Vision Correction and Eye Surgery in the South Bay

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.

Every aspect of this experience, from the initial comprehensive eye exam to the cataract surgery to the after-care examination, was handled with sensitivity, great care, and utmost professionalism.

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.

Dr. Hura really took the time to make sure LASIK was the right decision for me. I appreciated his patience and carefulness. The procedure was quick and painless. The entire staff were extremely kind and friendly.

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.

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.

Had LASIK at Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute, and it was the best decision ever! The team made me feel completely comfortable, the procedure was quick and smooth, and the results are life-changing. They aren't the cheapest, but 100% worth every penny. Highly recommend!

Dr. Hura did such an amazing job and was so great to work with. He answered all of my questions, was super supportive, and I've been loving the results of my LASIK! I'd call this experience quite a luxury — but I haven't shut up about it!

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!

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.

This was an excellent experience from beginning to end. The office is very organized, the staff are friendly and professional and Dr Shamie is what every doctor should be. Could not be happier with the whole process.

Dr. Shamie and her staff were fantastic. From the first appt in January, 2026, which was very complete in 2.5 hrs. My surgery was 2 weeks later and it was GREAT! They took me in the laser room and removed my astigmatism and then in the surgery they put in a tauric lense. The result the next day, I could read the smallest line on the eye chart! I no longer need glasses. I am thrilled

Dr. Shamie and the excellent team behind her may not be magicians but it sure seems like it. One day your eyesight is off and the next day ( we'll maybe next couple of weeks) it's brilliant! Had the best Optometrist, Dr. Woo, who ushered through the adjustments with skill and great care.
Can't give them higher marks than this.

My care was amazing. Dr Shamie is the best. Plus all staff is kind & efficient. Office demeanor is above any medical office I have visited. Thank you Dr Shamie for my eye sight. Come to The Magic Castle anytime.

I have needed vision correction since grade school and am a lifelong mono vision contact lens wearer. When I was informed by my optometrist that I needed to move forward with cataract surgery in both eyes, I was quite nervous about potential surgical problems or a vision result that would have me back in glasses or contacts post-surgery. After careful research, I settled on Dr. Neda Shamie to perform the surgeries. She and her team provided great pre-operative counseling and thoroughly prepared me for the surgery process itself and the post-operative care routine. The surgeries and recovery period both went as expected and were a positive experience. I can say without reservation that I now see better in both eyes than I did with the best correction I could achieve pre-surgery with contacts, and I do not even need to use reading glasses now with books or at the computer. She is a physician who is available to patiently address your concerns, truly cares about you as a person, and aims to provide her patients with the best possible results.

Loved the visits and warm visits and feeling comfortable to ask questions. Constant communication via text and phone calls were needed reminders when days are filled with so much to do. When going to do the procedure, the surgery location was great and all personnel were also reassuring. Meeting Dr. Hura for both surgergies was also comforting. Now after all the waiting...... So amazed to know that I can see colors and appreciate all there is to see. Thank you very much!

I had surgery on two very dense cataracts performed by Dr. Hura last November and cannot recommend Dr. Hura or the entire office staff more highly. From my initial examination through all final testing, scheduling and payment arrangements everyone I dealt with was kind, supportive, efficient and helpful. While I had been dreading the whole process they could not have made it easier. The surgery itself was painless and very effective returning my eyes to 20/20 vision and allowing me to see things I hadn't seem in years. If you need serious eye care I could not recommend a better place to go.

I'm very grateful to Dr. Arjan Hura and the entire team for their professionalism and care. The surgery went perfectly, and the results exceeded my expectations. Thanks to them, I can now see the world much clearer and better than before. I'm truly happy that I trusted my eyes to such skilled professionals.

I recently had PRK Surgery performed by Dr. Hura and let me just say my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner! The staff was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring throughout the process. They took the time to explain every step and answered all of my questions. They even called me at home after my surgery just to check on me and make sure I was recovering well. That personal touch meant a lot and showed how much they truly care about their patients.

If you're thinking about it, go here. It's life changing. I did PRK with Dr. Hura on a Thursday and I kid you not — on Sunday afternoon I was pain free. On Monday, I could SEE. Like no cringing at sunlight or phone screens. It's a remarkable experience and I am so grateful.

I was excited to get LASIK surgery and was advised to get a second consultation with Dr. Hura — and I am beyond thankful I did! Not only was the consultation very thorough, they performed all the testing needed using their advanced technology. Dr. Hura's expertise was able to catch something during the consultation that could have caused complications with LASIK. He recommended PRK instead. His thoroughness is the reason my outcome was exceptional.

I had PRK done in both eyes with Dr. Hura and I cannot express how wonderful the experience was. He and the team of nurses and technicians were extremely professional, welcoming, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Every question was answered thoroughly and they made the process seamless. I am forever grateful for the care I received.

I had a great experience with Dr. Hura. I got PRK surgery, as I was not a candidate for LASIK. He was very supportive and kind throughout the whole process. He answered all of my questions and made me feel very safe. My results have been incredible. 10/10, would recommend Dr. Hura and the procedure without hesitation.                                                                                  

If you're thinking about it, do it. Getting PRK with Dr. Hura was the best decision ever. The Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute is beautiful and the staff made me feel comfortable right away. At my consultation, Dr. Hura informed me I was not a candidate for LASIK and took the time to explain other options. His honesty and thoroughness made the decision easy.                                                                                     

I recently had a PRK procedure with Dr. Shamie and her team. Throughout the entire process they were kind, caring, and made sure I understood each step thoroughly. The procedure itself couldn't have gone more smoothly, and I felt very cared for and well informed both before and after. My vision has now surpassed what it was even with glasses.                                                                                     

Very happy with the results of my PRK surgery. Dr. Hura was professional and efficient, my nurse was compassionate and helpful, the staff were all wonderful and accommodating. I should have done this years ago.                                                                                        

I had a PRK eye procedure with Dr. Hura. Everything went well and now my eye has good vision. Their team is professional, friendly, and helpful. Yes, I would 100% recommend you have an eye consultation here.                                                                                    

Excellent facility. I had my PRK done earlier this year and have nothing but positive things to say about the facility and the staff. I've already recommended them to others.                                                                                 

Wonderful institution. I would highly recommend going here if you're interested in getting vision correction surgery. The entire staff was incredibly welcoming — it felt like they had already known me for years. I felt completely safe in Dr. Hura's hands. The procedure itself was painless and smooth, and the follow-up has been excellent.                                                                                 

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!                                                                            

"I don't even know how to properly thank Dr. Neda Shamie. This surgery truly changed my life. I had -8 vision for over 20 years. By the time I turned 50, I couldn't wear contacts anymore, and my glasses were so strong they gave me headaches. Everyday life and work had become very difficult.

To be honest, I feel like a new person. ICL truly changed my life in a way that's hard to put into words. Immediately after surgery I could already see better than I ever could without my glasses, and by day two I had 20/20 vision."                                                                                   

If I could give 10 stars, I would. From the first communication to the post-operative care, it's been amazing. Had my EVO ICL two weeks ago and am beyond glad I did it. I considered doctors in my home state and nationwide before landing on Dr. Shamie. There is no one better. Everyone was fantastic.

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.

I am so grateful.                                                                                    

I wish I had done the ICL procedures years before I did! Dr. Hura was patient to answer all questions in the consultation and pre-op. The procedure was quick and I found it to be painless. In follow-up, he reached out numerous times for a welfare check. I have the highest regards for Maloney-Shamie-Hura Institute and Dr. Hura in particular.                                                                                    

I was nervous about undergoing the EVO-ICL surgery, however I felt I was in the most capable hands when deciding on Dr. Shamie as my surgeon, and I am so grateful that I did. Dr. Shamie is a remarkable provider. I was blown away by her warmth throughout the consultation, surgery, and post-op. She was genuinely invested in my recovery every step of the way.                                                                                    

Dr. Hura and his staff were amazing. The experience was top notch and I would recommend to anyone who wants to get corrective surgery. They were professional and calm, which helped me relax. My optometrist is blown away with the results as well!                                                                                 

Changed my life forever! Thoroughly consulted on the right operation for my needs, smooth and safe operation, and diligent follow-ups. Would recommend for anyone looking to ditch contacts and glasses!                                                                                       

Dr. Shamie and staff perform miracles. I went in with cataracts and needing reading and distance glasses, and left with 20/20 vision and a bright new world. They were wonderful — kind, efficient, and professional to the highest degree.                                                                                 

EXCEPTIONAL IN EVERY WAY! Having just completed both eyes having cataract and lens implant surgery with Dr. Hura, I can say without hesitation that the care, communications, and technical interventions exceeded my expectations. Dr. Hura and the entire team function as a wonderful, caring, cohesive unit. I cannot recall where I received such thorough and compassionate care.                                                                                        

Everyone at Maloney-Shamie is awesome! I needed cataract surgery and I was extremely nervous about it. They all did their best to make me feel comfortable and well taken care of. Dr. Hura even texted me after each surgery to see how I was doing! I can't begin to explain the professionalism and competence of this team.                                                                                

I strongly recommend Dr. Hura for cataract surgery. I have macular degeneration in both eyes and my cataracts were making my vision so bad I feared I was going blind. Dr. Hura recently performed cataract surgeries on both my eyes, and the surgeries were so successful that after wearing glasses and contacts my whole life, I no longer need them. I am forever grateful.

"I cannot recommend Dr. Shamie and her team highly enough for cataract correction and lens replacement surgery. As a younger patient (45 years old), I admittedly was nervous but my experience was seamless, defined by thoughtful and professional care at every stage — from the initial preparation and surgical planning through the attentive aftercare.

I now have the ability to see clearly across all distances with vision better than 20/20 — a level of clarity I haven't experienced in decades. I am forever grateful for the skill and compassion Dr. Shamie brought to my case."

Dr. Hura is knowledgeable, highly skilled, and straightforward, which immediately put me at ease. My cataract procedure took less than 10 minutes per eye, and the results are truly amazing. Dr. Hura is very thorough, efficient, and honest, and the support staff are outstanding. The whole process was seamless from first consultation to follow-up care.                                                                                     

I was fearful at the thought of getting my cataracts done because of previous eye surgery many years ago. I found the office very calming and the staff friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Shamie discovered a lesion on my cornea that was missed by others and fixed the problem. Three weeks later my vision has improved dramatically. I highly recommend Dr. Shamie.                                                                                    

Dr. Hura and the staff at Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute were professional and caring. My mom required special care and attention because she is 89 and has dementia. Dr. Hura performed cataract surgery on both eyes and repaired her damaged vision. She walked gingerly before because she couldn't see — and now she's walking tall. He was wonderful with her in every way.                                                                                       

I cannot express enough how wonderful and talented Dr. Shamie is. Who would have thought that getting a cataract would be a life-changing event in a good way. My vision is now unbelievable — it's like I am in my 20s again. The experience was incredibly easy and the book they provided was invaluable in setting expectations. I highly recommend Dr. Shamie.                                                                                  

Very professional yet very personal attention. I never felt rushed and my questions were always answered. The staff was friendly. I loved when I heard Dr. Shamie say in an online video that she treats each patient as if we were family — I felt that especially when at the surgical center. She explained everything and made sure I was comfortable at every step.                                                                                     

I am 62 years old. About a month ago I received Refractive Lens Exchange surgery (RLE) from Dr. Shamie. I was not nervous or anxious in the least, especially after reading about her credentials — they are VERY IMPRESSIVE. After wearing glasses for 56 years, my last prescription was R +6.75 and L +7. The results have been extraordinary. I can see clearly at all distances. I am deeply grateful.                                                                                    

I can't say enough about how great my experience has been. From beginning to end, everyone involved has been professional and the level of care I have received can only be described as exceptional. Dr. Hura is not only skilled but a really nice guy. After wearing glasses for 40 years, I woke up and could see. That sentence alone says everything.                                                                                    

Dr. Hura is a first class eye surgeon and he genuinely cares about providing the best possible outcome for his patients. He's also kind and reachable at any time during the laser adjustment period. My lens replacement surgery and laser adjustments far exceeded my expectations. I now have perfect vision and could not be more pleased with my decision.                                                                                  

I love the results from my refractive lens exchange. During my initial consultations, Dr. Shamie listened to my concerns carefully and was thoughtful and specific in her recommendations. After a thorough review of my situation, she was confident I would be able to get rid of my glasses — and she was right. The results have been life-changing.                                                                                    

Dr. Hura is absolutely the best! I had RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange) surgery and now enjoy perfect vision. Dr. Hura and his team were caring, professional, and attentive every step of the way. I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend Dr. Hura — many thanks to you and your amazing team.                                                                                      

I worked with Dr. Hura and had lens replacement. 7 years ago I started struggling with reading small type. Over the years it got progressively worse. I started becoming dependent on readers and had to use them all of the time to read anything. Last month I had the procedure and my short, medium, and long range vision are all back. It is remarkable. I am so grateful to Dr. Hura and the entire team.                                                                                      

Dr. Shamie was very patient and answered all of my questions and concerns. I was extremely nervous and she really calmed me down and reassured me the morning of my surgery. The procedure was life changing for me. I've never seen better! The nurses and staff at the surgery center were also amazing and very professional.                                                           

My son and I made appointments at Maloney-Shamie for LASIK. To our surprise neither one of us were candidates — however, two separate procedures were presented to us. Due to having Radial Keratotomy in the past, I was offered the Refractive Lens Exchange. The transparency and thoroughness of that consultation is exactly why I trust them completely.                                                                                    

Results exceeded my expectations. Multi-focal lenses enable me to read at 20/12 and see intermediate and distant vision at 20/20 with both eyes. Entire experience flawless with highly skilled and compassionate Dr. Neda Shamie and office staff.                                                                                     

Easy, painless lens replacement surgery for a lifetime of 20/20 vision, and great patient care. Highly recommend!                                                                                    

Absolutely exceptional. Dr Hura was so thorough and kind and informative. The procedure was quick and I felt taken care of before and after.                                                                             

Amazing experience at Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute. Dr. Shamie is so nice and professional. The staff is friendly and patient, and they made the whole process smooth and comfortable. Highly recommend!                                                                              

I cannot state how patient, professional, and calming Dr. Shamie is. I did a LASIK procedure under 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 or other eye procedures.J                                                                         

From start to finish, my experience with the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute was amazing. Dr. Hura is great, very knowledgeable and explained the whole process and after care in great detail. The actual procedure took maybe 10 mins? And voila! I've had glasses since I was 7 and I don't remember ever having clear vision like I do now. My fiancée also had his eye surgery here but with Dr. Shamie last year. We both LOVE the result! 

I had an outstanding experience with Dr. Shamie at the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Eye Institute. She is incredibly caring, patient, and informative every step of the way. I felt completely comfortable and confident in her hands, and my surgery went perfectly. She made sure I understood the process, answered all my questions, and truly went above and beyond to make me feel supported. I'm extremely grateful for her expertise and compassion. Highly recommended!                                                                              

Loved my experience with the team and couldn't be happier with my Lasik results - life changing! Dr Hura communicated every step of the way and made me feel very comfortable during the (fast!) procedure. I was impressed by the care he took with me during the process and can't recommend him enough. Thank you Dr. Hura!                                                                              

Dr. Hura really took the time to make sure LASIK was the right decision for me. I appreciated his patience and carefulness. The procedure was quick and painless. The entire staff were extremely kind and friendly.                                                                                                                                   

I felt so cared for and at ease during my lasik surgery with Dr Shamie. She's is genuinely kind and the best surgeon around. My results are better than I imagined making this a life changing experience. From first appointment to the last, every step was easy. The staff is lovely. Extra thank you to Luis, Seth, Shane, Courtney, Emily, all the front desk staff and O. R. nurses. I met with three different surgeons over the years and thought about this surgery entirely too much before I finally did it. I should have done it years ago and I'm so glad I put my trust with Dr Shamie. She deserves all the hype- she's truly a gem!                                                                           

It's been four months since my LASIK surgery with Dr. Hura, and I could not be more happy with both the results of the surgery, and also the experience leading up to it. Dr. Hura and his team made me comfortable and gave me reassuring advice leading up to my procedure, and the results have been fantastic. I can see again! (20/15 vision now, per my tests.) Thank you to the team for all of their help. I would recommend them to anyone else in the LA area that is looking to transform their vision and move towards a clearer life.                                                                             

I feel truly blessed that I was able to work with Dr Shamie and Dr. Barnes and the entire staff The entire journey from both surgery and LASIK eye treatment turned out to be an exciting and wonderful experience. You're all true heroes thank you so much for taking such good care of my eyes. PS you're all my new best friends. Thank you very much.
