"My vision is very important to me. I wore glasses for many years, but they were often in the way when skiing, bicycle riding or using binoculars. I could never find a pair that were totally comfortable, even polycarbonate lenses. It was also tiresome to clean them frequently, while trying to not scratch them. My right eye also had astigmatism, which was noticeable in low light and made judging distance while driving more difficult. We were on a trip in Canada and my glasses fell and broke, so I had to go through the rest of the trip with blurry vision. I chose InFocus Eye Care as they are the only provider in Central Oregon of the latest technology in LASIK surgery that decreases the risk of complications and provides superior visual clarity. As a physician, I highly value technology that decreases risk and improves outcomes. Now, 5 months later, my vision is still 20/15, which is better than 20/20. The astigmatism is gone. The actual procedure was easy for me to tolerate, the staff were very proficient, friendly and knowledgeable. I was concerned about having dry eyes afterwards, but have had no problems. If you live in Central Oregon and enjoy the many activities available here throughout the year, clear vision without the issues of wearing glasses is worth the investment. If you choose InFocus Eye Care, you will be getting the best value in service and technology, with the best possible vision."

"I cannot thank you enough for increasing my quality of life through my vision! It's constantly amazing everyday to come to the realization that THIS is my eyesight! Thank you truly for providing me with all the information to answer my questions and have a positive experience. This has been life changing!"

“I feel like I have complete freedom now. If someone asks me to go camping on the spot, I don't have to worry about contact solution or carrying a glasses case, I'm ready! My vision is amazing! Driving and actually being able to read street signs is incredible, if I had to do it all over again I would in a heartbeat. The doctors and staff at InFocus are great at answering your questions and making you feel you are in good hands."

“I had LASIK at InFocus just over a week ago - I am impressed! I received amazing service from start to finish and was so impressed by Dr. Alul. She was fantastic - patient, kind and thorough. When I went to my regular optometrist (of 15 years) for one of my post-op visits he said, "You had great care. Not only is she a good surgeon, she's a good person. Infocus cares about your eye health which is sometimes not at the forefront of other Lasik providers." I couldn't be happier with my decision.”

Aimee

“InFocus Eye Care meets what every business is striving to achieve. The customer care is top notch. The entire staff went above normal patient care. From the pre-op exam and financial arrangements to the day of the surgery. The technology that is available at InFocus is the best available. I am 100% satisfied and I can see after over 30 years wearing glasses. I can see!! I can not believe how wonderful it is to see 20/20 plus. I can practice tae kwon do without glasses falling off or contacts rubbing out or wrinkling. Words are not enough to explain how happy I am!”

Sean

“After years of struggling with chronic eye infections due to extended contact lens wear, I was referred to Dr. Alul for LASIK surgery. I am so pleased with the care I received from her and her staff! Beginning with my consultation appointment, Dr. Alul took the time to explain all of my treatment options and ensured I was a good LASIK candidate. Never did I feel pressured or obligated. This is definitely not an assembly line operation, Dr. Alul and her staff genuinely care about their patient's outcome. Just one week out from surgery, I already have 20/20 vision! I would feel completely comfortable referring even my own family member to Dr. Alul and her staff.”

Hilary

"I am a mother of 2 small kids and I love to mountain bike and do anything outside with my family. We are all active and on the go. I hated everything about my glasses and contacts! I had worn both for over 20 years and they were so much trouble, and my eyes were starting to get damaged from contacts. The best part about having LASIK was being able to wake up and see. It also is nice not to have to worry about getting contact solution or anything at the store. I got all the information I needed and was given excellent care pre and post operations. I had a fabulous experience at InFocus."

Katie

"I'm a full time fly fishing guide who loves anything outdoors. Before LASIK I was always dealing with fogged up lenses. Running class 3+ rapids with rain or snow obstructing my view was challenging. Contacts always got dirty. The simplicity of the procedure really shocked me. It did not take long and by the next morning I had 20/15 vision. In my case there was limited discomfort the day of the procedure and the day after just one eye was a little scratchy. The staff at InFocus is super friendly. The front desk recognized me each time I entered after my first visit. Dr. Buehler and her stuff really made me feel at home. Thank you!"

“It is now over 4 years since my wife, Judy, and I had cataract surgery. It changed our lives and we no longer needed to wear glasses - except for reading.

I was 78 years at the time of my surgery in November 2018 by Dr. Sundy. Judy had hers a few weeks later. Previously, I had reached the stage where glasses could no longer be prescribed because of cataracts and my sight had deteriorated to such an extent that driving a car was becoming difficult.

Fortunately, at that time, Judy met a lady who recently had the surgery. She assured us there was nothing to fear (I had been filled with trepidation at the thought of someone making an incision in my eyes) and she told us how successful her surgery had been. Upon her referral I approached Infocus and made an appointment to see Dr. Sundy. A life improving event.

We feel so blessed to have had such good vision these past 4 years. Thank you Dr. Sundy!”

“My cataract and lens replacement experience with Dr. Ida Alul was outstanding. At age 70, and as a life-time wearer of hard contact lenses for extreme myopic vision, clouded by cataracts, I made the excellent choice to have Dr. Alul preform this surgery. I am so grateful I did. She and her staff walked me through the process every step of the way. Dr. Alul’s expertise and experience, along with her professional, yet kind demeanor, calmed my fears as I went through the surgery prep and post-operation process. Dr. Alul patiently answered all questions, and after each visit I left confident that I was in good hands. I was most impressed when each time, before I was wheeled into the surgery room, she went over details of what to expect, putting me at ease. She did her homework on me, personally, to insure I received the best possible lens replacement to fit my individual needs. Now, I awaken each morning to view a bright, beautiful world with new eyes for the very first time! If you’re looking for an ophthalmologist who is top in her field to give personal high quality eye care for your cataract and lens replacement surgery, I unreservedly recommend Dr. Ida Alul at Infocus Eye Care.”

“Cataract surgery, although common, naturally causes some trepidation in those of us who have made the decision to have it. I chose InFocus for this procedure after interviewing both local providers. Dr Alul did my pre-surgery exams and cataract surgery; coordination of the various pre- and post-surgery activities and procedures was handled by their surgery coordinator, Courtney.

I had a great experience and a great result. I was 73 at the time and my cataracts were quite cloudy and caused un-correctible astigmatism. I chose a monovision approach (distance in one eye, reading in the other), and am delighted that I can do everything I need to without glasses. And the brightness and clarity of light and colors are simply amazing. I will wear glasses for nighttime driving and for working at the computer, which is expected and normal (replacement lens are fixed in focus).

Dr. Alul was wonderful to deal with: consistently cheerful and professional, patient with my many pre-surgery questions, and confident in the surgery (which she’s performed more than 10,000 times). My followup visits have been similarly great. The staff at the Bend Surgery Center were cheerful, respectful, and confident…it was a painless and comfortable process.

And I can’t say enough about Courtney’s professionalism, thoroughness, and follow through while coordinating the whole process smoothly.

Well done, all. A great experience and I’m very pleased!”

“My experience was outstanding. Every aspect from initial consult to the surgery center and all follow up visits. Kind, empathetic, sincerely caring people all around. I hope to find an ophthalmology practice as great as In Focus when we move.”

J. Fairman

“Seeing 20/20 in 2020 ... wow what an absolute gift of clear sight. Now I see what I did not see before cataract lens replacement. Dr. Alul and Dr Lewis plus the myriad members of the InFocus team are exceptional. Every appointment was on-time, measurements were taken, cataract lens options explained clearly and concisely before selecting the types of lenses. Courtney is an excellent Surgery coordinator/scheduler who "just knows" what I needed to know as a patient; she is like a friend explaining the details too. And, Dr. Alul's rapport with the Bend Surgery Center suite nurses is like being part of a beautiful ballet. Now just two days post-op I see textures and colors with a clarity that I have not enjoyed or seen for many years. Thank you InFocus team.”

L. Smith

“I am ecstatic over the results of my cataract surgeries. I could not be more pleased with the entire staff at Infocus Eye Care. Everyone was caring and professional. I am especially pleased with Dr. Buehler. She answered all my concerns and performed my surgery flawlessly. I will be eternally grateful.”

Melanie A.

As a healthcare professional for 48 years, when I have my own-personal medical care, I want service done by intelligent, efficient, and technically skilled office staff. The Infocus Eye Care front desk, technicians and billing staff met all my requirements.

Dr. Alul replaced both lens which were damaged by aging and cataracts. I now have close to 20/20 vision restored. It is a great improvement.

All of my routinely required follow-up visits were met with cordial: “welcome back…how can we help you” greetings. The visits were brief and allowed plenty of time to return to work.

It is with sincerity and pleasure that I provide commendations and recommendations for the medical service of Infocus Eye Care.

Robert “Pat” Preston

“Dr. Alul got my eyesight back to what I remember as a young man! The lens exchange was perfect. The glasses that I had worn for 15 years went in trash!! It is one of the best things to happen I my life! Thank You Dr. Alul!!”

"I had cataract surgery on both eyes by Dr. Patricia Buhler at In Focus eyecare. I give the entire practice my highest recommendation. Every single person that I interacted with at their practice were professional, caring, kind and extremely helpful. Dr. Lewis, Optometrist, has great patient manner and is extremely good at his job. Courtney, the surgery scheduler, made sure I had ALL the information I needed throughout the process. If you need eyecare, you can depend on them to deliver the best experience you could hope for."

Linda K

"Being a health care professional, I knew the importance of finding a knowledgeable, compassionate, and technically skilled physician who I could trust to do my cataract surgery. I found these qualities in Dr. Buehler. From a patient perspective, she is also surrounded by a pleasant, highly dedicated and caring staff, so each office visit was a very positive and comforting experience. Dr. Buehler was able to restore my vision as if it had been 'digitally remastered in full technicolor' thus re-gifting and enhancing the quality of my life beyond measure. I am extremely grateful and highly recommend Dr. Buehler and her staff at InFocus Eye Care."

Byron Oberst MD

"My experience with the office was excellent- appointment on time, knowledgeable, pleasant and personal at every stage. My experience with Dr. Alul was professional, friendly, pleasant. She takes time and answers questions (many!) very patiently. I recommend her highly. My experience with the surgical facility was excellent- good explanations, each step clarified, they checked in often as I waited to go in to the operating room. It was comforting and just all around nice. I had wonderful results! In a short time frame (<2 weeks) my vision was 20/20 and I use only reading glasses (no RX) for the first time in 20+ years!"

Ann

"Your office strikes me as being exceedingly well trained and professional but more important everyone from the front desk to the individuals making certain you understand your follow up procedures are just plain "nice". Dr. Buehler has incredible curriculum vitae. She carefully reviews all your testing, explains your diagnosis, what procedures you should undertake, explains the probable outcomes (without over promising) and answers your questions in a very understanding manner. Her professional demeanor in surgery is very reassuring. The outpatient surgical center knows its function to the highest degree. Everyone is very professional and careful. They make certain to explain everything to the patient several times."
