Why San Gabriel Valley Residents Trust MSH Vision

The San Gabriel Valley is home to professionals, families, and retirees who value integrity and results over hype. Patients here often come to us after researching every option—or being referred by other physicians.

What draws them to MSH Vision:

  • A reputation built on outcomes, not advertising
  • 27 years of consistent innovation and clinical excellence
  • Personalized care that respects each patient’s goals
  • The full spectrum of procedures under one roof: LASIK, EVO ICL, RLE, cataract, and corneal surgery
  • Transparent education and no-pressure consultations
  • Convenient Pasadena location serving the greater Valley

Our patients appreciate that we don’t “sell” procedures; we explain them. Every treatment plan begins with clarity, honesty, and data-driven precision.

Comprehensive Vision Correction for Every Age

At MSH Vision, we know that your visual needs change over time. That’s why we offer age-based, lifestyle-tailored solutions that address everything from refractive errors to lens replacement.

Popular treatments among our San Gabriel Valley patients include:

  • LASIK and PRK: reshaping the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism for clear, crisp vision.
  • EVO ICL: a lens implant that corrects moderate to severe myopia without altering the cornea, ideal for younger adults.
  • Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE): replaces the eye’s natural lens to restore focus at all distances and prevent cataracts.
  • Laser Cataract Surgery: uses femtosecond laser technology for unmatched precision and outcomes.
  • Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL): strengthens the cornea for patients with keratoconus or early structural changes.
  • Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) – advanced pressure-lowering procedures that preserve long-term eye health.

Whether you’re a student at Caltech, a professional in downtown Pasadena, or a retiree enjoying the foothills, we have a solution tailored to your lifestyle.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Hura. From start to finish, he went way above and beyond. I needed my cataract surgery done before an upcoming trip, and he went out of his way to accommodate my schedule and make it happen. That alone meant so much to me. What really sets him apart, though, is how genuinely kind and communicative he is. I was pretty nervous, and Dr. Hura personally called me the day before the procedure and again after to check in, explain everything, and make sure I was okay. That level of care is rare and made a huge difference for me. He is incredibly patient, compassionate, and clearly best-in-class at what he does. I felt completely taken care of every step of the way and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. If you’re looking for an eye surgeon you can truly trust, I would recommend Dr. Hura to anyone without hesitation.

Dr Shamie is awesome! She is so dedicated and her personal follow-up to check on you after the surgery is impressive. I had cataract surgery with the multi focal lens replacement and the results are amazing. I can’t believe that I not only see distance, but can read fine print without reading glasses. It is life changing. I highly recommend Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute.

Wow what a great experience I had with Dr Shamie. I came in for the initial consultation and she gave me my several options to fix my vision. After a thorough conversation and testing I elected to do the Evo ICL option. We were able to schedule a convenient time for me right away. The surgery went amazing and the next day I had 20/15 vision. Thank you soooo much for changing my life for the better.

Initially I was nervous about LASIK, because I only have one set of eyes and I didn't know how risky it was. But I'd wondered about it for a long time, so I asked ChatGPT where famous people go to do their LASIK. I figured if a person can afford to go anywhere, where would they go?

I found that many go to Maloney-Shamie-Hura, which gave me a sense of trust. And, wonderfully, I found the price of LASIK here is not much different than other places.

I'm super glad I chose here. The experience was great overall. The staff were so kind to me and Dr. Hura corrected my vision to better than I've ever had. I see better now than I did with glasses. The recovery process was really smooth.

I had LASIK done by Dr. Shamie and I cannot stress enough how amazing her, and everyone's care was at Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute. I was an ideal candidate for LASIK and unfortunately during the procedure it became apparent to Dr. Shamie that I had a somewhat rare condition called EBMD. There was no testing anyone could have done to know this in advance, but it meant that my recovery was going to take much longer.

Through it all the team at MSHVI was unbelievably kind and attentive. They were extremely accommodating with extra appointments to address any concerns I had, and despite it all, I still ended up with 20/15 vision in each eye!

I have said this before and I'll say it again — even if I had known about EBMD beforehand, I still would have gone through with the procedure as long as I knew Dr. Shamie and her team were the ones caring for me. This is the only facility in Los Angeles I ever tell people to go to.

I cannot state how patient, professional, and calming Dr. Shamie is. I did a LASIK procedure with her, and as someone with a phobia for anything touching my eyes, Dr. Shamie was extremely patient and cooperative with me while doing the procedure. I cannot recommend her enough for anyone looking to do LASIK.

Best decision I've made! I did same day 'fast track' LASIK. Dr. Shamie was nothing short of incredible. I felt so safe and cared for — can't believe it. Should have done this 10 years ago. If you're on the fence — DO IT!

Where do I even start? I'm a U.S. Marine and have been stuck wearing contacts for about 10 years. Glasses never worked for me, and in the field I'd constantly deal with eye infections because of unhygienic conditions. It wasn't sustainable for my health or my wallet.

Dr. Hura performed my LASIK and the results have been nothing short of life-altering. The entire team was professional, thorough, and genuinely cared about my outcome. I could not be more grateful.

—Ryan H.

Phenomenal. Dr. Hura really took care to ensure I wasn't a LASIK horror story. He checked my eyes and let me know I wouldn't be able to have the procedure right away due to dry eyes. Over the next three months he sent me home twice due to dry eyes — but also provided special eye drops and a treatment plan each time. The day he cleared me, surgery was perfect and my vision is now better than it ever was with glasses or contacts.

It's been 1 year and 3 weeks since I had LASIK by Dr. Hura and my vision is PERFECT. I moved to Europe shortly after the 3-month mark and had my eyes examined again — the optometrist had nothing but great things to say. My vision remains exactly as it was post-surgery.

For the first time in my life, I can see myself — bare, with no glasses or contacts, just me.

I recently had my EVO ICL surgery with Dr. Shamie, and I genuinely couldn't be happier with the entire experience. From my first consultation to surgery day and follow-ups, Dr. Shamie and the entire team were exceptional. They were patient, thorough, and made me feel completely at ease every step of the way.

Dr. Shamie took the time to explain everything so clearly and patiently, answering every question I had. By day two, I had 20/20 vision.

I always knew my own face with glasses on, and contacts always felt like an extra layer. For the first time in my life, I can see myself for what I am — bare, with no glasses or contacts, just me. Dr. Shamie gave me a new sense of clarity that I will forever be grateful for.

I recently had ICL surgery performed by Dr. Hura at the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. For years — since middle school — I have been dependent on prescription glasses, and the daily habit of needing them felt permanent. Just one week after my procedure, I can see clearly without any correction. The entire team was professional, kind, and made every step of the process easy.

Dr. Shamie and everyone at this office are just fantastic. I felt so comfortable and heard from my first appointment, and Dr. Shamie even got to the bottom of an eye issue I'd been facing that many other doctors weren't able to identify. I came to her for ICL and we eased into it to make sure all my other eye issues were addressed, and her thoughtfulness during that process made me feel so safe going into the ICL procedure. Can't recommend this office and Dr. Shamie enough!

—Saba B.

Very happy with how my ICL surgery turned out with Dr. Hura. Wonderful bedside manner before, during, and post surgery! Can now see beyond 20/20 — which feels like a dream considering I've been wearing glasses and contacts for over 30 years. My eyes are still adjusting and healing, but all as expected. Highly recommend Dr. Hura.

Dr. Shamie performed my EVO ICL procedure about 3 weeks ago, and it was without a doubt the most positive medical experience I've ever had. From the first consultation, all staff and medical professionals were welcoming, clear, knowledgeable, and so supportive. I was able to meet directly with Dr. Shamie, who took the time to thoroughly answer all my questions and make me feel completely confident in my decision.

Having ICL surgery has been the most liberating experience in my life. Dr. Hura is an excellent surgeon. I had my very high myopia corrected to 20/15 vision. I went into the consultation for LASIK or PRK but Dr. Hura explained that the best way forward — for longevity of improved vision and minimal risk — was ICL. He was right. I am so grateful.
