Cataract Surgery
Our cataract surgery specialists use advanced laser technology to remove clouded lenses and implant premium intraocular lenses. Patients typically experience improved vision within 24 hours post-surgery. The procedure also addresses co-existing conditions like astigmatism.

Custom LASIK procedures correct refractive errors using wavefront-guided technology for personalized vision enhancement. Most patients achieve 20/20 vision or better without glasses or contact lenses after this outpatient procedure.

We offer comprehensive glaucoma management including early detection through optic nerve imaging and pressure testing. Treatment options range from medicated eye drops to advanced laser therapies and microsurgery.

Our specialists diagnose and treat chronic dry eye using advanced testing methods and personalized treatment plans. Options include prescription medications, punctal plugs, and IPL therapy for long-term relief.

My experience with Dr. Maki was fine, unfortunately her surgical coordinator has no follow through. To be told 1 day prior to scheduled surgery that they do not have what is needed from the optometrists is absolutely uncalled-for as they had the report from the optometrist 2 weeks prior. Now that surgery is rescheduled for a month later, I left 4 different voicemails for the surgical coordinator to ensure that they had what was needed so as not to be told again the day before surgery it may be cancelled. No return calls until the day before surgery...turns out I was to have 3 different eye drops

I would like to thank Dr.Brems and the office staff at Arizona Eye Specialist for removing my cataracts and restoring my vision! My left eye was 20-50, and my right was 20-40. They just completed my right eye; it was blurry at first, but after a couple of days, the right eye is clear enough to not wear my glasses. I can't wait until they fix the left eye in another 2 weeks. I should be able to throw my glasses away. Everyone is very friendly and efficient. I recommend them highly.

Dr. Brem was great with my in-person appointments but his follow-up and follow through is why I'm only giving 2 stars. I've called with important medical related questions; 4 times for 4 consecutive weeks, I received 1 response from his team but since they could not provide answers they promised to get back in touch with me. Weeks later and multiple messages to Arizona Eye Specialist, I have yet to hear back from him or his team. If you're a patient that likes to easily connect with your Doctor, I would certainly not suggest him. Needless to say, do NOT a leave a message on their
