Once a small village where Route 100 (Pottstown Pike) crosses Route 113 (Uwchlan Avenue), Lionville has grown into one of the busier communities in Uwchlan Township, anchored by the Eagleview town center to its north. Patients from the Lionville area reach Mudgil Eye Associates in West Chester with a direct run south on Route 100. Dr. A. Vijay Mudgil is the only ophthalmologist serving Lionville who routinely performs dropless cataract surgery, a technique that places the medication during the procedure and frees patients from a multi-week schedule of eye drops. His training includes an ophthalmology residency at Brown University and a fellowship at the Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins, and he has earned Main Line Today Top Doctor recognition nearly every year since 2009. The practice holds a 4.9-star Google rating across 660+ reviews.
