Irwin Azman's Online Review Report Card

Great doctor. Takes time and cares at a very personal level.

I have been seeing Dr. Azman for 30 plus years. A big chain optometrist told me long ago that I was not a candidate for contact lenses due to astigmatism. Dr. Azman fit me with rigid gas permeable lenses and I've been a happy patient for all these years. At age 55, I now wear a dual purpose lens for both near and far vision. Each side of the lens is ground to my prescription. One side for near vision and the other for far. Each lens came from a different manufacturer, since my prescription is so difficult to make. Dr. Azman knew how to get the lenses I needed and they have worked for me very well. The staff has always been polite, respectful and competent. These services are not cheap, but you cannot expect to get first class specialized service that no one else can offer for little cost. If you are a tough case, the go see Dr. Azman and see if he can help.

Dr. Irwin Azman ordered extensive eye testing on me and was able to determine the cause of my eye problem. he has helped me correct it. I am very grateful for his knowledge and expertise. Thank you, Dr. Irwin Azman. I am no longer rubbing my eyes and can see more clearly.

When I met DR Azman about 10 years ago I suffered with dry eyes and was told I could NEVER wear contact lenses. Not only did he correct the dry eyes but I can now enjoy water sports with contact..Thank DR.Azman

When I moved to MD fifteen years ago, a friend recommended Dr. Azman. His staff is excellent, friendly, and helpful. The extensive diagnostic testing is thorough to insure the health of my eyes and to provide the best contact lens. I appreciate Dr. Azman's knowledge and comprehensive care.

I have been wearing contact lens for 55 years. When I moved from out-of-state to Maryland, I needed to find a new contact lens specialist. I found Dr. Azman using a Google search. I was surprised to get a phone call asking me questions before getting an appointment. It turns out Dr. Azman specializes in problem cases. As I described my increasing discomfort and dry eyes, he said he could help. I never had the tests he did for tear layer, the topography of cornea, etc. I discovered my contacts were not fitting properly causing an abrasion on both eyes. After two weeks of no contacts, the abrasion was healed. I was surprised when he suggested soft contacts. My previous doctor thought I couldn't wear them after years with hard and then gas permeable lens. Switching to the soft lens was no problem. It took some adjusting of different strengths of the lens to get the correction for reading and computer work, but now I am very happy with the results. I could not drive at night with contacts because of the extreme glare. That is gone. My eyes were very sensitive to light so I needed sunglasses all the time. That is gone.

I have advanced Kerataconus requiring special contacts which can be very difficult to fit. Dr. Irwin is without a doubt the most knowledgeable doctor I have seen in the 37 years I have had KC. When fitting me with contacts, the process cannot be rushed and Dr. Irwin did not rush, even though I had flown in from outside of the U.S. and only had 10 days to get things right. His staff was A+ and the whole experience was far above my experience with other nationally known U.S. doctors who treat KC. If I was a regular patient without any unusual complications I would probably find a practitioner who accepts insurance or is less expensive. But my case is complicated and complicated is what this practice does best. While expensive, long term I have no doubt that Dr. Irwin has saved me money and given me many more years of comfortable vision, the latter being something other doctor's were not able to do.

Our daughter has been wearing glasses since she was 4 years old. Her vision has become more and more nearsighted over the last several years. When she tried contact lenses for the first time this year, she was amazed at how much clearer her vision became. She was so excited about her vision that she cried! Thank you, Dr. Azman, for helping our daughter see the world SO MUCH clearer.

For over 26 years my entire family has been in the awesome care of Dr. Irwin and Dr. Thomas Azman. From youth exams through elder care and diabetic eyecare issues, they are fully able to tackle all optical issues that they encounter. Bottom line, Azman Eyecare is the best!

"Dr. Azman and his staff at Azman Eye Care have been like family to me for the past 27 years.
