I am so happy with Dr Azman. I have extremely dry, painful eyes and Restasis is just not effective. Dr. Azman performed IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment and after one treatment my eyes feel so much better. Over the 2 weeks since my treatment, I have less pain, swelling, dryness and crustiness around my eyelids. My contact lenses feel comfortable. I am so pleased with my results. Dr. Azman and his entire staff are exceptional: kind, compassionate and professional. He listens and answers all of my questions. My examination was so thorough. I have been suffering for years not knowing all of the options available to me. If you have dry eyes , I highly recommend Dr. Azman.

I've always had sensitive eyes, but that sensitivity went to a whole new level this past spring when I started getting large styes that would not go away. At that point, my eyes were so sensitive, I stopped being able to tolerate any eye makeup no matter what brand, type or ingredients because it would make my styes worse. I also had a droopy left eyelid that began to negatively affect my vision so much that I couldn't complete a routine eye exam in early June, which is when I received my diagnosis of ocular rosacea. The treating optometrist at the time prescribed me medication that didn't work well for long, and told me that intense pulsed light (IPL) might be an option for me, although he didn't offer that treatment at his office nor could my provider offer me any option for that type of treatment for months. After that, I researched my condition and decided my best option was to find a dry eye specialist who offered IPL treatments for people like me, and who could schedule me for a treatment evaluation quickly. That's when I found Dr. Azman and Azman Eye Care Specialists. Best move I ever made for my eyes! Dr. Azman himself offered the greatly appreciated personal approach of speaking with me directly before scheduling my evaluation very quickly, which is something no eye care office I had called seemed able to do. My evaluation was comprehensive, and my recommended treatment of four IPL sessions started within the two weeks that followed it. These four sessions have made a world of difference for my eyes (my before treatment, mid treatment, and after treatment pictures SHOW it); my styes went away, my eye inflammation went WAY down, the skin around my eyes looks and feels healthier, and Dr. Azman's treatments very likely saved my eye's tear and oil glands from severe and permanent damage. I am happily now a loyal patient of Azman Eye Care Specialists.

My eyes were in very bad shape when I first seen Dr. Azman, primarily my eye lids. Eyes always got styes in them over the years and had to deal with red and inflamed eyes and eyelids. Since seeing Dr. Azman I’ve had know issues. I’m going on a year now without the problems I was dealing with before. My eyes and eyelids feel so much better. Vision is better and it’s so much easier to focus now that my eyes are cleared up. Thank you Dr. Azman you’re the man

I was someone who suffered with dry eyes needed punctal plugs, eye drops and eye wash constantly. I also have roesia, Dr Benjamin said I would be a good candidate for IPL - Intense Paulse Light therapy - I had the 4 recommended treatments and my eyes feel fantastic! I don't feel like I have sand in my eyes at the end of the day! Such a relief!! I felt a small difference after the second treatment but the 3rd treatment was when I really noticed a difference. Not only do my eyes feel fantastic but my roesia also cleared up some, so double bonus! I would highly recommend IPL to anyone suffering with dry eyes and Dr. Benjamin is very personable and explains the process fully. If you are nervous about the treatment after speaking with him you will be comfortable knowing that he knows exactly what he is doing. He will also speak to you during the process to make sure you are doing okay. And will stop the process if need be. Such a great experience and a Wonderful doctor!! Barbara Dorris

I have received superlative eye care from both Dr. Thomas Azman and Dr. Benjamin Azman for many years for different eye issues. There is no place like it. They are the best, the cutting edge, the kindest doctors. I wish family and friends living in other places could find such eye doctors, but there just isn't anyone that compares to them.
