Patient Stories
- With my first eye, I noticed the next day the vibrant colors! I didn’t realize that my vision had gotten so bad. It’s only been a week out from my second eye and my vision is 100%! I’m a retired nurse so I’ve witnessed cataract surgery a long time ago and I knew that it was kind of a big deal. But this was the easiest thing I have ever been through.
- Since age 10 I have worn contacts and glasses to correct severe nearsightedness. Recently I decided to have ICL corrective vision surgery, and am simply amazed at my results. My quality of life through vision has unquestionably improved. I can see clearly day and night, in and out of water, and in the comfort of my natural eye. I look forward to experiencing all my passions (swimming, surfing, snow skiing, tennis) with clear ICL vision. I would highly recommend Wilmington Eye… professional, personable, quality results.
- Dear Dr. Polomsky, It’s been nearly 6 months since you removed the cataract in my eyes (graciously coming in on your vacation to help me) and I just wanted you to know that hardly a day goes by that I don’t whisper a silent “thank you” to you for my eyesight. I cannot tell you how grateful I am. Thank you, Dr.!
- This is the second cataract surgery I have had within the last month. Dr. Covington and the entire staff have been most helpful, polite, and professional. I feel all of my questions have been answered and reassuring. From the minute I check in to be seen, the entire staff has been courteous and welcoming. I would highly recommend Dr. Covington and his staff!
- Had both eyes done by Dr. Jenkins. Did a great job. The staff is awesome and can’t say enough about Dr. Jenkins. First time since I was 16 yrs old and don’t have to wear glasses. I’m in my 70’s and it feels great. Thanks!
- Dr. Oester and his team are absolutely wonderful! I left the office in tears today because of the genuine care and compassion they showed my 12 year old son! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I’m still in shock over their kindness after my son’s eyelid procedure! Thank you!
- Dr. Shipley is a wonderful doctor & person. A doctor who cares deeply for her patients. She is an awesome surgeon – my eyesight is no longer doubled!

- This is one of the best-run practices I have ever used and puts other practices to shame.

Wilmington Eye could and did! I would highly recommend Wilmington Eye!!!!!
- I am new to the Wilmington area and had some very bad experiences trying to find physicians with him to work. When I first met Dr. Polomsky, I was skeptical. I had been burned several times working with physicians I didn’t know yet. I chose him to do my cataract surgery and I am absolutely stunned at how well the whole process went. My vision is now amazing and he did an incredibly good job from start to finish. His “bedside manner“ is the best, so unusual with male doctors especially. I would recommend him to anyone for their eye care.

- Dr. Kathleen Leone is a highly skilled ophthalmologist and truly cares about the health and well-being of her patients! After 67 years of wearing glasses, she restored my eyesight by removing my cataracts and inserting multifocal cataract lenses. I have perfect vision now and no longer have to wear glasses!

I told her she is a miracle worker. I can’t say enough about how confident I felt having her as my surgeon. My left eye is my only good eye. I lost my central vision in my right eye 25 years ago due to histoplasmosis. Currently I have monthly injections in my left eye to prevent histoplasmosis issues in that eye (leaking blood vessels). Needless to say I was very nervous about the cataract surgery. Dr. Watson and her team were professional, knowledgeable and very caring. I would highly recommend Dr. Watson.

- Being able to have my assessment at the Jacksonville NC office instead of the Wilmington location saved me money and time. Check in was fast and efficient; the staff friendly and helpful. Dr.Oester was friendly, very knowledgeable, took his time to explain the issues & gave me time to ask questions and discuss the procedure.

- Back in July and November of 2019 I had two corneal transplants at Duke University Hosp. Since then, I’ve needed follow up appointments but have been seen here at Wilmington Eye and the professionalism that I received here locally was second to none…
- I saw Dr Jenkins and his assistants they were all quite friendly and very professional. I definitely enjoyed the appointment and was extremely satisfied. Great practice.

- I feel confident with my decision to receive Botox treatments from your practice. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to comment. Everyone was very pleasant and I look forward to future visits.
- Noted floaters in my field of vision and called the afterhours line. They called me right back and were able to see me the next day. The doctor listened to what was going on, took pictures and determined that it was not something that needed to be treated urgently and scheduled me a follow up in 3 days with my primary ophthalmologist.
- While on an extended vacation I developed floaters in my right eye. I don’t have an eye doctor in the area so I called Wilmington Eye and was immediately transferred to triage. After speaking to a nurse I was scheduled for an appointment the same morning in their Calabash office. Everyone whom I came in contact with was caring and professional. Dr. Watson examined my eyes thoroughly and determined that my condition is due to the normal aging process and not a retina detachment as I had feared. I was so relieved and so grateful for the prompt attention I received. And I know if my condition had needed treatment or surgery, I would have been in extremely kind and capable hands.
- My experience with Willington Eye Care was very good. Dr. Amanda B. explained that my floaters in my left eye were a natural part of life and I was happy to know that there was nothing I could have done to cause it. I also spoke with Dr. Hilary C. and she gave me the same advice concerning my Right eye which started having the floaters a few months prior.

- Dr. Leone’s medical knowledge, comforting care and attention to detail are unequalled. As a cataract surgery patient my experience exceeded my already high expectations. Dr. Leone has the unique and rare ability to combine compassionate care with extensive eye care experience. Dr. Leone listens to the patient and answers all questions in a clear, concise and easy to understand manner. Literally, every Wilmington Eye team member that I came in contact with conveyed that my comfort and care during my cataract procedure were their top priority. Highly recommend Dr. Leone and Wilmington Eye. Thank you Dr. Leone!
- Dr. Leone did a great job with my laser treatment and lens replacement . She also performed more extensive work in treating my wife several years ago with a very successful outcome. The staff at the surgery center and office was very efficient, polite and informative. They made the patient feel comfortable and the procedures were painless . thank you all
- Dr. Leone helped me clearly understand the eye surgery that would be best for me. Her explanations were easy to understand. Her manner was excellent and she is clearly confident in a pleasant way regarding her ability to fix my eyes.

- I loved the experience I had going through LASIK here! Wonderful staff, great service and excellent results!! Thank you all so much!!
- Dr. Leone and staff, I cannot thank you enough for! I think it says a lot about a doctor when she gives me her personal cell in case of emergencies and calls to check up on me. I’ve worn glasses and contacts since I was six years old, and I still can’t quite get over the fact that I went from contacts with a prescription of -10.00 (what is that, somewhere in the range of 20/1,000?) to 20/15 vision! It’s amazing to be able to roll out of bed in the morning and not have to reach for glasses!
- Dr. Leone and the staff at Wilmington Eye made me feel really confident about having a LASIK procedure done on my eyes. They made sure I understood how the procedure worked, what I would need to do for aftercare, and the possible risks associated with it. I was thankful for the way they triple checked everything to make sure I was an eligible candidate for the procedure. Thank you!!

I strongly recommend her as your doctor.

- Dr. J Greene is a wonderful eye doctor. She is professional knowledgeable and cares about her patients. Would highly recommend. Wilmington Eye at Carolina Shores is the best so glad they brought the practice and Dr. Greene to the area.
- As usual Dr. Greene seems to care more about my eyes more that I do. Seriously she is very thorough and never rushes an eye exam. The technician that prepped for my exam I think she was from the pediatrics division of Wilmington Eye was excellent as well.

- Dr. Pitale and staff was very professional and helpful. They made feel very confident with the testing and exam.

- Dr. Pitale was wonderful. He is extremely kind knowledgeable took his time with me answered my questions. I was very comfortable asking stupid questions. I didn’t know much about cataract surgery. I would recommend Dr. Pitale and the Southport office. Everyone was nice and helpful.
- Dr. Pitale was quite thorough in his examination of my eyes. I’m glad he’s working out of the Wilmington Eye Southport office.
- Dr. Pitale and staff are very professional thorough efficient and informative.
- Dr. DeGroff is the most exceptional optometrist I have ever been to. He is clearly driven by a genuine desire to help people. Every employee was kind and welcoming.
- If you are thinking about having cataract surgery I highly recommend Dr. Tang. He recognized immediately and recommended that I have this surgery after my previous doctor had told me for years it was not needed. Thank you Dr. Tang for giving me my clearer vision. I didn’t realize what I was missing all those years having cataracts. My husband was super impressed with Dr. Tang and will have his surgery next month.
- Dr. Tang truly enjoys his work. I could see that before he fixed my cataracts. Friendly informative and efficient. It’s been life changing for me. It’s soo nice to drive without glasses after 30 years. Thanks.
- Very good ICL surgery experience. Dr. Leone and her staff are top notch. Virtually pain free and minimal recovery time. It has been six months and I haven’t missed my contacts/glasses at all. Highly recommended team at Wilmington Eye. Great job to Dr. Leone and her team.
- Dr. Leone was amazing and walked me through every step of my ICL surgery.
- I will sing praises of Dr. Leone and Wilmington Eye and their surgical center until I die. First off Dr. Leone is so wonderful and thorough and made me so comfortable and EXCITED about my surgery ICL. She is SO skilled and 1 DAY post op I was seeing 20/15. Everyone was just so nice and I am so grateful that we have such an amazing facility like this here in Wilmington. Thank you Dr. Leone and Wilmington Eye for giving me the gift of vision without contacts or glasses. I am truly so grateful.
- 7 months ago I made one of the best and an expensive choice. But I do not regret it AT ALL. I did not qualify for LASIK but after some tears were shed and research I spoke with Dr. Kathleen Leone at Wilmington Eye about ICL. Well, I was a perfect candidate and we scheduled surgery. I had been wearing contacts and glasses for as long as I could remember. This has made life so much easier being the active person that I am with Jeeping, dirt bikes, jet skis, and just daily life in general not having to worry about losing contacts or glasses has been amazing. If you are considering LASIK or ICL DO IT.
- I had a refractive lens exchange with Dr. Leone in 2011 and my outcome was great. I recently noticed some decreased vision. I was able to see Dr. Leone quickly. I needed a laser treatment to clear some cloudiness that had developed. I appreciated the time she took to explain why the cloudiness had occurred and how the treatment works. My vision improved almost immediately.
- Great person and doctor. It’s a pleasure to have him and his team to take care of my eyes. I had refractive lens surgery. Went from Walmart readers to perfect vision (I work as a mechanic… glasses fell off fogged up and couldn’t see wiring diagrams) to enjoying life. Ty.
- Great experience going through PRK surgery.
- Dr. Polomsky performed PRK surgery on me. Did everything right to make me feel comfortable before during after surgery. The whole process was a piece of cake I did great in trusting him with my vision.
- Dr. Polomsky did a great job on my eyes. I had PRK 6 months ago and I’m very happy with my results. Thank you to everyone who helped during my surgery to my checkup appointments. You guys are great.
- I had a wonderful experience at Wilmington eye for my recent PRK surgery. Dr. Polomsky and his team were so easy to work with. Marissa and Kelly helped me stay at ease during the surgery and Dr. Polomsky explained the procedure well and was available to answer questions. I would highly recommend him.
- I received PRK 5 months ago and it’s been life changing. I’ve needed contacts and glasses since childhood to see beyond 8 inches in front of me and hoped that corrective surgery would help with eye strain and headaches. I think it has but more than anything I just love being able to see perfectly all the time. I hadn’t realized how difficult so many simple things had been before. The LASIK center team has been wonderful. They’re knowledgeable patient and kind. I’m so grateful. I highly recommend having LASIK and PRK done here.
- I had PRK surgery in February and have had numerous follow up appointments and I can honestly say they are very good. So good that I have decided to make them my primary eye doctor.
- Wilmington Eye made it easy and convenient to schedule an appt. They were very thorough at explaining the procedure and expenses. Dr. Polomsky was professional with a great bedside manner. The PRK was quick and painless.
- Had LASIK surgery done. Extremely professional and procedure was no problem whatsoever. Kelly and Dr. Leone were both very helpful throughout the whole experience. Multiple locations for post op appointment makes life a lot easier the day after. Couldn’t recommend more.
- Before having LASIK I could not see a thing past arm’s length without the help of my glasses. To say I’m ecstatic would be an understatement. I’ve needed glasses since I was 9 years old and at 33 to not need any vision correction is a major blessing. I can’t thank Dr. Leone and her staff enough for taking care of me so well.
- I recently had LASIK. From the consultation visit to the actual day of surgery Wilmington Eye and their staff go above and beyond. If you are thinking about having LASIK done take this review as your sign to go forward with it. It is truly life changing. Dr. Leone Kelly and Missy thank you for the compassionate care you provide before during and after surgery. I will forever be grateful for you all and the staff at Wilmington Eye. Truly life changing.
- Always quick and prompt service with Dr. Leone’s staff. She’s efficient personable and my LASIK was an excellent experience start to finish. I’d highly suggest her to anyone interested in getting the procedure done.
- I honestly cannot say enough. If you are at all interested in LASIK this is the place to go. I recently had LASIK performed by Dr. Covington and I am beyond astonished by my results. I have been in glasses/contacts since 6th grade and I am now free from both. During my surgery Dr. Covington was assisted by Kelly and Missy which helped me remain calm and feel extremely comfortable during the procedure. They were amazing. Kelly LASIK Coordinator was on top of getting me scheduled in office and for all my follow up appts for the next couple months. This office deserved 5 stars all the way.
- Dr. Polomsky was great. He answered all my questions and addressed my concerns while also giving me honest feedback as to my reasons for considering LASIK or PRK. I found him to be professional, knowledgeable. Would recommend anyone considering LASIK or PRK to make an appointment with Dr. Polomsky. The whole process and appointment with Wilmington Eye were superlative in every way.
- Dr. Polomsky and team are fantastic From my consultation to completing my LASIK everything was great. Highly recommend if you are considering LASIK.
- Kelly and Dr. Covington were so kind and calming and did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend them for LASIK.
- I came to Wilmington Eye for LASIK and the entire experience has been great. The staff are so helpful kind and accommodating making the whole process so easy. Dr. Polomsky did a fantastic job and I can now see better than ever.
- Excellent LASIK team.
- Great doctors. Very supportive and helpful throughout the whole LASIK process.
- When I decided to go about my LASIK journey Dr. Leone was the person that came to mind. I worked for WE and she was phenomenal and always had the patient’s best interest in mind. My procedure was in 4/2023 and my only regret is not getting it sooner. My vision now is 20/15 which is better than perfect. I am quite pleased.
- We were treated very nicely with a short wait time. Dr. Orban was both very kind and professional. She explained all information to us in a way we could fully understand.
- I absolutely love Dr. Brillhart. I have been seeing her for about 2 years now I trust her completely. She has made me feel very comfortable at ease with everything I’ve gone through. I had to have a cornea transplant. Dr. Brillhart has been there every step of the way. She has answered all the questions I’ve had explained everything to me sometimes having to explain it twice but she didn’t mind it at all. I would recommended Dr. Madeline Brillhart to everybody.
- Dr. Anthony Tang is the best. He performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes I have now 2010 on both eyes. Thanks so much Dr. Tang Magic Fingers.
- Prompt efficient all-inclusive and compassionate.
- Without question Dr. Tang is a great young man and an excellent doctor to boot. Cares for his patients and explains everything with no pretense in layman’s terms. Has done right by me and is continuing to correct my issues. My opinion is that to be a great physician you have to be a great person first. Kudos to his staff and team as well.
- Dr. Cox is always a pleasure to see. She is upbeat and remembers previous issues. She always explains where we are in terms of maintenance to assure the best future for my vision.
