She joked that as a young girl she always wanted glasses because “everyone in my class wore glasses practically, so I wanted to wear glasses too.” As she got older she began to wear contacts for a small correctio ..read more

When your ophthalmologist specialist has diagnosed you with cataracts, one of the first questions is “When should I schedule cataract surgery” I give my Charleston, South Carolina patients this answer: The best time to have cataract surgery is when your blurred vision is making it difficult to do things you want or need to do.
