*Patient reviews reflect individual experiences, and individual results may vary.

"I am now six months post ICL surgery and I couldn’t be happier with how Kovach took care of me. My cornea was too thin for Lasik and I’ve been wearing contacts for 35 years. With vision around -5.00 for each eye and some stigmatism, I was not going to be an easy patient. Seeing 20/20 still! Highly recommend considering ICL and Kovach for your eye surgery."
- Brian O.

“I had the SMILE procedure done by Dr. Kovach and I am very happy with the results. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They explained everything so I felt very at ease during the procedure. I would definitely recommend them.”
-Cierra
"I had two separate procedures done including LASIK and I couldn't be happier with the results and the people at the South Barrington office. Very professional and very friendly!"
- Bob D.
"Kristy and Dr. Gradianu are so wonderful! I was very anxious about my upcoming cataract surgery and they both took the time to explain and make me understand the entire procedure in a way that made sense to me! I feel very relieved and very content with them and the entire staff! Such nice people! They have without a doubt, earned my trust, Thank You!"
