Sam's Story

I had cataract surgery at ClearVision. I noticed my vision was deteriorating. In the morning I had to feel around to find my glasses, so I could put them on and see well enough to find my contacts and put them on. Well finally I went to Dr. Cherne's office to see if I could have LASIK. I found out I had cataracts. That was a real surprise and it turned out to be a delightful surprise since there was a surgery to fix cataracts with implants. We did it in the morning and I was home by the after noon. It was very simple.

I've been working with Dr. Cherne for several years and I knew exactly what to expect and had great confidence in him as a surgeon. I have talked to many many people after they had cataract surgery and their experiences have always been good. I get a lot of patients that have had their first eye done and were a little nervous, but after it's done they say they are so happy with their first eye that they can't wait to have their second eye done. They also say how much better they see which was also the case with me. Two weeks later I was out golfing and my putting really improved.

What was really nice is my husband and I ski. It was so much nicer to ski without contacts. My eyes would get SO dry while skiing and then be miserable by the end of the day... but now after surgery they are great. To ski without contacts is just wonderful.

Colors are so much brighter but the best part is just to see so clearly...especially without glasses or contacts. Your whole life is just kind of turned around.
