Welcome to the LASIK, Cataract, & ICL Surgery Los Angeles Blog
This is a blog regarding the full spectrum of vision correction surgeries, including LASIK Surgery, Cataract Surgery, and ICL Implantable Contact Lens Surgery in Los Angeles.
My name is Uday Devgan and I’m your host. In case you’re wondering about the ethnic name, my parents are from India and ‘Uday’ means ’sunrise’ — can you guess what time I was born? (bonus points if you said 6 AM, instead of simply ’sunrise’)
I’m a Los Angeles local, from elementary school through medical school (USC), including all of my medical and surgical training and residency (UCLA), and I’m an Associate Clinical Professor at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA. I enjoy teaching other eye surgeons as Chief of Ophthalmology at Olive View UCLA Medical Center, part of the UCLA School of Medicine, and I’m the only one to have won the UCLA Eye Surgery Teaching Award Twice (in 2002 and 2007).

However, I don’t see patients at UCLA — I just teach there 1 day per week. Why? I’ve found that there is too much bureaucracy and inefficiency and the patient experience is sub-optimal. For this reason, I spend 4 days a week in private practice at the Maloney Vision Institute, considered to be the premier vision surgery institute in Southern California. The quality of the surgery and the patient experience is superb, and it’s the reason why more than 100 other eye doctors have had their own surgery and their family’s surgery at the Maloney Vision Institute.
Robert Maloney MD founded the Maloney Vision Institute more than 10 years ago. Prior to that Dr Maloney was Chief of Refractive (Vision) Surgery at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA and in fact, was the one who founded the department. You can read more about our institute via the link below:
