Valley Eye Associates: Tetting Ryan P OD

Aug 2023

I am so thankful for Dr. Vrabek. I came to him for removal of cataracts and to implant new lenses. I have a bad astigmatism and keratanosis. Both of these conditions make my surgery more difficult. Dr Vrabek suggested Light Adjustable Lenses as these can be adjusted with UV light treatments AFTER they are implanted! I went with his suggestion and am so happy I did! I am now 4 months past the surgery and have 20/20 vision and no need for glasses at all! Thank you, Dr. Vrabek and the whole team of great people at Valley Eye. I highly recommend!!

I went in for a contact fitting and eyeglass exam beginning of June. Today I went back to get my eyeglass prescription reviewed with Dr. Tetting as I didn't bring my glasses the first time I went. What a regrettable visit that was, but this is on me. I should've known better. I have friends, including my husband, that had a bad experiences at Valley Eye Associates years ago. Idk why I thought my experience was going to be any different. In summary, this doctor told me in order for me to understand what he was trying to tell me I need 4 years of optometry school. He said it's hard to explain things to patients because they don't understand and don't have the education he does. He said my eyes are changing because I'm old, he said "you are 42, I'm 48, we are old." At some point I just let him talk and knew I made a huge mistake in coming back. My first visit wasn't great, so I honestly don't know why I went back. If you can't explain things to other people that don't have your eye medical education without letting them know that and then maybe you need to take a step back and reflect in what would be the best way to approach a patient that have questions and is looking to understand their new eye prescription.
