Dr. C. Patrick Fitch carefully explained the procedures to me after I had had numerous tests. Dr. Fitch has literally performed at least 10,000 cataract surgeries during his career and is dedicated to the health of all his patients.
It seems appropriate to look at what is involved in cataract surgery since a large portion of the population will at some time encounter the need for this procedure.
