What’s a Cataract and How Do I Get Rid of It?
Clarksville, TN – When I recently had surgery on both my eyes to remove cataracts, I was told at Clarksville Ophthalmology that some people come to their first appointment expecting to have surgery that day. That’s not how it works.
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.
