Ive been to a cornea specialist before seeing Dr Lacayo for poor vision in my left eye. After four visits the specialist told me i had to live with it bc the endothelial cells were damaged. My opthalmologist disagreed with the specialist assestment, and referred me to Dr. Lacayo. Dr. Lacayo determined that it was epithelial cells that were causing the problem, and he polished them. He restored my vision!!! I would highly recommend Dr. Lacayo to anyone with, or without medical diagnosis.
“Excellent Physician”
