Forty years ago at the age of 17 I had an amazing prosthetic lens cover made by Ocularist Robert O. Levy at his office on Larchmont Blvd. It was so good and comfortable that I never got a new one, although it is recommended to “update” every 4 years, rather than 40. However, during the past 2 years my damaged eye started to change and atrophy. My lens cover was no longer comfortable and did not match my other eye anymore. I was very concerned that I would not be able to find an ocularist who would be able to duplicate the work of Bob Levy. (Bob Levy passed away many years ago) However, my Ophthalmologist in Santa Barbara Dr. Stuart Winthrop recommended Stephen Haddad. I went online and looked at his website. I was extremely impressed by the patients and their testimonies, as well as by the videos of before and after. Their eyes were beautiful. They actually looked alive. Then I saw Dr. Haddad’s photo and he looked so nice and friendly. I met with him at the Santa Barbara office and found out that he had actually acquired Bob Levy’s practice on Larchmont Blvd! He arranged for me to come and have my lens done in one day. This was a huge help to me since I live 3 hours away. I had my new eye designed , painted, fitted and polished by the end of the afternoon. The color is amazing! All of the details and the placement of the iris, etc. make me look symmetrical and wonderful. All of my friends and family say the difference if incredible. I am so so grateful to Stephen Haddad, to his staff, and to Beverly, the polishing guru, ( who was already developing her talent while working for Bob Levy when I first entered that office at the age of 17 ) who performed the final touches to ensure that my new eye was smooth and comfortable. It is weird that I sat in the same seat I did 40 years ago and had “caught lightening in a bottle” for the second time. I LOVE Stephen Haddad . He is gentle, caring, meticulous, and a true artist. Thank you for making me feel whole again!
