Anyone with a Fear of Cataract Surgery Must Read This

I have never written a review for a medical profession, but this time I must. Dr. Silk is exceptional. I was born with extremely poor eyesight - almost blind. Throughout the years I wore very thick glasses; was one of the first children (13 yrs old) to be allowed to have contact glasses when they were first approved. Ran the gamut from hard plastic to gas permeable lenses. After years of wearing them my eyes could no longer tolerate contacts. I had radial keratotomy 30 years ago (before lasers) and my eyes were fine for many years. During the last year my eyesight began to deteriorate. I made an appointment with Dr. Silk (after much agonizing because I am a huge coward), and the result was a diagnosis of cataracts. Long story short, after two cancellations for surgery, I finally did it. Two weeks ago - left eye. One week ago - the right. Words are not enough to express my gratitude to Dr. Silk. The reason I am writing is that I am an extremely anxious patient. Dr. Silk, and his entire team, treated me with such patience and kindness. My surgery was challenging because I had scarring on my corneas from the keratotomy, and Dr. Silk was completely honest about how long it would take me to see results. However, this morning I woke up, opened my eyes and I could see!
