions had not been done as cleanly as the ones on my left eye.
I decided to go ahead with the surgery thinking that any improvement was worth the travel and the cost of the toric lenses. My left eye was improved enough that it compensated for the weaker right eye. I had the left eye done on 1/4 and the right eye a week later on 1/11. I am typing this and can also read my phone without glasses. Dr. Devgan said my eyesight will settle down within a few weeks. I actually don't think I'll need glasses as I can see pretty well already.
Dr. Devgan and all the people at LA Sight were very helpful and very professional. I would recommend getting cataract surgery with Dr. Devgan, you will not be sorry. You'll be in good hands!

Thanks to Doctor Devgan; I have excellent vision after cataract surgery. I now have 20/20 vision, especially since I started out with such bad vision. He was able to do everything in one easy surgery (ICL removal, cataract removal, new lens, fix myopia, and address astigmatism). Based on my personal experience he is the best in his profession.
Previously, I had the same surgery done by Doctor Paul Lee at CCRS on my left eye and it turned out horrible. Be sure you do your research before selecting any doctor.
Doctor Devgan has many surgeries video on YouTube, so check it out.
Matt Herman
Recently had cataract surgery performed by Dr. Devgan. Could not be happier. Dr. Devgan has a great bedside manner. From the very first visit he explains everything in easy to understand terms. I'm very happy with the results...clearer vision (20-20) and more vivid colors. I can recommend Dr. Devgan without qualification.
Allan Blackman
My cataracts had reached the point where my quality of life had deteriorated greatly. I am 74 and tennis is my passion. I increasingly noticed that I was not seeing clearly on the court as well as when I drove my car. For the last 25 years or so, I have worn progressive glasses for distance. (not needed for reading).
Blessedly, my family doctor told me she knew the best surgeon in California and recommended Dr Devgen. I called his office for a consultation and was immediately impressed by the courtesy of Danielle, who patiently went over the basics of what types of surgery are available. Not only could I have my cataracts removed, but I could also opt for a lens that would correct my nearsightedness, albeit for an additional out of pocket cost.
A week later my wife and I met Dr D. To say we were blown away by his lovely demeanor and obvious expertise would be an understatement. Two weeks later, he operated on my left eye and two weeks thereafter on my right eye. Every aspect of of the procedure; the Surgical Center he uses, his follow up exams the day after each surgery, the continued kindness and competence of his staff, from David who tested my eyes at the consultation and again at the post-op appointment, to Sepi and Dianna at the front desk, as well as Karen, who handles the financial and appointment aspects of the practice. All were wonderful!
I am now seeing 20-20 without glasses. Colors are brighter and images are sharper.
All due to the BEST cataract surgeon one could ever hope to find.
Uday Devgan!
Euchul Kim
I've never written a review for anything before but I really wanted to give a shout out to Dr. Devgan here. All the reviews you're reading here are spot on. I'd say if you're even thinking about Lasik surgery, go in for a consultation. I'm certain you will have the same wonderful experience that I have had.
More specifically, I've worn glasses as long as I can remember. Having two very different eyes with severe (off the charts) astigmatism in my right eye, I've always been told that I wasn't even a good candidate for contact lenses, at best a hard contact lens. More recently with the option to try a soft contact lens, I tried contacts for the first time and was disappointed at how cumbersome they were. It just made me want to go back to glasses; and I did.
After an enthusiastic referral from someone who had the same surgery from Dr. Devgan, I went in for a consultation. The entire process was clearly explained and in a manner that makes you feel so comfortable as a patient. As other reviewers have pointed out, you can tell Dr. Devgan absolutely loves his job; his enthusiasm is palpable and infectious. Most importantly, he has the world class skill and experience to back it up.
The facility is top notch and the staff professional and efficient. The surgery was very fast (maybe 7 minutes tops?), completely painless and with not much to worry about. In fact, I was right back to work the next morning! Amazing.
If you thought you'd have to be an eyeglass lifer like me, do yourself a favor and go get a consultation. My only regret is that I didn't look into it sooner.
Joe Robinson
I was having trouble seeing well at night. Headlights had a big halo around them. Even in the daytime, it was tough reading streets signs until I was right on them. I got a new pair of glasses and that didn't help. That's when I went to Dr. Devgan to find out about cataract surgery. He explained everything in enthusiastic detail, ran a battery of instruments to get the precise metrics for the procedure, and I felt very confident in his hands. You could tell he loves what he does. The surgery was quick, painless, and unbelievably successful. I now know how bad my eyesight had gotten. The crystal clear clarity of my vision now is amazing! Night driving is as easy as day now. You can't go wrong with Dr. Devgan.
Ozborne Williams
Dr. Devgan and the whole team at LA Sight are amazing. I had a detached retina in the right eye and over the years a cataract had slowly started to form. I knew having cataract/lens surgery could be an option, but I wasn't convinced after talking to my former ophthalmologist. After some research I ended up setting up a consultation with Dr. Devgan and he explained to me everything is such detail, I was just like sign me up! He made me feel so comfortable and confident about the surgery. He explained the great benefits of having the surgery and the low risk factors very clearly and not sugar coating anything. Dr. Devgan keeps it real 100%! I've worn glasses since the the first grade and contacts since I was 16yrs old. I'm 47 now and it's incredible to wake up in the morning and actually be able roll over and see my wife's beautiful smile and look at my alarm clock and actually see what time it is. It's the little things in life. =) Having the cataract surgery was the best decision I ever made and Dr. Devgan is the best. Truly making my way of life even better! Truly AMAZING! If your thinking about it, don't wait. Book your consultation with Dr. Devgan today! Thanks Dr. D! I can see!! I can see!!

No one is more patient, knowledgeable and understanding than Dr. Devgan. He did my cataract surgery recently and I must admit that beforehand, I required a lot of handholding because I had had a couple of bad experiences with another doctor. I was able to communicate my concerns and fears and receive immediate responses to every one of them. He was always calm, reassuring, and positive, with a great sense of humor to boot! I told him what I expected from the surgery and he gave me exactly what I wanted. I can still read without glasses and see far distances too, so I am very happy with the results. On top of that, I never had to wait long to be seen by him in his office and his staff is very efficient and friendly. He is the best!
Elizabeth LaBarbera
Dr. Devgan took exceptional care of my 85 yr.old mother. She was nervous to have eye surgery, but he explained everything thoroughly. Surgery was quick and she is so happy with the results. She can now see the TV!!! On the way home she was like a kid noticing everything for the first time. A big thank you to Dr. Devgan and his team. I highly recommend him.

I had the distinct privilege and great fortune of having my left eye’s cataract operated by Dr. Devgan in July 2018. But before choosing him as my eye surgeon , I did an extensive research ( to be exact, of 5 years duration ) with the goal of finding the best possible expert, for the surgery on my very complex eye problem.
Finally, I came to the conclusion that Dr. Devgan would be the “BEST CATARACT SURGEON” to perform this difficult operation on my left eye ( because of some other associated problems in my particular situation; which made it a very challenging case as whole.)
So, I made the appointment to see him . By the way, where I live in the U.S., is almost thousand miles from the city of Los Angeles, but I was ready and determined to have the operation done anywhere in the United States or at any other place in the world for that matter, if I had to, as long as it was going to be done by the most outstanding expert in this field.
I am pleased to report that Dr. Devgan did an absolutely beautiful job!, which is only befitting of a master! ( considering the fact that my case was very challenging, which I already knew it, myself, as a physician). And on the day of operation, I had the full confidence and peace of mind, knowing that I was going to be in the most capable hands that there was.
Now I can see from that eye with almost a perfect vision without the use of a contact lens and with my glasses only! Dr. Devgan is truly an outstanding ophtalmologist(eye doctor) ; he is the “ Gold Standard “ of the profession and simply put : “HE IS THE BEST!”
It is also important to note that Dr. Devgan does not shy away from difficult cases, and to the contrary he welcomes them!
The other admirable thing about him is that Dr. Devgan treats his patients as if they were one of his family members, and that in and of itself, is absolutely PRICELESS .
In conclusion, obviously, every patient will be a different and a unique case , and one undergoing any surgery or treatment must always have a realistic expectation/s.
Sincerely,
Alireza Izadara, M.D.

Dr. Devgan is wonderful! My initial intake appointment with him was very informative. He also took all the time I needed; it didn’t feel at all like he was rushing in or out. His explanation was very clear. And his personality was very warm. It is obvious that he enjoys his work. I will be returning for the other eye when necessary.

Yesterday was time for my cataract surgery, and this morning I watched the video of my surgery. Dr Devgan executed a perfect removal. I can't imagine a safer choice of doctor..
Susan Traynor
Dr. Uday Devgan and the staff: Reception, technical, financial, surgery: Any way you look at these guys, they are five stars each! I found myself needing a second opinion and Dr. Devgan provided expertise and reassurance I needed to proceed with lens replacements due to cataracts. The surgery is quick, painless and life changing! The entire process at LA Sight and Specialty Surgery Center went without a hitch and I have remarkably excellent vision!! Thanks you guys!!
Gary Rubenstein
Five Stars in not Enough!
I have nothing but rave reviews for Dr. Uday Devgan, Karen Mrosko, the other team members at L.A. Sight as well as the Specialty Surgical Center in Beverly Hills. All first rate!
Now two years after the surgery on my right eye Dr. Devgan performed surgery on my left eye. In addition to being a fantastic person and great surgeon he was able to perform surgery that allows my left eye to see distance and my right eye for reading. Totally free of contacts and the wonders of the brain figure it all out - Dr. Devgan worked the magic. I highly recommend him.
Bottomline - wonderful people, wonderful experience. Surgery one day clear vision the next!
Phil Fisherman
Dr. Devgan is fantastic...he is trustworthy, professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with and most important he truly has your best interests in mind. With his wealth of knowledge as a practicing Professor at UCLA combined with his years of hands on experience at his clinic, why would you entrust your precious eye surgery with just “any” eye surgeon?
Dr. Devgan is quick to respond with detailed answers to any of your questions no matter how simple or complex and you can always count on getting the best advice. One example of the type of care you will receive; Dr. Devgan was out of the country vacationing in between one of my cataract eye surgeries when I had a few upcoming surgery related questions pop-up. I forwarded the questions to his personal email account not expecting to hear back till his return from vacation but low and behold he promptly responded back that same evening & even included several links to studies related to the topic I had brought up on alternative lens including success rates for treatment of astigmatism and presbyopia.
OK… What surgeon is going to respond back to a non-emergency while they are on vacation in another country? This gentleman is dedicated and loves his craft!
Their facility is top rate with the latest equipment including an efficient and skilled staff that values your time & won’t keep you sitting in the waiting area all day.
In summary if you want the best solution for your cataract and or Lasik surgery, I highly recommend you consult with and then choose Dr. Devgan as your surgeon!
You won’t regret it!
PJ
p.s. Btw, I can now see 20/20 in both eyes for the 1st time since??? All I can say is WOW!
Shiva Pirouz
I was referred to Dr. Devgan for lasik evaluation and surgery. I had been suffering with my contact lenses. The contacts would not stay in my eyes for the love of god so i had to keep changing them couple times a day. One day while driving on the freeway, my left contact fell out & I had to drive home with one eye open & one eye closed! My eyes were dry & I hated wearing eye glasses. The glasses would give me the worse tension headache & overall i was just not a happy camper. I started looking into my options. Went to a few ophthalmologist. Even went to UCLA & had to wait a few hours just to be seen for an evaluation. Then it took them over a week to call me & give me fees & go over possible surgery schedules!!! I was so shocked by their treatment.
When i went to Dr. Devgan’s office i was pleasantly surprised by the VIP treatment his whole staff & himself gave me. He immediately put me as ease. He is so caring & companionate and has a great sense of humor.I immediately connected with him. His staff took some measurements of my cornea, then he did a exam. He explained to me how the procedure works, what to expect & all the pros & cons. He has the lasik machine in his office so that makes it so convenient. I did the pre-opt & the surgery just one week after. Right before the procedure, they took the measurements again. Gave me Valium & I was in heaven. Throughout the procedure, i was so relaxed & happy. That day when i went home, i rested, didn’t look at any monitors, didn’t text & didn’t watch TV. The very next day i woke up & i could see!!!! My dream had come true, to wake up & to be able to see was a priceless gift. I was so happy, i even drove myself to his office for my day-1 Post op & it was perfectly fine. My vision, the very next day was 20/15 which is better than 20/20!
I couldn’t thank him enough.
I went to see him again yesterday for my 1 month Post op check. And everything is perfect. He insisted to see me himself & took some measurements & looked at my eyes with his light & lenses. He is so amazing. Truly how a physician should be. His staff are always very polite, professional & friendly.
Prices are very reasonable too. $3000/eye for the Lasik surgery.
I love going to his office & i highly recommend this doctor to everyone. He also does cataract surgery too. In fact he did cataract surgery on my father in law which by the way was very complicated due to the anatomy of his eye. The results were pristine. My father in law couldn’t believe how good he could see just minutes after the surgery. We all love Dr. Devgan. He is the best :)
J. Juan Macias
After having a poor experience with a doctor that performed cxataract surgery on my father some years back, I knew I had to find a great doctor to operate on my father's other eye. I did a Yelp keyword search on “cataract surgery” and found over 40 positive reviews for Dr. Devgan focusing on cataract surgery alone. I now knew I had found the doctor I was looking for to perform my father's cataract surgery. My father and I were not disappointed! In fact, Dr. Devgan exceeded our expectations, not just in performing an excellent surgery, but also sharing his incredibly pleasant and jovial attention and care during my father’s examination, surgery and follow-up appointment. Dr. Devgan clearly loves what he does and is renowned in the cataract field. He provides early morning appointments (e.g., 7:00 am) and explains everything in so much detail. I unreservedly recommend Dr. Devgan for cataract surgery. He is a class act and really cares about his patients. His passion for his work truly benefits his patients and families. Thank you Dr. Devgan!

Dr. Devgan is an amazing doctor and a wonderful person! His positive attitude and knowledge/ experience in his field gave me great confidence to face cataract surgeries. If I could give him more than 5 stars, I would!
Janice Tanaka
Having gone through a horrible experience with cataract removal on my right eye, I waited until it seemed I was staring through a mattress before even considering cataract surgery on my left eye.
Although a trusted retinal specialist re: my right eye, referred me to Dr. Devgan I still made my first appointment with with great trepidation.
However, meeting Dr Devgan, I encountered a warm, confident and friendly person who surprised me when he understood my question regarding the focal length of lenses used for cataract replacement.
WOW what a sense of relief, an ophthalmologist who knows lenses and understands focal distance, as a filmmaker does. I'm a filmmaker, and his shared knowledge enabled me to make a collaborative, informed decision. Which resulted in using the left eye for close up reading, computer etc. work, and keeping the right eye for distance vision.
Just prior to surgery I was extremely nervous and Dr Devgan was patient and comforting, I could hear his voice as I drifted off into the netherworld. After surgery, again Wow, I could see clearly my brain switching quite naturally right for close up, left for distance.
Dr. Devgan is an amazing doctor and human being who gave me back clear eye sight unencumbered with glasses or giant blur, resulting in prolonging my career, and improving my quality of life. Certainly worth more then just five stars.
Al. C
I am extremely pleased with my cataract surgery performed by Dr. Devgan. During pre-op, Dr. Devgan literally spent hours explaining everything to me and answered all my questions. The operation is a breeze and most importantly, it is so clean that there is absolutely no issues whatsoever. No blurriness, no floaters, no redness, no eye patches needed, nothing. My eye fully recovered on the next day and can see things clearly with great clarity and sharpness. It is now more than a month and I couldn't be happier. Dr. Devgan has my highest recommendation.
Ted Thomas
After 12 years of great vision in my left eye after Dr. Devgan performed cataract surgery, I found it necessary to have Dr. Devgan do cataract surgery on my right eye. The surgery went great and I'm expecting the same long term results.
Pat Kandel
When I saw Dr. Devgan I knew immediately he was the right doctor to do my cataract surgery. I fully intended to visit several doctors before making my decision but Dr. Devgan had such a calm manner answered all of my questions and made me so comfortable that I knew he was the one. I now have 20/20 vision & couldn't be happier. l am sitting at my computer with no glasses on. this is great....
Grayson Marshall
Dr. Devgan came highly recommended for cataract surgery and now I know why. He has developed this to an art form. I saw the video of my own surgery, and things were done with an incredible level of precision. There was remarkable dexterity without a single wasted move. He teaches this procedure at UCLA, and he has also invented and patented several tools used in eye surgery.
In addition he is unpretentious and honest (with absolutely no upsell) and will take time to explain everything. The staff and technicians are great and make you feel welcome.
I had a cataract that was accelerated as a side effect from retina detachment surgery which was done at Jules Stein Eye Institute. I have been fortunate enough to know some of the best surgeons there. When other world class surgeons gave an endorsement for Dr. Devgan without hesitation, that’s all I needed to hear.
Pat Healy
I went to Dr. Devgan on the recommendation of a colleague. From the first appointment, I felt very comfortable. Both his staff and Dr. Devgan, took time and addressed all of my concerns and explained the process.
The experience at the Surgery Center was very similar, again my experience was personal and very caring. I am very happy with the results and would highly recommend Dr. Devgan and his staff should you be contemplating cataract surgery in your future.
Marcia Luce
If I could give 6 stars, I would! I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Devgan! I just had the 2nd of 2 cataract surgeries with him yesterday. After not really being able to see out of eye #1 for at least 3 or 4 years, it's amazing to be able to use it again & see clearly! Eye #1 ended up being a difficult case and I'm so glad that Dr. Devgan was able to deftly correct it. Besides being an extremely proficient surgeon, he's an amazingly nice guy! I was given his email & cell phone # and texted him quite a few times with my neurotic concerns. He answered immediately every single time! And during office visits, as well, he took his time and answered all my questions, explaining everything to me. I don't feel I could have been in any better hands. Cataract surgery was such a scary concept for me and he did all he could to make it go as smoothly as possible.
Lauder R.
You only get 1 pair of eyes, so it makes sense to be thorough in your search for the Dr. that you feel comfortable working on them. I met with 6 doctors in Los Angeles. Dr. Devgan was without a doubt the most patient, understanding and accommodating Ophthalmologist. Not to mention, his practice and staff were extremely professional, polite and well versed in all aspects of the procedure.
Zero regrets, 100% satisfied, outstanding results.
I hope this saves the next person some time.

I had a very negative experience when another doctor operated my left eye's cataract four years ago. I was basically afraid of ever having the right eye operated on. But, Dr. Devgan proved that miracles can happen! My vision after the morning operation was perfect that evening. I am so grateful to Dr. Devgan.

After being diagnosed with rare type of "posterior polar congenital cataracts" by a local ophthalmologist in 2014 and told I would be "high risk" for surgery, I started researching everything I could find on this type of cataract. I found a lot of information and everything I read said there was a high risk with this type of surgery, but when I found the articles written by Dr. Uday Devgan and Clinical Professor at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at the UCLA School of Medicine, I knew he would be the doctor that I would trust to perform my surgery. Dr. Devgan confirmed that I had the rare "posterior polar congenital cataracts" in both eyes as well as cataracts in front of the eyes. He let me know that the risk is close to one in three of having the capsular break and that usually ends up with very poor vision. Because I had read of his expertise in performing these types of surgeries, I trusted that he would be using the best technique and I would have the greatest results. I viewed a similar surgery video of this same type of cataract performed by Dr. Devgan prior to my surgery and later was provided a link to my own surgery video. Well, I did choose the GREATEST doctor. He performed removal of my cataracts and performed lens implant surgeries (one toric, one non-toric, diamond lens) a month apart and both surgeries were not only successful, at 70 years old, I NO LONGER NEED EYE GLASSES, with the exception of occasional need for +1.00 reading glasses. I made two trips from Indianapolis, Indiana to Beverly Hills, California and will always feel so lucky to find the greatest eye surgeon. It was obvious to me that he loves his work and people.
Besides finding the greatest doctor, his staff is so nice and helpful. I saw Keith more than others and I think he is outstanding.
Dr. Devgan, thank you for my awesome eyesight.

I recently had the LASIK procedure done from Dr. Devgan, and I could not have asked for a more perfect experience. Having worn glasses since the 4th grade and having suffered from high astigmatism my entire life, I am still marveling at the fact that I now have 20/20 vision. Dr. Devgan and his entire staff were absolutely professional, responsive, and unbelievably warm and supportive throughout the whole process, from the minute I walked in for my consultation to the minute I walked out with a brand new lifestyle. This has been a life-changing experience for me, and I hope my review can help anyone who is considering getting LASIK done--don't wait! Hands down, Dr. Devgan is the one you want to entrust with your vision!!

I went from wearing trifocals full time to 20/10 vision with no need to wear glasses...not for reading, computer, driving or watching tv. Thanks to Dr. Devgan who is not only at the top of his field but an incredibly warm, kind, lovely human being who will give you his email and cell phone number. And respond! What doctor does this? I had cataract surgery which was brief, painless and I was seeing well by the next day. I chose the pan optic lens which corrects near, mid and distance vision. The only trade off is some small halos around lights when driving at night but for me, a working writer who spends a massive amount of time reading and on the computer, the trade off was worth it. I’ve had friends go to Dr. Devgan who chose perfect distance vision in exchange for having to wear reading glasses. It’s up to you and Dr. Devgan will make sure it’s all explained to you and help you choose what’s right for you. For me, as I sit here typing this on my iPad, no glasses required, I couldn’t be happier. I wish every Dr. was like Dr. Devgan.

If there would have been a Galaxy, as benchmark, over the five stars I would have rated Doctor Devgan as such. I still could not believe the outcome of the operation. I am the one who had -15 for all almost all my life i.e. for 38 years. Though I got Lasik procedure done in India fifteen years ago still after few year my eyesight deteriorated back to -15 and to make it more worse 4 years ago I got cataract in both eyes. I was on the verge of losing my driving privileges and that is when I lost my all hopes that I ever be able to see the world like a normal human being. For my right eye, I opted to get operated at one of the renowned eye hospital in India but was not successful. With cataract and hope left to my one eye only I couldn’t take any chances. I did my research over the internet and came across Dr. Uday Devgan’s name and reviews. Everyone ( including high profile people) spoke/written so highly about him that I decided to fly coast to coast to go see him. Not to mention that I live in Miami, Florida. I became pretty confident and got fully assured that I definitely should get operated by him. I flew back again for the second time with my wife and got operated by him. I am so very ecstatic and delighted to announce that all my dues got paid back to me in full. I can see absolutely clear and precise from my eyes. I don’t’ even remember when was the last time that I was able to get such clean and clear vision. It was nothing short of a miracle for me who has struggle all his life for a clear eyesight, even with the best lenses. I am living very happily now.
Dr. Devgan give ample time to his all the patient and make sure that he answer their questions and clear up even the slightest of doubt one can have. I have not met such a humble, soft spoken and down to earth Eye Surgeon in my entire life. You can trust him with your eyes. I feel extremely lucky that I was able to connect to Dr. Devgan.
Once again, I am very thankful to you Dr. Devgan for giving me a second life.
Warm regards,
nancy turner
Dr. Devgan is the BEST! I am so thankful for not having to wear glasses or contract lenses ever again. This is the best Christmas present ever. Based on my experience, my sister and a good fried are both going to consult with 'Dr. Devgan. He is truly talented and humble...a rare combination. Thanks again doctor.

Dr. Devgan is spectacular! Not only did he spend extraordinary amount of time assessing the cataract problems and explaining all my options, he was kind, considerate, and delivered two spectacular bionic eyes. I will be forever grateful and can not stop singing his praises. Thank you is just simply not enough!
MC MC
UNBELIEVABLE!!! Seriously, My vision was BAD. Cataracts in both eyes, astigmatism. Terrrible! A simple office visit for consultation, the staff is great, setting of an appointment a week later (you need three days of different eye drops) in at 7A out before 9A! The surgery itself is 10 minutes! Dr Devgan explains the whole process, he makes you feel so comfortable. My eyesight was somewhere about 20-200, now I’m seeing the world in HD! Best thing I’ve ever done!!!
Ed Spielman
“If the Gift of Sight is a miracle, complete restoration of it is, perhaps, more so. And in this regard, my dear friend, Dr. Uday Devgan is the ‘World Standard’. I call Dr. Devgan “my friend” because he is that to every patient. In terms of care, diagnostics and results, the only word that seems appropriate to his work is… ‘miraculous’. No overstatement. He is the consummate professional whose work exceeds expectations.
Dr. Devgan just restored the sight in my left eye with a multi-focal lense replacement (having done the right eye in 2008). Paperwork aside, the painless procedure took less than 15 minutes. The next day I was once again driving with the eyesight of a teenager… 20\20 with no glasses and no ‘issues’. There are many disappointments and inconveniences in life; how joyful to have something so vital be accomplished with such a result.
Dr. Devgan is ‘The Jonas Salk of Eyes’… and as good as it gets. Without exception, this opinion is reflected in the laurels expressed by my family and friends who have also been the recipients of his genius...”

Well, this is one of those experiences that I will never forget.
Dr. Devgan and his staff are the best I have ever experienced in the medical profession. Dr. Devgan is advanced so far beyond his competition that there is literally no reason to even start at any other medical facility for cataract surgery. I now see perfectly and could not be more excited with the outstanding result.
Thank you Dr. Devgan for your very high standards and passion for excellence!

As a former medical student of Dr. Uday Devgan at UCLA, I can say firsthand that he is THE BEST cataract eye surgeon, PERIOD. I went on to become an ophthalmologist, and I've had other ophthalmology friends that also say they would have Dr. Devgan operate on their family members without hesitation. So, when it came time for my favorite aunt to have her cataract surgery, I immediately referred her to Dr. Devgan. She had reached a point where she could no longer drive safely either day or night and could barely cook at home. She had waited so long for surgery because she had a "complicated eye" and was very anxious about having surgery. She was extremely nearsighted and had thin, retinas that would make her prone to developing retinal tears. Dr. Devgan was so warm and kind to her during their first preoperative meeting, explaining everything to her in a calm, clear manner. He also took the time to call and email me (and he is very busy!) immediately after her visit to fill me in on the exam findings and plan and reassure me that she would be well taken care of. Due to her retinal condition, he recommended a referral with a retina specialist close to her home as a precautionary measure prior to surgery. When she called, they told her there was no opening with the retina specialist for at least several weeks, and my aunt was very discouraged. But Dr. Devgan emailed the retina specialist and my aunt was able to see him that Saturday! He really goes above and beyond for his patients. The surgery itself was very successful, and as expected, my aunt was a challenging case due to her large eye and extreme myopia. The surgery itself took FIVE minutes, unbelievable! Dr. Devgan sent me the video so I could review it, and it was just perfection - he is a truly a master of his craft. My aunt was so pleased with the results, she booked her second eye a week later (also a success!). My aunt is lucky that she lives near Los Angeles, but I would recommend other family members fly into Los Angeles to have their cataract surgery with Dr. Devgan, he is the best!
Pam Friedman
Dr. Devgan is simply the best there is! He performed cataract removal on both eyes and with his superior skills, my eyesight has improved to near perfection. Everything about Dr. Devgan and his staff are exceptional.
Judy Fleisher
I feel so fortunate that I was given Dr. Devgan's name to interview for my cataract surgery. What a positive experience in every way! I was treated with kindness, consideration, thoroughness and humor. Everyone in the office was professional and caring and seemed to feel honored to work for Dr. Devgan. From the moment we met, I knew I had found the right doctor. He is an amazing doctor, with outstanding credentials, and I highly recommend him to one and all. He answered all my questions completely, gave me plenty of time to discuss my questions, worries and concerns and even gave me his email to use as I wished. I did, in fact, email him over the weekend and he quickly answered. At the surgery center everything ran timely and easily, and again, I am so pleased at the result. My A plus recommendation for this wonderful and highly experienced doctor. Don't hesitate to use him!! I am a big fan, and while I interviewed several other very good doctors, Dr. Devgan is the best!
Jane Abrams
Dr. Devgan was professional and comforting in all aspects of the procedure. He was easy to contact either by cell phone or email. My surgeries went very well and I am so pleased with the results. I have already recommended Dr. Devgan to many friends and will continue to do so! He is the best as is his well trained staff!!
Denis Shepherd
Dr. Devgan is the best. I am so glad I decided to go through with it. My vision is amazing and the surgery was so quick and easy. My eyes were ready to go the next day, with no setbacks. Life changing.
Murugesa Thangavel
Dr Devgan operated on both my eyes.
My vision is great and I than Dr Devgan for the superb vision I have now.
Dr Devgan is always available postoperatively for any of my concerns.
I thank Dr Devgan for the great care that I received
Eva Kehr
My experience with Dr. Uday Devgan was absolutely fabulous! Not only is he an extraordinary and noteworthy surgeon, he also has a jovial and humanistic approach to his work! I could not have asked for a better doctor to remove my cataracts! E.T. Kehr
Nina Cochrane
I had cataract surgery on my left eye yesterday morning by Dr. Devgan. I will be having surgery on my right eye as soon as possible. Perfect experience by a perfect Doctor. I did not even need my glasses for driving today for my post-op & I am seeing better than I have for years.
BRAVO!!
Ian Jardine
I was referred to Dr. Devgan regarding a constantly sore eye caused by a cataract surgery that "went wrong". After listening carefully to me, both by phone (he called!) and in his clinic, his examination was then reassuringly thorough, and his explanation of what he saw was clear, as was his carefully weighed decision that further surgery would not be advisable at this time.
The fact that he understood why the eye was hurting was information I had not clearly received before, and as everyone well knows, is always a great start in learning to live with such problems.
In addition, he confirmed that the morning redness and inflammation, and perhaps some of the soreness, was doubtless a side-effect from the anti-glaucoma medication Latanoprost, which other opthamologists had suggested, but your confidence and clarity in this assessment, and the underlying chemical/biological reasoning, was more understandable and convincing (I'm a PhD Scientist).
Importantly, he recommended that I try a very recently approved drop (Inveltys) and graciously provided a sample of emulsion drops to try to decrease the soreness and inflammation.
The great news is that this treatment has worked very well! My eye does not hurt very much anymore and the inflammation/redness is much reduced.
This problem has seriously and negatively affected the quality of my daily life, and I am extremely grateful to Dr. Devgan for his excellent and considered care and advice.
Again, Dr. Devgan, I (and my wife Gail) thank you, and your excellent staff, so very much for your superb care and treatment. I am so very glad to have visited with you, and now know where to go in future if other difficult eye problems arise!
Joanne Forchas
Dr. Devgan is top in this field. I trust him immensely and am very happy with the results. I was practically blind in my left eye and now have 20/20 vision. I will go back to him in the future when it is time to do my right eye.
Really 100 percent satisfied with the process from beginning to end.
Thanks Dr. Devgan!!!
Jo Lewis
My name is Bob Lewis and I am the Chairman of one of the largest law firms in the United States. When I first learned that I needed cataract surgery, I contacted Dr. Devgan. We all know how important our eyesight is to us, and I was apprehensive about the surgery. After talking to the doctor, I felt very comfortable and elected to have the surgery performed by him. He explained the procedure in layman’s terms and made me feel very confident that he was the right doctor for the surgery. I must tell everyone reading this that the results were tremendous. The doctor was so comforting and gave me a great deal of confidence that everything would be OK. Now that the surgery is over I can tell everyone not only was it successful but my vision has increased to a level that I never anticipated. If anyone has to have the surgery, there is no better doctor I could recommend.

I was 37 years old and discovered that I had an early cataract. I was surprised and wanted to understand more about the issue. I visited several eye specialists/ophthalmologists in Vancouver, BC. I am Canadian and thus am eligible for free basic lens cataract surgeries. Well, you get what you pay for.
Not one of the doctors in Vancouver took the time to explain the cataract, nor were they overly interested in dealing with it. I could barely see when driving and was a hazard on the road, yet the doctors were in no hurry to complete the procedure. Further the doctors in Vancouver were more impatient/annoyed as they didn’t feel it was necessary to answer any questions.
I was referred to Dr. Devgan by a friend of mine who resides in Anaheim. I spoke to Dr. Devgan (I couldn’t believe you could speak to a doctor directly), then read several reviews. I decided to go with him and he went out of his way to meet me on a Sunday as he knew I was flying in from Canada. Uday went through the number of causes of cataract and explained how the corrective lenses work in a way that made sense.
He repaired both eyes, and I am extremely happy. He was also the only doctor that noticed I was myopic and it was necessary I go to a retina specialist. Again, no Canadian eye doctor told me this, I would have had no idea. When I went to the retina specialist he already noticed thinning of my retina in different areas and was able to repair it.
My parents got their eyes done in Vancouver, both had issues, with lenses being reversed, improper sight and had to go through surgery a few times.
For me, I did not want to take a chance with my eyes. Thanks Dr. Devgan, I appreciate everything.
sophia chock
I am very satisfied with the result of my cataract surgery , Dr. Uday Devgan. He has a great depth of knowledge and experience in dealing with cataracts. I liked his spending a lot of time explaining cataract to me. I am glad that I found him on the web. He is excellent!
kaylyn kramer
I had a wonderful experience with both my cataract surgeries. Dr. Devgan and his staff were on schedule and detailed through out the whole process. ( I should have had this done sooner!) Now I really enjoy TV with no glasses on.
Eileen Sever
My experience with Dr. Devgan has been so positive that I almost wish for a third eye so that I could go back for another round of treatment. Great office, beautifully run. Great doctor—everything painless and even pleasant. No snags with billing and no frustrations. Altogether to be recommended.
Satsuki Shibuya
After searching and calling several cataract surgeons for my mother, I was referred to Dr. Devgan by a neighbor who spoke very highly of him.
Upon entering the office, my mother who was quite nervous about the procedure, felt immediately at ease through the care of Keith, one of the doctor's eye assistants. After the initial check-ups, we waited briefly in one of the examination rooms only to hear cheerful laughter coming from another room.
Right when Dr. Devgan entered our room, his smile lit up my mother's face and I could tell immediately that she was feeling comforted by his presence. At the first consultation, he thoroughly examined her eyes, explained in detail what was happening, what to expect during the surgery and answered all her questions.
The day of surgery, he came to check on her several times and due to her needing translation (English is not her native language), allowed me to be by her side the entire time.
From start to finish, the experience was world-class and my mother ended up giving him a nickname: Angel.
Thank you, Dr. Devgan and Keith for making this experience as enjoyable as possible for my mother. She continues to rave about the both of you to all her friends!
John Karubian
i cannot overstate how pleased i am with dr. devgan, his staff, and the results of his care.
i had lost my distance and night vision due to cataracts.
he took a lot of time personally explaining my options and the results i could expect. i wish that all the medical professionals i encounter would spend as much time and effort as he does - very freely and on a personal level.
the results are as he promised, and i would most happily and enthusiastically recommend him to anyone considering cataract surgery.
Keith Simmons
The procedure was amazing. It not only removed the cloudy catarac lens but it also corrected the myopia. It restored my vision to 20/15 !!!
Dr. Devgan is very accomplished as well as an inspiring person. After speaking with him you will realize he is dedicated and driven to advancing the field.
ralph schneider
Doctor Devgan is an excellent surgeon and a friendly and compassionate professional. What really sets him apart is his eagerness to answer, in detail, everything you want to know about treatment. In addition, he has somehow been able to respond to my email questions within minutes.
lisa wright
Genuinely pleased with every aspect of Dr. Devgan’s cataract procedure. From the moment I stepped into the office all the way through the procedure and evaluations, I was impressed with my surgery and the staff. I recommend Dr.Devgan to anyone who is looking into cataract surgery!
masaru rao
Dr. Devgan is an extremely skilled surgeon who, importantly, also takes the time to thoroughly and patiently explain his diagnosis and his treatment recommendations; a rare combination these days. His staff are also courteous, helpful, and efficient, and his facilities are state-of-the-art. My original diagnosis was made by a local practitioner who seemed competent. However, after seeing Dr. Devgan for a second opinion, the difference in the quality of care was stark and immediately obvious. As such, I was happy to switch to his care, despite the fact that this meant that I had to endure a multiple hour drive in each direction to see him (in LA traffic, no less). My procedure went flawlessly, the outcome was perfect, and I will certainly be referring my friends and family to Dr. Devgan in the future.
ILENE NATHAN
Dr. Devgan is the best. Great result! Great attention throughout pre and post op. After wearing glasses for over 60 years, cataract surgery and lens implant, I have 20/20 vision. It's a whole new world!
Fernando Arreola
Completely satisfied with the LASIK procedure and got amazing results, I now have 20/15 vision in both eyes. Dr. Uday Devgan thoroughly answered all my questions both pre and post surgery, and was very quick to respond over email. Complete professionalism and friendliness from both himself and his staff. Would highly recommend.
May Loved
I work at the hospital in surgery department. When I wanted to have LASIK done, I asked my co-workers and doctors who is the best surgeon to do this procedure. They all said "Dr. Devgan!" Many referred their friends and family members to him. I was not disappointted. Dr. Devgan and his team are amazing and professional. I don't need eyeglasses any more. I would recommend him to anyone who need LASIK.
Now it's time to shop for fashion sunglasses (my old eyeglasses are darken when exposed to the sun). Possiblities are endless. 🕶💞

I met Dr Devgan 10 years ago when he restored full vision on my right eye with cataract surgery. I was a volunteer soccer ref for kids soccor program and a big white spot on my eye prevented me from calling offside. Left eye this time as I was seeing 8 moons from random refraction through my cloudy left eye. Dr Devgan's skillfull cataract surgery restored full vision on both eyes; its a whole new life. I left on a 6weeks trip to Asia one week post-op, and just returned. Doing great, and seeing the colors of the fall season. Its a beautiful world.
Phil Levy
My experience with Uday was so good that when the treatment and followup came to a conclusion, I was saddened that I would not be seeing him again for a whole year. When you consider that I flew in from Phoenix to los Angeles for the privilege, that is really something. I am very happy with the surgical results and the caring manner and enthusiasm for each patient that he shows. I chose Uday over surgeons in my home town and elsewhere in the US due to his visibility on the world stage of Ophthalmology and the level of respect he garners world wide. If you are fortunate enough to schedule your surgery with this man, you have my unreserved recommendation and know that you are in the best of hands.
Scott Grant
I am an ophthalmologist who recently had cataract surgery in both eyes performed by Dr. Devgan.
The entire process went as smoothly as possible. The surgical experience was flawless. And the results perfect. Highly recommend Dr.Devgan.
Deborah Festa
Dr. Devgan is a master at his craft. I cannot recommend him more highly for taking immense pride in his work and his incredible compassion, honesty, being completely up to speed in all relevant innovation, and producing excellent results. I'll be recommending him to all my friends.

I found Dr. Devgan after weeks of deep research and learning everything I can regarding cataract, its types, procedures, lenses and everything else out there available on the internet. My case of posterior polar cataract is a fairly rear (few in a thousand) and there are very few professionals in the world who are experienced in treating this condition. See, many doctors would properly detect the case but if they operate - the industry statistics say you have more than 30% chance of serious complications. 1 out of 3. Not a great perspective... While learning about different methods of treatment, I kept coming across articles in scientific journals written by Dr. Devgan. I was impressed with the depth of his knowledge and easily recognizable signs of a true, trustworthy professional and enthusiast of his field. As he was remote for me selecting him was not an option. Or so I thought and called his office to ask for a reference to a specialist in NYC area. From the first moment of talking to his staff member it was clear to me that no matter what it takes I would be flying to LA. It would be my privilege to be treated by Dr. Devgan and to be one of his numerous patients among which are his own mom and dad. So I did, traveled there several times... and am very grateful I did.
Honestly, I am not sure why Dr. Devgan needs reviews on the internet - perhaps just as a due to the modern way of doing research by amateurs. Every ophthalmologist knows him. Number of them choose him as a doctor for themselves. People fly to his office from all over the world. Being the Chief of Ophthalmology at Olive View-UCLA Medical Center he taught surgery to hundreds of residents for more than a decade and he unquestionably is the top professional in the field. He conducts trials for FDA and asked to test devices by major biotech companies, he invents tools himself and helps the industry pioneers to push new break-through technologies. The list goes on and on. One would never think this doctor is reachable for an ordinary patient at least not in the next 50 years.
Yet everything you read about him is absolutely true. Very caring and attentive, would give you his personal email and phone and would answer your questions to the point of you running out of them. Readily going into the mathematical, mechanical and medical depth of any aspect of your interest. I was amazed by my experience with Dr. Devgan and his staff. Not only he gives you the opportunity to see the world again. He does it in the way when you wish you had more than two eyes. Extraordinary intelligent, deep thinker, enthusiastic, kind, approachable doctor with the capital letter D. His confidence, experience and knowledge together with enormous amount of positive energy you feel when he is next to you are phenomenal.
I wish all doctors had Dr. Devgan's human and professional qualities. There is no other doctor for me, my family or anyone I know.
Thank you Doctor and I wish you many productive and successful years of bringing happiness to your patients and people around you!
Rodney Charters
As a Cinematographer I value my vision. I have been completely satisfied with the painless effortless remarkable new set of lenses placed in my eyes by the skill and friendliness of Dr Uday Devgan, Thank-you. I thoroughly recommend his professionalism.
Cindy Aparicio
Not only is Dr. Devgan the best at what he does, but he is passionate about his work. Dr. Devgan was very professional yet very friendly and comforting. I had the most pleasant experience and would recommend him to every person who is thinking of getting Lasik.
vanaja mudunuri
Dr.Devgan is a excellent cataract surgeonso fortunate to have him as my doctor,I had my other eye done by local ophthalmologist and suffered 3 months with constant pain redness and tearing still with the lens that was implanted by my local doctor I only had 20/40 vision now .,I consulted several doctors after my first eye cataract surgery and I found Dr.Devgan he is so thorough and so knowledgeable and a genuine doctor,he treated me just like I am his own family,he is so prompt in answering by email,will spend any amount of time to clarify my questions, it amazes me how busy he is always smiling and ready to give his time,feel Like you are the only patient for him
I am a family physician and have extensive contact with several physicians and specialists I can vouch for his knowledge and expertise.
I feel he is a legend and leads the pack
He never rushed me through the decision and supportive of the decision l was assured he only his patients best interest rather than his interest.
SO PREVILEGED TO HAVE YOU DR.DEVGAN AS MY DOCTOR
God Bless You
Hope you can make more doctors like you or clone yourself to many places
Gloria Young
A wonderful doctor and a wonderful center! All the employees were nice and professional. Dr. Devgan was extremely involved and patient, taking the time to thoroughly answer all the questions we had for him, whether in-person or via email. The surgery and recovery process went smoothly and painlessly. Great!
Aileen Leavitt
Everything I read about Uday Devgan in his brochure and online, is absolutely true, in my opinion. Not only are his accomplishments to date amazing, but he is friendly, nice to his patients (even when they’re nervous about eye surgery of any kind – like me) but he explains what’s going to happen, just the way it really happened.
For the first time in many years, when I look at the trees in front of my house, I notice the individual leaves. When I drive my car, I can read the street names in time to turn on the street, if I want to. I can read a page of print without the big magnifying glass to help me, which I’ve needed the last couple of months.
If you’re going to need cataract surgery, don’t wait as long as I did. It really changes your life for the better.

Came highly recommended from a friend's eye surgeon on the East Coast and did not disappoint! Did a fantastic job on my cataract surgery; I now have perfect vision! I will recommend this highly skilled surgeon to everyone I know.
karen piluso
I was very happy with my results with Dr. Devgan. I felt well cared for and informed in regards to my procedure. He is top class in his profession, and his technicians are also very skilled and service oriented. All of his staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Devgan!
Pamela Phillips-Oland
I had heard Dr. Devgan was the best in the world, and he is. He is not only kind, with a wonderful sunny nature; he understands procedures on the eyes mathematically and with precision. I opted for mono vision, and was able to read with 20:20 vision the next morning! Wow!
Kathy Wexler
Dr Devgan was not only an excellent surgeon, he explained everything carefully and responded immediately when I had questions. It's great to be free of glasses (and cataracts!) for the rest of my life!
Heather Buskuehl
My husband had a great experience with Dr. Devgan and the specialty surgery center. Friendly, professional, and efficient service, and 20/20 vision after surgery-- can't ask for better! Highly recommended.
Robert Tucker
Great Physician explains everything and provides you with his cell phone number in the unlikely event you need to speak with him. He is a doctors' doctor.
Bruce Eisenberg
We have a very deep vetting process for doctors and Dr. D met every one. He is very easy going, makes you feel completely relaxed and was available to answer every email question I had the same day. I could not have been in better hands !
Reza K.
The best Dr. you can ever find. I have never seen someone so passionate and so knowledgeable and so skillful all at the same time.
You are in great hands with Dr. Devgan. You know you are getting the worl’s best first class service and treatment. A genius.

I never expected this process to be as easy as it turned out to be. Within two weeks, my vision is better than it has been in years. My surgery was painless and Dr. Devgan eased my nerves and answered all of my questions quickly.
We Care Dental
When in to get my surgery done. Dr was great at explaining everything and putting me at ease. The procedure was done quickly and efficiently. I returned home the same day very happy with results. Highly recommend Dr. Uday.
Frank James
wish I could give Dr. Devgan 10 stars — he and his staff made my cataract surgery breeze !! I had cataracts for several years and it got to the point that I had a hard time passing my eye exam for my drivers license . Now I have 20/20 vision in both eyes !!! Can’t remember ever seeing this well !!
Mike daSilva
As a preface, I am a fellow ophthalmologist (eye MD) in the Los Angeles area. I can confidently say that he has the best surgical hands in the business. There is no one I would trust more with my own eyes than Dr. Devgan.
After finally getting some free time in my schedule, I recently had LASIK with Dr. Devgan. The experience was so smooth that it almost feels like a dream at this point. His office is streamlined, and they use the highest quality diagnostic machinery at the preoperative visit. This exam is very thorough. His superlative optometrist Dr. Tabanfar confirmed my refraction, and was very knowledgeable and professional. Dr. Devgan and I then had a good discussion about my vision correction options, and I was a great candidate for LASIK. Scheduling was simple, and I'm generally very impressed with the office.
My LASIK experience was similarly excellent. I appreciate the measures they take to confirm every step of the process, and the care they take in maintaining an exact workflow. This is really important in LASIK, and Dr. Devgan leads the team to perfection. I was comfortable and relaxed the whole time. While it is common to have some vision fluctuation after LASIK, I personally have had extremely sharp vision since the first postoperative day.
Dr. Devgan has a lot of five star reviews, but trust me when I say it means a lot to have another ophthalmologist come to you for surgery. He has done a lot of surgery for fellow ophthalmologists, and there's a reason. Dr. Devgan is the best!

My father had surgery with Dr. Uday. Everything about the experience was extremely impressive. Dr. Uday is very kind and relatable. The surgery was complex but very successful. Highly recommended.

Inspiring medical credentials superior to anyone else that could be researched. I am 100% inspired by his knowledge, capability and performance. A true gentleman and scholar.

Excellent surgeon. My vision is now 20/20 something I could not achieve with contacts. My ophthalmologist Dr. Schall recommended him and I couldn't be happier.

Am happiest with new lenses, fixed astigmatism. The care, professionalism and competence of the whole office was obvious throughout. A delight. Heck, I'd visit just for the enjoyment.

Excellent and totally nonscary experience. And the outcome in both eyes is 20/20 vision. I could not have asked for better care anywhere.

I was a tough case (cataracts, prior RK, high prescription). Thanks to Dr. Devgan, I now have perfect eyesight, and read my computer and Kindle with no glasses.

I can see again. Dr. Deviant got it right for both eyes, even with my radical LASIK prescription. Thank you again. Life is good.

LIFE CHANGING! ROCKSTAR OPTHAMOLOGIST AND SURGEON!
I just had cataract surgery and vision correction by Dr Devgan and OMG! I haven’t seen like this since second grade! (And my vision was so bad!) I can’t believe it! And it was easy! Pain free! Unbelievable!
My vision impacted every aspect of my life. And with all of the stories I heard from people, I thought I had to give up something when committing to this surgery, but I can see everything!!!
The whole staff is amazing. Jodi was incredibly patient and supportive. The surgery center is amazing. First time I didn’t get sick from anesthesia as the anesthesiologist listened and adjusted her concoction!
True confession - my friend and I not only checked out a ton of doctors but even paid for exams at many offices. Well no one compares. Dr Devgan is not only kind and personable, but he’s a genius and a perfectionist. He gets to know you and what would work best for you. He realized what my concerns were and what my lifestyle is and came up with a plan that has me WOWED!
I honestly can’t imagine there’s anyone like him! This is a total game changer for me! Thank you Dr Devgan! You’ve changed my life!
Leslie Linet
What an incredible experience all the way around. I am so happy to be able to see without my stupid reading glasses anymore, and the whole process was made so easy and fun by Dr Devgan clean and pristine offices with nice staff and candy! I I had a friend who paid three times the amount and told me he wishes he went to Dr Devgan after talking to him post surgery because I got better results. Can’t say enough about this experience.
