maximize your happiness with your cataract surgery

 

In the past, cataract surgery was just like many other surgeries,

where the same procedure was provided for all patients. 

 

That has all changed in the past 20 years.   Are you an avid reader?  You can design your vision for that.  A cross country skier who prefers to see distance without glasses?  Yes.  Astigmatism? Yes.  Want to reduce your need for reading glasses? Yes.  All of these things at the same time?  No.

 

That's where you come in.    

 

Investing just 15 to 30 minutes on this site will teach you how to optimize your experience with your vision after cataract surgery.   It will alert you to side effects you didn't anticipate.  It might keep you from spending money for no benefit.  You might identify opportunities you hadn't even thought about.

​

I created this site based on my experience as a cataract surgeon. Since entering private practice in 1997, I have performed approximately 10,000 cataract surgical cases. Unlike many of today's cataract surgeons, I interviewed every patient preoperatively and followed every patient postoperatively.   By doing this I got to know the varied preferences of my patients.  I got to hear about the consequences of my surgery- literally through the eyes of my own patients.

​

Using non technical language, I teach you what my patients taught me, such as how your personality and lifestyle can affect your priorities.  I help you understand the technologies that are available to you.  I tell you about potential side effects that may occur with certain choices.  With this information, you will be able to confidently make important decisions about your cataract surgery.

 

I have no financial interest in any of the devices, procedures, or concepts discussed inside and make no money from this site. Names of companies and products occur only when knowing them might be helpful to you.  There are no corporate sponsors.
