Richard S. Kalski, MD brings the eye healthcare services you need, the convenience you want and the standards you deserve.
The laser provides a more precise circular incision around the cataract, improves the accuracy during placement of the intraocular lens implant and leads to a greater likelihood of clearer vision.
Dr. Kalski uses advanced technology aspheric IOLs to correct vision at all distances, including far, intermediate, and near. By combining a multifocal or accommodating IOL with the laser for cataract surgery to correct astigmatism, Dr. Kalski is able to customize cataract surgery results, typically reducing a patient’s dependence on eyeglasses or contact lenses.
LASIK stands for laser in situ keratomileusis, which means using a laser underneath a corneal flap (in situ) to reshape the cornea (keratomileusis). This procedure utilizes a highly specialized laser (excimer laser) designed to treat refractive errors, improve vision, and reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses.
PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
I am 67 years old and have worn glasses to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism in both eyes since I was 2 years old. My vision has never been great, even with glasses or contact lenses. For the first time in my life I can wake up in the morning and see the world without glasses. After having surgery with Dr. Kalski 3 weeks ago my vision is better than it has been my whole life. My experience with De. Kalski and his staff has been amazing. He is a kind, considerate Dr. who will walk you through every step of the procedure as well as call before and after the surgery. He is a true genius, miracle worker and compassionate man. His staff is kind, friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to answer any questions or concerns. The office visits, surgery and also surgery at the South Florida Surgery center were enjoyable experiences made even better by the fact that the final outcome was excellent vision with no glasses needed. I would like to thak everyone involved with my surgery especially Dr. Kalski, for their kindness, expertise and excellent care. I will not hesitate to recommend Dr. Kalski to family, friends and anyone who will listen to me sing his praises. Also a shoutout to Dr. Ricardo Silva who so wisely recommended Dr. Kalski to me. Thank you form the bottom of my heart.

Laser Cataract surgery with a multifocal lens
My cataract surgery with Dr. Kalski in early 2021 has enabled me to see long distance and read in both eyes without glasses or contacts. I was referred to Dr. Kalski because years earlier I had multiple RK and LASIK surgeries, which made both the measurement and the actual surgery more complicated. My result after surgery with Dr. Kalski for cataracts could not have been better. I feel like I have young eyes again. If you choose Dr. Kalski for your surgery, I feel confident that you will have the best possible result. I DID!

Laser cataract surgery with a multifocal lens, (prior RK and LASIK)
I underwent cataract surgery on both eyes in April of 2021. Having my cataracts corrected with multifocal lenses has been awesome! Of course, it’s great to be able to see clearly from the time I wake up until I go to sleep – but not only that… Who knew that there were dust bunnies on my popcorn ceiling?! Who knew the leaves on the tree out back had different shades of green? I can drive without having to make U-turns since I can now read street signs in time to change lanes if I need to. Right after the surgeries, I found myself squinting at my computer monitor. Apparently that was a habit – which is no longer necessary. I also found myself forgetting to take off my sunglasses indoors – because my vision indoors with my sunglasses on now is better than it was without them before so I didn’t notice I still had them on. There has even been a spiritual component. For example the song: Say I won’t by Mercy Me begins with these words: Today it all begins, I’m seeing my life for the very first time, through a different lens. Those words are even more meaningful spiritually now that I’ve experienced “seeing my life through a different lens” physically. I appreciate the care and dedication of Dr. Kalski and his awesome team – especially Mary Jo and Brenda.

Laser Cataract surgery with a multifocal lens
Incredible! I was on the verge of disqualification for driving. Kalski and company restored my vision to 20/20. During the procedures, Dr. Kalski’s comments on progress were reassuring. No pain.
The staff is knowledgeable and courteous, patient with old guys. Follow up was thorough.
Five stars for this outfit.

I had cataract surgery 1 week ago. Happy to advise my vision is clear and getting clearer every day. It’s so nice being able to see clearly when I’m driving.
The office staff is professional, accommodating and very caring. I had several visits prior, where my eyes were terrible. Their staff made me comfortable and Dr. Kalski provided superb medical care.
Dr. Kalski explained everything during surgery step by step, which was very comforting. His medical care before, during and post surgery was professional, caring and aided my recovery exponentially.
I highly recommend Dr. Kalski and his staff. Thank you for my clear vision.

I had a great experience throughout: very thorough testing from day one to follow-up visits. Surgery day was quick and comfortable. Highly recommend. I will have my other eye done shortly.

Cataract surgery with a traditional lens
In September, I had double cataract surgery performed by Dr. Richard Kalski. The entire process was a fabulous experience. From D. Kalski’s practice to the surgical center, I could not have asked for a better experience. The entire staff showed great empathy and efficiency throughout the entire process. As per the results, my vision has been restored to almost perfection. I consider this nothing short of a miracle, given that I was almost legally blind before the process. I recommend Dr. Kalski and his entire staff without reservation.

At first I was hesitant to have cataract surgery but now I am so very happy that I had it done by Dr. Kalski. Now I can see clearly and my driving license is now unrestricted. The surgery went perfectly and I cannot say how pleased I am that it was done by Dr. Kalski and the follow up visits were a breeze. His office staff especially Brenda were so accommodating that it was a pleasure. I would definitely recommend Dr. Kalski and his staff to anyone considering having this procedure.
