Dr. Berman,I wanted to say thank you again for changing and making my life exponentially better. I have struggled with Strabismus since I was a child. I was able to adjust my life and adapt to this condition, although at times it was extremely bothersome. About 6 months ago it got to such a bad point that performing normal daily activities, such as driving, hiking, biking etc became almost undoable due to my horrible double vision. At that time life became very bleak, and I was extremely discouraged not being able to live the active life style I always had.Simple things like hiking on a moderately rocky trail, or riding a mountain bike on even an easy trail became very difficult. Driving was also very difficult. The double vision had become completely debilitating. Trying to focus with my eye in turned caused headaches, and made me tired constantly trying to focus. Life definitely was not much fun when my eye was at its worst.After an eye test with Associated Eye care, I was immediately referred to Dr Berman and was told he would absolutely be able to help me out with my condition. My first meeting with Dr Berman and his team went exceptionally well. They provided me a very thorough examination with extensive testing to determine what the best course of action would be to correct my vision and allow me to live a normal life again. My eye sight was actually very good with 20 20 vision. The major problem was, my eyes were not working together, which is what was causing my severe double vision. Dr Berman concluded eye glasses would not help with my condition and there would be no reason for me to purchase glasses.Dr. Berman told me he would be able to fix and correct my double vison. He was extremely confident in his ability to help me get back to living a normal life. This made the decision for me to have Strabismus surgery a very easy one. Most importantly, due to Dr Bermans confidence in his ability to perform the surgery with great results, I felt much more comfortable with my decision to proceed with the operation. His staff were very professional and able to get me scheduled to have the operation in less than a month.Post operation, My life has completely changed for the better. I am able to live the life I always had before my eyes got so bad from Strabismus. My double vision is completely gone. I cant begin to explain how blessed I feel to have my eyesight better than it has been since I was a kid. One thing I never had was depth perception. After the surgery it is like a whole new world being able to look at things and actually have depth perception.. Its almost like seeing the world in 3D for the first time.For anyone with Strabismus, I would highly highly recommend scheduling a meeting with Dr Berman and his team to go over options that are available. If it is determined surgery is the best option, I would absolutely recommend having it done. I cant thank Dr Berman enough for completely changing my life for the better.. I wish I had done this years ago. I wish I knew the option to completely correct my double vision was possible. Thank you so much! Sincerely, Steve IlesSteve Iles

I could not be more pleased with my cataract surgery with Dr. Cady. He and his staff were fantastic. I knew I was in kind and capable hands from the beginning to the end. I have had NO discomfort. My vision is exactly as I expected it after surgery. I am elated! Thanks!!

I was a patient of Dr. Berman from the time I was weeks old until I was 22. I see many people complaining about the wait time. I dont think they understand that Dr. Berman is one of the ONLY pediatric eye doctors who also perform surgeries in the state of Maine. He has performed two eye surgeries on me, and seen me yearly my whole life. He may not always be the friendliest, but he is good at his job. He probably would like to spend more time with each patient, but the volume is so ridiculous that he cant. I now see Dr. Whitney Miller, but Dr. Berman told me to go back to him should my lazy eye become more pronounced. He cares about his patients, but has likely had to sacrifice some of his bedside manner for efficiency. The question is, how can we encourage more pediatric eye surgeons to come to Maine? There is a shortage of quality eye doctors. My sympathies to all those with screaming kids, to the kids at the eye doctors in discomfort, and to Dr. Berman and his staff for being so overwhelmed.
