My vision was so BAD. Very difficult to wear contact lenses or glasses at night. Dr. Gulani himself explained to me about the procedure. My experience at Gulani Vision Institute has been Excellent! Dr. Gulani is Excellent, compassionate and a truly thorough clinician. He performed Advanced Laser Vision Surgery (ASA) on me. I recommended to all my friends. My husband (Dr. Majdi Ashchi) will come for eval soon. Thanks for your care!!

OB GYN specialist

Jacksonville, Florida

Being a physician, I had to struggle with seeing distant objects clearly and also reading was a chore. I had to wear eyeglasses since I was 12 years old and was handicapped when a pair of glasses broke.

I heard of Dr.Gulani through an article published in a News magazine about Dr. Gulani and his “VISION.”

My experience at GVI has been Excellent, and fruitful

Dr. Gulani is very professional and has a courteous staff.
He performed my Advanced Laser ASA surgery and I see great at all distances

He gives a “personal touch” to his patients which I really appreciate being a psychiatrist myself. Very professional, down to earth and highly skilled.

I now have the “Visual freedom” which I did not have since I was 12 years old.

Dr. Gulani is “Top notch”

I shall refer my friends, patients and family to him.

My vision before Advanced Laser Vision Surgery was worse than 20/800. I had been wearing contacts since I was thirteen and glasses since I was 10. I started to have problems with my contacts and I hated wearing glasses. I enjoy photography and I couldn't see well with my glasses. I heard of Dr.Gulani thru other patients that had been seen by Dr. Gulani and were very satisfied. Dr.Gulani is a very caring human being. He seems passionate about his specialty and that gives confidence to the patient. My vision results have been Amazing; went above and beyond my expectations.

I had previous Radial keratotomy (RK) coupled with cataract, I did not know how impaired my vision was until Dr. Gulani improved it! I came to Gulani Vision Institute following my eye doctor’s recommendations since he knew of Dr.Gulani’s ability to correct radial Keratotomy cases My experience was Very Professional. Dr. Gulani treats me like a member of his family I was amazed with my improved vision after placement of the ReStor lenses. My field of vision was improved, my near vision was improved and the starburst pattern that came from RK surgery now was a more pleasant halo effect. Driving at night is now easier. Dr. Gulani’s approach is continually reassuring and positive.

I was having trouble with my daily activities due to my vision. It was interfering with my work. I heard of Dr.Gulani from one of my patients who is also a friend. She had surgery done with him and sees great. Her mother, sister and now her son too had surgery with Dr. Gulani and they all see so well. My experience at Gulani Vision Institute has been Very good! Dr. Gulani is a pleasant guy, good at his job. My vision is improving and keeps on getting better. I am not having trouble at work. Dr. Gulani is a great surgeon, staff is attentive, courteous. Thank you all. You did a good job!

Previous vision was terrible. I was very nearsighted with high astigmatism. Thisrestricted my activities since I am a physician and also into many sports. My wife (also a physician) had her Advanced Laser Vision surgery with Dr. Gulani and she insisted that I see him too. My experience at Gulani Vision Institute has been Excellent ! I feel very comfortable and confident in Dr.Gulani’s abilities, I also find him very personable. I feel like I owe him a great deal. I am now Confident. Free ! 

*Dr. Elana Noble, Dr. Noble's wife also underwent Advanced Laser Vision Surgery with Dr. Gulani as her surgeon.

Dr. Alan Noble

I had problems seeing far without glasses or contact lenses but when I wore my contacts late at night, they become an irritation to my eyes. I hear about Dr.Gulani’s world famous Lasik skills from other doctors who had surgery with him. My experience at Gulani Vision Institute has been Excellent! Dr. Gulani is a very professional and well trained ophthalmologist who treat patients as individuals not “mass” production like other practices. I’m happy I decided to have my eyes/vision corrected and see so well. I shall surely recommend Dr. Gulani to everyone I know

I and my husband are eye doctors ourselves. I attended one of Dr. Gulani's educational lectures. Dr. Gulani's knowledge and compassion for refractive correction brought me to the Gulani Vision Institute. My experience was Wonderful. I feel Dr.Gulani is the best! He is Personable, experienced, very intelligent (brilliant). I see great after Dr.Gulani performed Laser Vision Surgery in the form of Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA). I don't have to put glasses on or contacts, but I still think I'm wearing them, I see so good. I think Dr. Gulani's surgical skills, education for patients, and personal touch are beyond comparison.

"I attended Dr. Gulani's lecture on Corneoplastique during his visit to South Africa. I was so impressed that I traveled to Jacksonville, Florida to witness these futuristic techniques and am amazed by the results. It was an honor to witness a Master Surgeon".

Prof Eduardo Sevenster - South Africa
(Lasik Surgeon)

I had Radial Keratotomy (RK) previously and my vision required corrected lenses for all my outdoor activities and social events.

 I want to thank you again for allowing me to learn from you.

 My name is Dr. Alberto Leon. I am a Pediatrician and as you might imagine vision, especially near vision, is very important in my profession.

I have had myopia, or problems relating to seeing at distance, since childhood. I have used eyeglasses and contacts for years, until I had Lasik correction by a previous ophthalmologist. Due to the demands of my job, one eye was left for near vision and one fully corrected to be able to see both near and far without glasses. This worked, but vision was not optimal in either aspect. For prolonged reading, I needed eyeglasses to bring both eyes to near vision and another pair for distance driving.

The Gulani Vision Institute (GVI) is an Excellent, Pleasant and modern setup with most advanced technology. Despite my own status as a nationally renowned eye surgeon with over a decade of experience, I was amazed at the level of work being done especially in Lasik surgery and how Dr. Gulani has turned this surgery into an ART of perfect vision surgery.

Dr. Gulani’s surgical results are Mind blowing. Never seen before. ie. Lasik outcomes, pristine corneal transplants, advanced cataract surgeries, pinguecula, pterygium next day outcomes and amniotic membrane surgeries. The GVI staff is very helpful with corporate mannerism, surprisingly good academic knowledge about ophthalmology. Dr. Gulani loves life and people, he makes patients, staff and other colleagues feel close and caring. I will not only recommend but tell other eye surgeons worldwide that this is the place to learn the future of ophthalmology."

 Dr. Renali Agbayani underwent Advanced Laser surgery on both eyes and extremely happy with her vision better than 20/20.

Without my glasses or contacts I was blind. I had spent the last 25 years suffering with different contact lenses, solutions, etc.

I heard of Dr.Gulani through associates and I was able to attend his lecture on refractive surgery and corneal transplants. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Very professional, were willing to work with my difficult schedule. Dr. Gulani is an absolute professional exudes confidence and caring. He’s passionate about eye care and is very attentive to his patients needs. It has been very liberating being able to throw all those contact lenses, solutions, and glasses away. No longer feel that eye strain at the end of a long day when I was a contact lens wearer. Dr. Gulani is extremely thorough. Does a terrific job educating his patients and taking the time to answer their questions. I have made recommendations to other colleagues who may considering surgery.

Dr. Erich Schramm

Jacksonville, Florida

 I am a physician (Radiologist). Being a radiologist, my vision is everything to read x-rays, CTScans, etc. I had to wear glasses all the time prior to procedure. I heard of Dr.Gulani though numerous physicians who had Lasik surgery with him and were very satisfied with their outcomes. Dr. Gulani is an excellent world known ophthalmologist. Staff is excellent. We had excellent treatment.

He performed Advanced Laser Vision Surgery and I can now read x-rays without glasses. Not only that I can read x-rays more clearly. My distant vision has also improved tremendously. As I mentioned, being a radiologist, this procedure has improved my day to day practice. My quality of work has improved a lot. Dr. Gulani is an excellent surgeon.

He is world Reknowned surgeon who teaches other ophthalmologists world wide. I infact brought my physician wife for her Advanced Laser surgery with Dr. Gulani and she too is doing great. 3 Years Later: It has been 3 years since I had my laser surgery and am still seeing 20/20 for distance and reading 20/20 without any glasses. My wife is doing great too. Great experience. Great staff. Great surgeon that you can rely upon.

I would get headaches if leaving my glasses off many length of time. I could no longer read at all without the glasses. Even with glasses if reading many length of time I would get ghost images which was annoying. My experience at GVI has been very good with my Laser Surgery. I enjoy not having to wear glasses all the time, I can exercise without wearing glasses slide off my face and no longer get that I feel Dr. Gulani is a very good teacher and really wants his patients to understand what is going on. I appreciate his intelligence and answering all questions. The staff is very professional and approachable. 

Dr. Becky Olsen

My vision was becoming affected by a growth on the eye. This was a pterygium. Dr. Gulani removed the pterygium and the healing has been amazing. I was asked to see Dr. Gulani by my eye doctor who knew of Dr. Gulani’s world-famous skills. I have been extremely impressed with the thoroughness and professionalism by the entire staff. I believe Dr. Gulani is a leader in his field. Myvision is doing well and I have not had any problems Dr. Gulani is extremely thorough in his explanation of the procedure. I believe Dr. Gulani maintains cutting edge knowledge and I have complete confidence in him. I would highly recommend Dr. Gulani to anyone.

I had 20/200 vision in my right and left eyes, but was able to read easily with both eyes. I am a primary care physician and I did not want to fumble with reading glasses, so I decided to have Advanced Laser vision surgery on my right eye only. About 6 months ago 6 other Physicians and I had advanced Laser vision surgery by Dr Gulani, all on the same day! I now have 20/15 vision in my Right eye. I am completely satisfied and highly recommend Dr. Guliani and his Advanced Laser Vision Surgery.

Dr. Gulani seems to be on the cutting edge of ocular surgery.The surgeries we spoke of were geared equally toward function as they were to esthetics.Through his innovative techniques, he strives to go beyond the “20/ happy” norm and take the patient to their best possible visual outcome.

 When I entered Gulani Vision Institute as a Fellow, little did I know that just a few months later I would have the vision of an artist; the vision that is an essential part to learning the Art of vision surgery.

As with art, at Gulani Vision Institute, I have seen Dr. Gulani create a vision masterpiece for every eye. He instills his own brilliance and his pioneering technique into reshaping the corneal defects of patients who have had an unsuccessful corneal surgery previously. I have seen patients with Lasik complications, corneal scars, and grade 4 keratoconus going home with a vision of 20/20!
At Gulani Vision institute I learned to approach each case through the concepts of a new superspeciality called corneoplastique. I started looking at each cornea as a new challenge. It gave me a holistic approach to LASIK and laser vision surgery.

Dr. Gulani encouraged me to develop individualized protocols for each patient and form my own plan for them. He also insists that we involve the patient’s loved ones and families when applicable by explaining in detail our plan of action and encouraging them to ask questions. It was a treat to witness the intense discussions that Dr. Gulani held with each patient in an honest desire to educate and empower them in their choices. I witnessed how every patient became comfortable as their fears got replaced by confidence.

It is an everyday event at GVI to see patients flying in from all over the world, ophthalmologists calling and emailing for advice, post operative patients hugging their surgeon or in combination surgery (eg. Lens surgery to be followed by Laser surgery in cases of corneal scars with cataracts and irregular astigmatism) cases to see them share the same enthusiasm as Dr. Gulani as they eagerly await to proceed to the next stage.
Amid all this adulance, I have learnt from Dr.Gulani never to lose focus. Dr.Gulani is seriously dedicated to raising the bar in vision with quality care, constantly thinking through each case, tirelessly documenting outcomes and results and sharing his plans and thought process with patients and doctors alike.

In my practice, I recently came across a patient with cataract who showed signs of worsened corneal dystrophy after Laser PRK.   Three months ago, I may not have had any treatment option for her. But now with Laser Corneoplastique, I am in a position to be ready with a goal plan to give her “SUPERvision!”
Dr. Gulani’s  Laser Corneoplastique as an art of refractive surgery takes this aphorism to the next level.  It not only makes beautiful eyes for beautiful people, but beautiful eyes with perfect vision.  It is the art to reshape the past and the art to shape the future. As a member of the next generation of refractive surgeons, I am equipped to address any refractive challenge. I am ready to create my own Masterpiece!

I was near sighted, couldn’t see TV without my glasses or read the signs on the road. I had a hard time with my contact lenses. My eyes used to tear a lot while I was driving and sunlight would bother me. I always used to misplace my glasses and now I’m worry free! My physician husband had Lasik surgery with another doctor and is still wearing glasses. So for me he researched to find the best. I had Lasik surgery with Dr.Gulani and see better than 20/20. My vision is 20/10 Clear as a beautiful sunny day without a cloud in the sky! I think Dr.Gulani is best in the world! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my eyes! His surgical skills are unmatched! You can’t get any better. My hindsight is now 20/10 That Dr. Gulani is the best! I would challenge anyone to come and experience the EXPERT in action!! Your satisfaction guaranteed! Thank you Dr. Gulani for your exemplary professional expert courteous service!

My vision was 20/80 uncorrected.Due to my astigmatism, contact lens wear did not truly correct my vision.Also, contact lens made my eyes dry by mid-afternoon. My Eye doctor and also a Physician friend recommended Dr. Gulani. The office staff and Dr. Gulani were both very professional and kind. Dr. Gulani was great - he sold himself.

Everything at GVI was excellent. I underwent Advanced Lasik surgery and I can see all the signs in the grocery store and roadways.I can even read the newspaper clearly. I will certainly recommend people to come to GVI.

My vision was hindering my ability to participate in sports, outdoor activities etc. Now I can do everything. My father who is a doctor had Advanced Lasik surgery with Dr. Gulani. he suggested I come here too for my high Astigmatism. My experience at Gulani Vision Institute has been Excellent. I trust Dr. Gulani’s ability as a doctor to provide the services and guidance necessary for me to attain the best vision I see great now and feel freedom to do anything without being bothered by bad vision Dr. Gulani’s skill and knowledge level are Excellent

I have suffered from poor vision my entire life.I was seen by an ophthalmologist when I was 2 years old. Over the years I tried a multitude of eye procedures. Many were the pioneer procedures of the time. My life has been affected professionally and personally. My friends beginning about 15 years ago confided in me that so many thought that I was incredibly rude because I would walk right past them without as much as a smile or hello. It was because I couldn’t make out faces even at arms distance. I had Radial Keratotomy (RK) with another surgeon and was left with legal blindness in my eye. Being a Physician’s wife, I heard about Dr. Gulani loosely from another patient, which I promptly dismissed because so many other ophthalmologists, all super specialists had told me they had nothing more to offer me. At Gulani Vision Institute, I have always been treated with the utmost respect. The staff is wonderful. Dr. Gulani was very honest with me. He told me that my case was very complex but he was confident that he could help me but the degree to the amount of improvement could not be determined. Dr. Gulani is extremely confident regarding him abilities. He spends lots of time explaining his course of action. He is very honest ! I had Dr. Gulani’s Advanced Laser surgery over my previous RK surgery. I went from being “way beyond legally blind” to seeing 20/25. Dr. Gulani is very careful to do no harm. As for Dr. Gulani, his skills and bedside manners- Absolutely unmatched ! I was given advice by other super specialists that would have caused me more harm than good. I shall absolutely refer anyone who needs the best.

I have personally witnessed Dr. Gulani’s vision correction surgeries which raise the bar on Lasik itself to an ART. The ability of a surgeon to provide all kinds of Lasik surgery techniques and then also to combine Lasik with cataract surgery and have the capability to correct previous Lasik surgery is seen in my patient exchanges with Dr. Gulani. Their experience with him and then their visual outcomes, many a times beyond the usual 20/20 is impressive to say the least.

I have seen patients where he performed customized INTACS for Keratoconus as well as "No-Stitch" placenta surgery for Golfer's eyes. He has taken cataract surgery into the next century by providing new generation Lens implant options that can correct astigmatism as well as reading vision without glasses. This capacity is further enhanced with his teachings of performing Lasik following cataract surgery to sculpt the cornea for a perfect optical system.

I have referred some of my most demanding patients (Medical personnel, nurses, doctors and professional golfers) and they have come back with vision beyond their expectations and more importantly, an eye opening experience with the knowledge that vision corrective surgery is an ART beyond ' cookie-cutter" surgery for truly optimizing vision for an individualized outcome.

My expertise with advanced contact lens fitting with patients with nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism as well as Bifocal contact lenses sets me apart in my profession.

As an eye doctor with special interest in optics and vision, I understand where Dr. Gulani is going with this. Vision is indeed such a personalized and unique function for every eye and then its relation to the visual system in the brain.

Dr. Gulani is years ahead of his peers in tapping into the vision reserve of every patient for the best possible technique and outcome that they are capable of.

I do believe that a comprehensive vision correction armamentarium is the ‘Highway”

My experience at GVI has been amazing! The pts are so well cared for with excellent surgical outcomes. I have learned that previous Lasik and other refractive procedures with poor outcomes can often be improved with refractive surgery. The office is very professional, inspiring and yet very comfortable. Dr. Gulani does a good job of educating his pts. Dr. Gulani was gracious in accommodating my visit and teaching me. He performs the latest Lasik refractive procedures and it was a priviledge to watch him in action.

I learned a lot from Dr. Gulani who showed compassion towards patient & was always willing to help. He helped me a lot with my article work. He is the best ophthalmologist. He invented a few lasik instruments and treating patients having pterygium and pinguecula with recent advances (amniotic graft). He teaches other eye surgeons too.

My Eye Opening Experience at Gulani Vision Institute As a practicing eye surgeon I have always believed in comprehensive ophthalmic practice. One area of my practice has been cornea .Although I have also been formally trained in LASIK surgery and I have performed it in my patients quite successfully it has mainly been on "normal" patients requiring cosmetic corrections. At Gulani Vision Institute when I observed the wide spectrum of corneal pathologies successfully rehabilitated and that also with minimal invasive procedures I had an eye opening experience. Dr Gulani has coined the term "Corneoplastique" to emphasize the importance of the cornea and rightly so . The point is that it is not necessary that all seemingly bad cases have to undergo a keratoplasty . Now Technically speaking The Surgical advances that I observed at Gulani Vision Institute were -Amniotic membrane transplantation (for recurrent pterygium, conjunctivochalasis ,symblepharon). At a zero percent recurrence rate the technique of Amniotic membrane transplant is definitely a promising one besides being cosmetically pleasing to the patient . Patients with recurrent pterygia are miserable but after the procedure they were very grateful to Dr Gulani -Keratoamnioplasty (for band keratopathy-ocular surface reconstruction) -Lamellar surgeries(Anterior,deep,peripheral,posterior - DSAEK and Epikeratophakia reversal).The DSAEK procedure involving descemets stripping is a very exciting and promising procedure performed at the Gulani Vision Institute -Synthetic Implants - Corneal ring segments for Keratoconus . Intacs surgery is a short procedure which has no major issues like rejection and the central portion of the cornea remains clear -Excimer laser contour surgeries for corneal scars-(LASIK complications/infection) and for previous Refractive Surgeries.Scars treated with the excimer can bring the greatest joy both to the surgeons and the patients . It is nothing short of a miracle. -Excimer and advanced surface ablation for previous RK/HK/AK procedures . I must thank Dr Gulani for allowing me to witness and grasp all the latest advanced procedures that he performs which I believe are the frontier of refractive surgery that all and one should try to achieve . I hope my patients hug me the same way when I promise them these alternatives as the patients I have seen hugging Dr Gulani.

“My patients often ask me why their previous eye doctor never mentioned that they could have these life-altering surgical options.  I, too, often wonder the same thing”. 

It's been quite a relief to find such an exceptional Vision Corrective Specialist of Dr.Gulani’s caliber to care for my patients.  I readily refer my challenging patients -- especially my keratoconic patients -- to Dr. Gulani for his valued opinion and surgical skill.  My keratoconic patients have had their vision-related quality of life improved by his expertise.  

The post-operative management of our mutual patients has been rewarding, and devoid of the patient complaints (and worrisome visits) that typically accompany such challenging patients.  My patients often tell me that they had no idea they had an option for laser vision correction in addition to the treatment of their keratoconus (via Intacs^®, for example). 

Concerned, innovative, competent, thorough and reassuring are how I describe Dr. Arun Gulani.
