I had ICL done after over 20 years with glasses. The experience was very easy and I actually got pretty nauseous afterwards. Doctor Darlington over accommodated me by letting me stay at the office and the staff was very very friendly.

I am a military veteran. I think Dr. Darlington is a consummate professional. I appreciated his straight to the point approach. His work was exemplary. For the first time in my life I am able to see without eyeglasses. Even though finances prevented me from receiving the premium implants, I am very pleased with what was done. If circumstances improve in the future soon enough, I will be contacting Dr. Darlington for consultation and treatment if possible. Additionally I truly respect and appreciate the courtesy of everyone involved with my case. Makes an old war horse proud to have served. Thank You ALL

Dr. Darlington performed cataract surgery on both eyes recently 2 weeks apart. He explained the different types of lenses and the procedure for cataract surgery. He and his staff are friendly and efficient. I can't remember ever seeing as good as I do now. My eyes are recovering great. I would highly recommend Dr. Darlington

I had both lens replacements done. Exams leading up to surgery were done in a timely fashion, no long waits in office or exam rooms. The staff is very friendly (I would especially cite Alex for his professionalism). Options for lens types is explained so you can make an informed decision. Dr. Darlington did a fantastic job, I'm back to seeing great again.

I went to see Dr. Darlington for cataract removal surgery on both eyes. The surgery went far better than I ever expected. I just had my one week post op appointment and all is great. I am so glad I decided to have the surgery and have Dr. Darlington do the procedure.

I went to see Dr Darlington last year with blurry vision in my left eye. After a complete exam he informed me that not only do I have a cataract in my left eye, but one is also forming in my right eye as well. They shared with me how each procedure would go and the entire staff at The Eye Institute assisted me in making an informed decision on which lens to get. I want with the more expensive lens, and I had to pay additional out-of-pocket as it was not covered by health insurance. I am so glad I did get the better lens and I am so glad that I went to Dr Darlington. My current vision is 20-18 with no glasses!!! He and his staff were easy to get along with, but professional in every way. The only down-side is there is a long wait time to see the Dr (usually an hour plus for each visit) but it was well worth the wait each time. I am telling all my family and friends to go to Dr Darlington for all of their eye health issues.

I just completed my last visit with Dr. Darlington after two cataract surgeries two weeks apart. He is efficient yet takes the time to answers questions to make his patients feel comfortable. Excellent doctor!!

I saw the Dr for cataract surgery. He was friendly and professional. He answered every question I asked, BUT that's also my complaint, since this was all new to me, I didn't know what to ask. I was given a sheet of paper with three lens choices. It described each lens, but I didn't feel like I got much counseling on the pros and cons of each. It kind of felt like he didn't want to make a recommendation because he was afraid the patient would blame him if they didn't get the outcome they wanted. This made me uncomfortable. I ultimately did my own research and picked the Extended Depth of Focus lens and was happy with the results. However, about 6 weeks post surgery, I had a terrible case of floaters in the eye to the point that the vision in my left eye is almost as bad as it was before surgery. This hopefully will clear. I don't remember there being any discussion of this being a possible (or frequent) side effect. Again, questions were answered but no information was volunteered.

Dr. Darlington performed cataract surgery on me approximately 3 years ago then saw me quickly and performed a laser procedure on the same day as my office visit to resolve cloudiness in my lense. I was seeing less than 20/500 on arrival and could see 20/25 upon my exit. He is professional and skilled. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Darlington recently performed cataract surgery on my eyes 2 weeks apart. I found him to very professional, knowledgeable, and direct in answering questions regarding lens options. I was seriously nervous about the procedure, but the Dr and staff were reassuring, the process was efficient, and the results excellent. Cataracts are gone, lens implanted, and vision is clear. Directions post op were explicit and easy to follow. Being free from wearing hard contact after 50+ years has me turning cartwheels and I feel like a kid! Thank you Dr. Darlington

In October Dr. Darlington removed cataracts from both eyes a couple of weeks apart. I opted to have mono vision with the implanted lenses and I am very pleased with the results. After each of the surgeries I had no discomfort. The eye drop regime one follows to ensure recovery is well thought out and easy to follow. In addition to the cataracts I have glaucoma and Dr. Darlington performed an additional procedure at the same time to further lower the eye pressure. I found Dr. Darlington to be an exceptional eye surgeon and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone wanting the best.

I was referred to Dr Darlington under emergency circumstances. He and his staff have been amazing. I have had 3 surgeries on each eye and I know how blessed I am to have my sight, Thanks to this great Dr and the Lord. I have received service at the Melbourne, Rockledge and Titusville centers and all 3 were great experiences.

Loving the miraculous vision I am experiencing after cataract surgery by Dr. Darlington. Low vision from cataracts led my eye doctor to recommend surgery by Dr. Darlington. As a nurse, I researched his qualifications and experience. At my thorough eye examination, I had many questions and he answered them all with patience and understanding. He explained the differences in the intra-ocular replacement lenses and level of vision expected with each one. The surgery was painless and having vision restored, overwhelming. What a gift vision is, and I am grateful for his expertise and gentle manner. The surgical staff and office staff were competent and courteous. The pre and post cataract drop regimen chart is user friendly and detailed, which is crucial to post-op care. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. J. Darlington and his staff for expert cataract surgery.
