Second Opinion

As a leader in cornea, cataracts, and refractive surgery in Colorado, Dr. Cutarelli frequently sees patients that are looking for a second opinion on their diagnoses or to evaluate their outcomes after eye surgery.

Expert Second Opinion Evaluations

If you think you’ve been diagnosed incorrectly with an eye disease or need confirmation about your candidacy for an eye surgery procedure, we invite you to contact Cutarelli Vision. We welcome you to come in for an evaluation of your vision with one of the most experienced eye surgeons in North America.

When it comes to eye exams, patients may need to get a second opinion in order to get a correct and thorough diagnosis and treatment plan. There are two reasons why patients sometimes go to another eye doctor for a second opinion; one is the broad range of issues relating to the eyes and the other doctor’s diagnosis.

A Few Considerations for Second Opinions

The eyes and general health conditions of each individual are different and unique, and there are times when even a highly trained specialist cannot improve a person’s vision.
If you are not satisfied with your physician’s response to your concerns or questions about your vision, consider getting a second opinion.
Sometimes a different doctor can offer a new perspective or explanation about a particular situation or course of treatment.

Other Possible Reasons to Seek a Second Opinion:

Do you notice a flaring distortion around light sources?
Do you have to squint in order to read?
Are you sensitive to light?
Does your eye itch frequently?
Do contact lenses sometimes fall out of your eyes?
Do you see ‘ghost’ images, i.e. multiple images of something spread in a random pattern?
Have you experienced sudden flashes and floaters?

What Our Patients Say

Cecil 104.3

I’ve worn contacts and/or glasses since I was 9 years old and I hated them. The hassle of contacts was annoying and I seemed to break my glasses whenever I’d play a pickup game of basketball.

From my consultation to the day of my surgery, and every follow up appointment, each step has been so straightforward and I am blown away with the results. I can know read signs from a distance when I drive. LASIK is the best thing I could have done for myself and my career.

I traveled from Detroit to have LASIK surgery with Dr. Cutarelli. It was the best thing that I have done for myself! My vision is fantastic and I recommend him fully.
Tanya Knight, Pharmacist
I would like to extend my appreciation to Dr. Cutarelli and his staff for their excellence in customer service and care in perfecting my vision. As a former NFL Chicago Bear and Buffalo Bill I would have given anything to have had LASIK surgery and improved vision when I was playing. I love not having to wear glasses anymore!!
Leonard Walterscheid, Former NFL Player
Everyone at the office was so helpful. We were afraid John's eyes were beyond help. After seeing the Drs. we were blown away that everyone treated John as if he was the only patient in the office. Everything was explained. All our questions were answered. They took so much time explaining our options completely. Special thanks to Betty, she was just amazing pushing the insurance through. She is very patient, kind, as if John were her own family. We came in a patient and left feeling we are part of a family. The knowledge and expertise blew us away. We can't say thank you enough for giving John his sight back.
Betty
Cutarelli was a GREAT choice for my procedure! Everyone on the staff, from pre-op, financing, surgery, and post-op care were fantastic! They were able to get me seeing 20/20 despite a very poor prescription and strong astigmatism. Thank you!
Mitchell M.
I'm very happy with the results. My vision is back + I don't need my glasses to see out of this eye. Looking forward to getting the other eye done + getting back to not having glasses.
Richard A.
Staff and doctors are great and knowledgeable and strive to use "real" understandable English to answer any and all questions. All staff members are friendly and strive for patient happiness. Excellent and professional in every way.
Ronald R.
I am very pleased with the results of my Monovision surgery. Great staff. Very professional with excellent follow-up program. Thanks!
Dan J.
Dr Cutarelli and everyone in that office are just the nicest, most educated people I’ve known in their profession. They are all just awesome. The two DESEK surgeries I had at Harvard Park went more smoothly than I ever imagined! And again, the staff was just awesome. I would recommend Cutarelli Vision to anyone for any type of optical procedure. They are number one in my book!!!
Rick Martinez
I'm a doctor, so finding a doctor I could trust with my vision was important. Dr. Cutarelli's credentials were impressive! Now, thanks to Dr. C, my vision after LASIK is amazing." "Prior to LASIK, I had to wear contact lenses or glasses and it was difficult to perform in the sports I enjoy like skiing and scuba diving. After having LASIK surgery at Cutarelli Vison, I have recommended them to many of my own colleagues, and they have also been very impressed.
Rick Lopez, MD
When I was diagnosed with a cataract in my left eye, I was referred to Dr. Cutarelli. From the start, he and his staff were attentive, capable, and efficient. I was able to experience dropless cataract surgery - one of the latest advancements in cataract removal. My surgery went quickly and smoothly - and on day one my eye was clear and corrected to 20/20 vision!

I was VERY against doing Lasik surgery and I was very nervous about my wife doing the surgery. I told my wife that I would never do it! But after going with her to all of her appointments and the surgery appointment and then seeing how well her lasik turned out, I changed my mind. I was so impressed with Dr. Cutarelli and his team. They are very professional and caring and answered all of my questions over and over again. I am so glad I don't have to wear glasses any more.

This is something I've wanted to do for myself for 20 years! Within the first 4 hours post-op, I was already seeing clearly! This is the greatest thing I've ever done for myself! I recommend it to anyone who is tired of dealing with glasses and contacts like I was. It really is a life changing experience! When my kids asked me the next morning if I could see, all I could do was cry. Happiness is an understatement.
Jolene S.
I am thrilled to have LASIK surgery. The best part is being able to wake up and go to the gym without fighting to put in contacts. I truly live by the phrase I heard from a dear friend that the only thing I regret about LASIK surgery is not doing it sooner.
Melissa C.
Best decision I ever made! Dr. Cutarelli and his staff were so kind and professional throughout the entire process. I wish I hadn't waited so long!
Nicholas G.
I am so happy I finally got LASIK! The procedure was so fast and the staff and doctors were friendly. I wish I did this years ago.
Lauren K.
I have worn glasses and contacts since I was 9 years old. From the front desk to the surgeon, the staff are all professional, friendly and welcoming. All fears and questions were answered. The procedure was the easiest and quickest procedure ever! Dr. Cutarelli made me feel comfortable and talked me through the procedure so I would feel calm during the surgery. Almost a year later, I am 20/15 and love being able to see!
Jessica K.
After looking up a couple different LASIK eye places, I found Cutarelli Vision to be the most convenient. I was able to make my consultation without any hassle. They let me choose the date and payment options without any pressure. Dr. Cutarelli was extremely good during surgery and made me feel very comfortable. I would recommend anyone who is interested to Cutarelli Vision.
Lanee S.
I had Dr. Cutarelli do LASIK on my eyes. Love the outcome! I would advise everybody to have it done. This is the best thing for me. Also, love the staff at Cutarelli Vision. They are so awesome!
Jessica G.
I love being able to see without cheaters! I always had to search for them. I had about 15 pairs around, but was always searching. Now, I no longer have to worry about them!
Mary H
I don't know why I waited so long. Everyone should come see Paul Cutarelli if you're thinking about LASIK. Make an appointment! The team at Cutarelli is amazing. Best decision I've ever made.
Glenda H.
Dr. Cutarelli's staff was incredibly helpful and able to answer all my questions before and after the procedure. Would definitely recommend them.
Ryan A.
Dr. Cutarelli and his staff were great. The procedure was quick and easy and I can now see without looking for my glasses!
Stephen S.
Coming into my procedure, I was afraid and had no real idea of what I I was getting myself into. Dr. Cutarelli and the other doctor and staff were able to calm my nerves and explain everything to me in layman's terms. Now, I am able to see 20/50 only 11 days after my corneal transplant for Keratoconus in the Denver Tech Center location. I am so extremely grateful for everything they have done for me.
