I've been going to Spector eye care for the last several years. Dr. Schantz, my Dr. at Spector has been great , thorough , attentive and totally professional. Ho hum visits, just the way I like them. Change glasses and contact lens prescriptions periodically, in and out of office with nothing much to think or worry about. Several weeks back she told me I needed to have a cataract taken out and steered me to Dr. Spector.
Well eyes being my second favorite body part, I was petrified to consider an eye surgery. Simply put Dr. Spector is amazing ( that coming from a perpetual cynic). Not only was he patient explaining my need for treatment , he gave me several alternatives. Laser surgery being the one I opted for. Surgery was not only painless, he was thorough, professional and just plain great. My follow up the next day solidified in my mind that he really cares about his patients and their well being. Hoping anyone reading this does NOT need eye surgery but if you should, I highly recommend Dr. Spector for surgery and any of his colleagues for basic eye care. Richard B.

I have to settle for an optometrist instead of being cared for by Dr Spector, who is an ophthalmologist.

Dr. Spector just did cataract surgery on both my eyes. Words can not explain how wonderful and compassionate this doctor is. He explained and gave me every aspect of what I could expect during this procedure and my after care. The best eye doctor I've gone to. A shout out to his staff as well. What a team they are. They are the best!!

What a difference it's made! Dr. Spector just did my cataract surgery for both eyes with the Pan Optix lens and the results have exceeded my expectations. After each procedure, I could drive myself by the next morning, and the only eyeglasses I need to wear now are non-prescription sunglasses! My gratitude to Dr. Spector and his team of wonderful and caring professionals.

The nicest eye doctor experience I have ever had! And I've been wearing glasses for 27 years. Everyone was so pleasant and I was in and out quick with a thorough exam. Highly highly recommend.

I couldn’t read traffic signs nor drive at night. Dr. Spector and team restored my eyesight through cataract removal and implant of the best lenses available. After nearly 50 years I have 20/20 visón and am free of all eye glasses. Thank you! You are amazing!

I just had cataract surgery done by Dr. Spector in both eyes. He was wonderful throughout the whole process. He explained everything to me beforehand and told me exactly what to expect. Everyone in the office at Spector Eye Care is wonderful and caring and I would highly recommend their services. I now have 20 25 Vision in both eyes and only need eyeglasses for reading. Thank you Dr Spector for your excellent care.

I've just had cataract surgery performed by Dr. Spector, including the replacement of my lenses and the correction of my astigmatism.In our initial consultation, Dr. Spector took the time to thoroughly explain the various lens options available, their relative benefits, and the cost of each. In my case and for purely personal reasons, I chose not to go "all in" for both distance and near vision, opting for the correction of distance/middle range vision and using standard reading glasses for up-close reading. Dr. Spector clearly set my expectations of what to expect from my decision, and he has delivered on those expectations in every way.I am thoroughly delighted with the results and have nothing but praise for Dr. Spector - his manner, professional skill, and the treatment I've received from his office staff from the first time I walked into the office.If you have been putting off cataract surgery because of anxiety, you owe it to yourself to visit Dr. Spector and allow him to put your concerns to rest. When it's done you'll wonder why you waited so long and I'm confident you'll be delighted with your new, clear vision.

Below is my positive referral for Dr. Spector: Not all ophthalmologists are created equal. While most experienced surgeons will give you a good result, some are better than others. One never knows if your eye will have some problems that are not typical and Dr. Spector uses the femto-second laser which, I think, is a superior tool to the hand-held scalpel, especially in problematic cases. He has had decades of experience using lasers. I paid extra and got the Pan-Optic tri-focal lens installed and I am very happy with my current vision, which if not 20/20 is pretty close to that. I do not use glasses for either reading or driving. The lens does give me a a bit of a halo around bright lights at night but I find it otherwise acceptable. If you are very particular about your eyesight and are willing to wear glasses, you could go for the cheaper lens. Since Dr. Spector also does Lasik, if the cheaper lens has any issues for you, he can also use lasik on the cornea later to improve visibility. There is also a new Light-Adjustable Lens which is much more expensive and will need multiple post-operative visits to fine tune. I think that I do not need this level of perfection, but everyone is different. My cataracts had gradually dulled my color perception, especially to blue light. The vividness of color after surgery was striking. I got my right eye implanted in September 2022 and my left eye shortly thereafter. I can think of no better time than to get your surgery done in the fall in New England when the foliage is brilliant and the sky is bright blue. I strongly recommend Dr. Spector and wish you the best of luck in your surgery.

For as long as I could remember, my eyes were constantly very irritated with what felt like fine dust or gravel in both, which blurred my vision, and was painful.After being diagnosed about a decade ago while living in FL by my Optometrist, I have dry eyes.His prognosis was over-the-counter (OTC) eye drops. Each time I had a follow-up I advised no change, and he would then recommend another and another (OTC), meanwhile my vision was getting blurred and so much discomfort with the awful feeling of gravel scraping them.My Optometrist then referred me to an Ophthalmologist and after testing, he confirmed I have dry eyes; and more OTC eye drops, this time REFRESH. It helped for a minute. I was throwing away $$ with those OTCs, and none helped long term. The irritation, the dust feeling, the blurred vision, so much discomfort.After relocating to Ct and asking folks at work about their Ophthalmologist, a former colleague told me she has been going to Dr. Spector for decades and would not change him, ever.For the last 18 months under the care of Dr. Spector, I can honestly declare there has been a huge change in my vision! After examining my eyes and knowing my history, Dr. Spector prescribed RESTASIS. The first prescription eye drops ever offered to me, and they took care of my issues after several uses.Dr. Spector's bedside manners are what we all look for in doctors and appreciate. I find his staff very courteous, especially his ophthalmic technician/assistant they are always very friendly easy to talk to, and caring.Dr. Spector is very compassionate and concerned about my issues. He listens carefully, asks questions, and we have a true conversation during my visits. After all these years of discomfort, and painful eyes, I am free from the ‘gravel’Thank you Dr. Spector, for your care.

After searching for 2 years to find an Ophthalmologist to remove cataracts in both of my eyes, a co-worker suggested that I contact Dr. Spector at Spector Eye Care in Norwalk, CT. The entire staff at Spector Eye Care and New Vision Cataract Center were professional, caring, and friendly. Dr. Spector clearly explained the different types of lenses available and showed a diagram of the procedure. He also explained that the procedure would be painless and that I would be happy with the results. I decided on the PanOptix lenses and I highly recommend using laser. I’m very pleased with the PanOptix lenses and the results of my eye surgery.
