Resource Center Patient PortalCataract specialists have a deep understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the eye, particularly related to cataracts and other conditions affecting the lens. They are skilled in evaluating patients with cataracts through comprehensive eye examinations and advanced diagnostic tools to determine the severity of the cataract and any associated vision problems.
Blurred or cloudy vision caused by cataracts can limit an individual’s activities, strain social interactions, and pose safety risks. Dr. David DeRose, our cataract specialist, is proud to bring a better quality of life to patients in Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, and surrounding areas. If you’ve been referred to Lehigh Eye Specialists for treatment of cataracts, Dr. DeRose and his team will evaluate and determine the best treatment plan for your vision goals.

Had cataract surgery yesterday and follow up today. Lehigh Eye specialty is the best. Staff is incredible. Wait times are low and the doctors are the best. Dr. DeRose and Dr. Kazahaya are the best. They take time with your exam and explain all details. I had a retina repair done last August that was successful and my follow ups with Dr. Kaz are easy. He doesn't rush and very thorough. I give them 5 stars. Plenty of parking and all Covid measures are practiced.

Unfortunately I have had many visits to LV Eye Specialists. Each time they were able to prioritize my treatment and correct the issue. I cannot give enough praise to all of the doctors and surgeons.

I am so thankful today for this practice! My daughter was at a routine eye exam and the optometrist saw something suspicious on her X ray of eye. A hole in retina! The optometrist got her right in to Lehigh Eye Specialists. They accommodated to see my daughter same day. And thank God we are blessed with nothing major right now. The staff and doctors are amazing!

Dr. Kazahaya is a great ophthalmologist! He has great "bedside manners" and takes time out to explain your condition and what the imaging results show. Very jovial and friendly disposition. I have been to many ophthalmologists over the years and he is one of the best. He very patient and always has a smile on his face. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs an ophthalmologist.
--H. L.
Had two cataracts removed and lenses implanted by Dr. David DeRose. Great personal contact and communication by all. Vision started clearing in both eyes within hours. Clarity and focal distance exactly as described by Dr. DeRose. Excellent experience at both offices. Well done!
--Keith Y.
I went in for an appointment with my father in law and we were super impressed with the staff and Dr. DeRose. I have no doubt my FIL is in the best of hands! I would definitely recommend this office for their passion about patient health and education!

Dr. Kazahaya saved my sight. My retina detached and he operated on me Christmas Eve. In addition I had holes in both my retinas which he did laser surgery on. He also operated on my vitreous to take the tension off of my retina. Thank you Dr. Kazahaya. You are God’s angel on earth.
