Cataract surgery is one of the safest and most effective procedures performed in modern medicine. Advancements in surgical technology include laser techniques and different implant options. This allows our surgeon to provide a pleasant and predictable procedure. Cataract surgery is considered medically necessary and is covered by insurance.
