We went into the ER for my fiance, who had an inflamed right eye that was not getting better. It was a decent amount of wait time, but the nurses and physician's were great when she was seen. That was hands down the best experience we have ever had in an ER. All of the staff were competent with a wonderful bedside manor. The wait could be improved, but it's very possible that was because of the time they dedicate to each patient.

This place gives me vertigo everytime i go here for an appointment. The windows are all glass and the dept i go to is on the 12th floor. I am literally terrified of heights. It would be nice if they could make a dept closer to the ground. The wait time here is awful. 3 and a half hours.

Why schedule me for 11:15 if you can't see me at that time. Every other time I've been here earlier I've been seen right away. People have lives.

Questions & Answers

As an 80 year old, very healthy female, who has had a lazy eye since birth, is there any new technology available that could help with either straightening the eye or even improve its vision?

elisabeth berkley | Oct 17, 2018
Carol | Oct 17, 2018

Elisabeth, if anyone has it, Wills Eye Hospital does! They do procedures there, for years, that doctors where we live, are saying are experimental. And they've been doing these procedures for a decade. Call them!!!! Highly recommended.

My experience so far with Wills Eye has been at the doctors and the people like the nurses of great people but management is overworking them all. And make mistakes which is dangerous when it comes to medicine and treatment. For temporary disability I was continuously informing them I needed them to do their part and for over a month I did not get a single sent from the state of New Jersey. It wasn't until a nurse from Thomas Jefferson Kennedy Hospital in Sewell New Jersey help me by contacting them at their manager at Wills I finally took care of it and while I was on the phone with him I informed him that permanent disability needed my medical records and that Wills I was the only one that had not sent them to the state of New Jersey. Then I took several weeks of the same kind of headaches just to have them send my medical records to the state of New Jersey.

Lots of warm compresses, as hot as you can tolerate for at least 10 minutes, scrub the lids with baby shampoo twice daily, and artificial tears. If that doesn't help, see a doctor.
