Recently, it has become the primary treatment for many patients who are unable to tolerate the use of eyedrops.

Cataract Surgery
Approx Cost with this Doctor:
Contact Office Physician's Approach:
For many, the formation of cataracts is a natural part of the aging process, causing the eye's natural lens to cloud and distort vision. The lens is held inside a capsule, and is made of mostly protein fibers and water arranged precisely so as to permit light to pass through without interference. Over time, these fibers begin to break down and cluster together, clouding the lens. As more fibers break down, the clouding becomes denser and covers a greater area of the lens. Cataract surgery become Ideal Candidate:

If you're ready to toss those glasses and get rid of all those solutions and lenses and the hassles that come with them, there's never been a better time to have LASIK.
We at EyeCare 20/20 will strive not to lose the "personal touch" that all their patients have come to expect from our doctors and staff. We will continue to provide this service by constantly upgrading our office through training, education, and the purchase of the latest, state of the art equipment. You will find that our office is outfitted with the most technologically advanced instrumentation available in eye care today.
I just wanted to thank you once again for the LASIK surgery you performed on me. Quite often, when I’m driving at night, or I can read a far off road sign, or when I get up in the middle of the night with sight, I am still amazed at the clarity and perfection of my vision. I sit back and thank God for the miracle of perfect sight he has given me through you.
As you well know, my new found perfect vision was an extreme asset for me during the following football seasons. I was able to see the ball better so my performance level increased. If my knees were as good as my eyes are now, I would still be playing.
I constantly tell people about LASIK, you and your professional staff. I want to thank you all, not only for giving me perfect vision, but for the security and friendliness you and your staff put forth. It’s been a real pleasure to meet and get to know you, your family, and all of your staff. I wish for all of you nothing but the best. Thanks Again.
