About See Clearly Vision
See Clearly Vision is a premier, specialty eye care practice known for providing exceptional visual outcomes for patients across Washington, D.C., Virginia, and Maryland. The practice is staffed by a team of talented ophthalmologists and optometrists dedicated to delivering state-of-the-art care, including advanced cataract and LASIK surgery. Patients praise the expertise and attentiveness of the providers at See Clearly Vision. One reviewer highlighted the skill of the optician, Leila, in expertly repairing a pair of Silhouette frames that seemed beyond repair. Another patient had a positive experience with Dr. Baveja, who was described as very attentive and understanding during the annual eye exam. Support staff are organized, efficient, professional, and welcoming, making visits smooth and comfortable. Patients also appreciate the friendly and detailed care provided by Dr. Dawn Williams, who has helped with post-surgery recovery and emergency treatment. While most reviews are highly favorable, one patient noted that the lens fitting exam process had changed, now handled mainly by an assistant rather than a doctor. Although this was seen as a way to improve efficiency, the patient felt that Dr. Williams was impatient when asked to revisit settings. This concern may be related to recent changes in the practice’s management, which some believe increased pressure to see more patients in less time. Despite this isolated incident, the practice maintains an excellent reputation. Dr. Williams is praised as "amazing" and "one of the best doctors," and the staff is consistently described as helpful and friendly. Many patients highly recommend See Clearly Vision to friends and family for their eye care needs. Overall, the practice continues to be recognized for its talented team, state-of-the-art services, and strong commitment to delivering outstanding visual outcomes for all patients.
I recently had femtolaser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) with placement of ultraviolet light adjustable premium intraocular lenses (UV LAL's) at Fairfax Surgery Center by Dr. Christine Tagayun MD, with support from Dawn Williams OD, and the excellent supporting staff of See Clearly Vision in McLean, VA. My condition was a bit more complicated by the presence of "map-dot corneal dystrophy" (also called anterior basement membrane dystrophy) a relatively minor congenital deposit of small opacities in my corneas. These deposits needed to be removed before cataract surgery using the laser, and I underwent Photo-Therapeutic Keratectomy (PTK) in each eye prior to cataract surgery to remove these deposits from my corneas. Dr. Tagayun performed this laser procedure in the McLean offices of See Clearly Vision, which is related to the PhotoRefractive Keratectomy (PRK) used sometimes to correct refractive errors instead of LASIK or other procedures. To summarize my experience, I had truly excellent care at all phases of my technologically advanced treatment of my corneal deposits and my age-related cataracts, with the premium. ultraviolet light adjusted intraocular lenses. The precision of the refractions after my cataract surgery allowed similarly precise adjustments of my adjustable intraocular lenses, and I now have 20/20 vision or better in each eye, so for the first time in 64 years, I can see with normal clarity at distance without correction. I still require plus lenses in spectacles for computer use or reading, as does anyone old enough to have presbyopia, which is not a problem for me. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Christine Tagayun MD, and Dawn Williams OD for corneal and premium cataract care in the Northern Virginia and DC Metropolitan regions. Preston C.

After suffering from dry eyes for years, I suffered bilateral corneal abrasions during a surgery in 12/2020. I found See Clearly and Dr Tagayun through a recommendation of a close friend. Dr Tagayun has quite literally changed my life!! I came in with bottles of drops and ointments. She took one look at me and suggested Tear Duct Plugs to help the dryness. I was skeptical (no other doctor had ever mentioned it) but I trusted her. The tear duct plugs have changed my life! I still take Xiidra and I have to get the tear duct plugs replaced if they fall out, but my eyes are so amazing!! The dryness is gone. I can tell when one falls out bc the immediate dryness (and my misery) returns. Dr Tagayun is incredibly caring, attentive, thorough, and such a pleasure! She is a treasure! So, thank you Dr Tagayun for helping me get much needed relief when other doctors didn’t give me this option. I am eternally grateful! (The staff are incredible too and everyone at this office is wonderful!)
Dr. Christina Tagayun was the MOST patient, kind and gentle doctor I have seen in a long time. She calmed my nerves and made me feel so incredibly comfortable when I had to have a very minor procedure that caused me so much anxiety. She took the time to walk me through it and educated me on how to take better care of my eyes. The staff was just as sweet and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her and am grateful for her help!
