The surgery may also be performed by surgeons who lack credentials or good reputations. Be sure to do your research about surgeons and facilities before committing to low-cost cataract surgery.

These medical benefits relate to general quality of life improvements. Even with monofocal IOLs and basic cataract surgery, you'll be much more independent once your cataracts are gone.

Amazing. I can see like I am 18 again. I had no idea how badly cataracts had impacted my vision. I only knew something was wrong. Based on his excellent reputation, I called Dr. Lalin. He replaced the affected lenses in both eyes. I was able to continue working with almost no downtime and very little discomfort. Thank you Dr. Lalin.

I was taking my friend here for cataract surgery and decided to make a regular checkup for myself. There was a little bit of a mix up when I first showed up to my appointment because they had in their computer that I had canceled it due to a scheduling conflict. I had not canceled my appointment. They took me a few minutes later than my scheduled appointment but I was grateful it was not a problem. Everyone was gracious and everyone apologized for the mix up. I felt everyone was patient and very thorough, from the technicians to the doctor, to ordering new glasses. My friend was ill that day and did not come with me to help choose new glasses. Lordes helped me and I am very pleased. (The frames selected were also friend approved!) Thank you Lordes! I would reccomend them to everyone.
