My surgery went very well and my vision is a lot better; Dr. Nicholas was very friendly and helpful, a great job thank you! — Abdelmajid K.
I needed cataract surgery on both my eyes , my goal was to try and not have glasses anymore along with no cataracts . Dr Benjamin Nicholas was able to make this happen with one eye for reading and one eye for distance . The surgery was a success and may I add it was a pain free surgery !

I just had my second cataract surgery last week and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results!! I would highly recommend Dr. Benjamin Nicholas, a talented surgeon who is also very patient with you during all your appointments … he answered all my many questions! 😊 I was very apprehensive about surgery but he really puts a lot of thought into just the right solution for each eye and you can trust your eyes are in good hands. —Lorie T.
I recently needed to have cataract surgery and was fortunate to find Berks Eye Physicians and Surgeons Ltd. In Wyomissing, PA.. I was treated by Doctor Benjamin D. Nicholas. He was outstanding in every aspect of the procedure. He was thorough in explaining each phase of the surgery and other examinations needed to conduct the surgery.
Surgery was a complete success! Afterwards I looked in a mirror and was astonished that now at 75 I could see clearly as I once did. The staff and others there were very helpful throughout the process. I highly recommend Dr. Nicholas for a job well done and his genuine concern about patients' health! — Frank W.
I am so pleased with the results of my cataract surgery by Benjamin Nicholas, MD at Berks Eye Physicians. Mine was not a “typical” case. I have lived with severe myopia (-13!) since grade school. In fact, my eyes were so bad that, in order to correct my vision with the procedure, Dr. Nicholas had to have lenses custom-made. Now at age 61, for the first time since 2nd grade I am living life without any vision correction except reading glasses. It is fabulous! It was a pleasure to be treated by Dr. Nicholas. I appreciate his candor and his patience with my many questions. He showed great concern for my comfort and for the success of the procedure. — Barbara B.
I am extremely pleased with the professional and dedicated Service provided at Berks Eye and specifically Dr. Benjamin Nicholas. Dr. Nicholas took the time to explain everything to me and answered every question I presented. He performed cataract surgery on both eyes and I no longer have to wear glasses...even to read!!! He called me in the evening following each surgery to see how I was and if I had any additional questions. The staff is wonderful!! The surgical team that assisted Dr. Nicholas (Hi Liz) could not have been any more accommodating. Your sincere dedication to customer satisfaction is refreshing!!! — Rita P.

I cannot thank Dr. Nicholas enough. I had a massive stye back in December 2023 that WOULD NOT go away despite doing everything I was supposed to do to treat it. My mom recommended Dr. Nicholas, since my usual ophthalmologist wouldn't have been able to see me until February 2024 and I was unsure of where to turn. Being newer to the practice, Dr. Nicholas was able to squeeze me in for an appointment the same day back in December to check it out. He had amazing bedside manner and a genuine desire to help me get rid of the alien that was taking up residence in my eyelid (it was that big). He always walked me through his process in trying to examine my eyelid and how he wanted to treat it. I could go on and on about how cared for I felt during the process. Dr. Nicholas saw through my issue in its entirety and my eyelid is now currently stye free and I'm ecstatic. He is definitely my go to ophthalmologist now. As for Berks Eye Physicians & Surgeons Ltd. I came in as a new patient and I could not be more thrilled with my experience. The facility is very clean and well staffed. They had a table set up with someone there to help fill out new patient paperwork. I never had to wait long to be called back to see my doctor. The nurses are so kind and made me feel at ease. When it was my turn to be called back I truly felt as if I was the only patient there.
All the personnel provided excellent service examining my eyes. Dr. Benjamin Nicholas was very polite and exceptional in explaining all the procedures. Thanks to all involved for being there.
I highly recommend this practice, and in particular, am thrilled with the care I received from Dr. Benjamin Nicholas and his excellent staff. Dr. Nicholas is extremely knowledgeable, attentive and compassionate. I am so very grateful to Dr. Nicholas because his expert care prevented my loss of vision.
I received prompt and courteous care for an eye emergency which included blurry vision, more floaters and eye soreness. Was given a complete dilated eye exam by Dr Ben Nicholas, who reassured me there was no retinal tear or detachment! Great relief. Told me what to expect if that should occur in the future. Wants to see me again in 1 month to check my vision and status. Very thoughtful and caring young man.
Dr Nicholas listened to my problem. Told me the side effects of the drops he prescribed. He was very efficient and patient while performing a procedure.
Each time I have been treated in the office it was always a good experience. The Nurses have always been kind when they did some pre-testing for the doctor. Dr. Nicholas is a kind caring doctor and he tries his best to treat the present problems you are having. I trust his diagnosis. He goes over everything very thoroughly each time you see him. You can feel comfortable with him and I am glad he is there.
