I would very highly recommend Dr. Lyon to anyone in need of retinal care. My case has been a highly complex one and she has continually demonstrated an exceptional level of expertise, dedication to understanding all factors involved, following a treatment strategy that would minimize risk, and making the surgery as successful and comfortable for me as possible. This was a multi-faceted, 6 hour operation involving under anesthesia eye exam, vitrectomy, epiretinal peeling, scleral buckle placement, and laser surgery. Yet, despite this, I experienced no eye pain after the surgery, and did not require a gas bubble as she managed to accomplish everything without introducing any complications. My recovery trajectory has been very positive and her follow-up has been diligent. Based upon my own experience and that of a colleague who had a different retinal surgery performed by Dr. Lyon, I believe it is merited to consider her one of the world's leading retinal care providers, and with that, the NW Medical retinal practice.

Dr. Lyon did an extraordinary job performing a complex surgery involving multiple procedures that were needed to address what has been a daunting loss of sight that would have continued. Despite the extensive nature of the operation, and in contrast to what is typically reported in the literature, I experienced absolutely zero post operative eye pain; she managed to avoid requiring a gas bubble that would have made the recovery process far less comfortable; she also accomplished the scleral buckle placement without cutting externally to my (petite) eye; and I appear to be on a very positive post-operative trajectory. Based upon my own experience, the experience of a colleague who had a different procedure performed by Dr. Lyon, and some comparative exposure to other practices, I would highly recommend Dr. Lyon for care. Further, I believe it would be merited for Dr. Lyon's Retinal Services to be ranked as a top practice in the nation.

Over the past 60 years I have received treatment from several expert ophthalmologists in England, Boston and Chicago. I feared I was going blind, but with Dr. Lyon's help, I now have pretty good vision. She is the best.
