Testimonials from Cataract Surgery Patients

Dear Dr. Wade:

I just wanted to thank you for saving my eyesight.  The ReSTOR lenses that you recommended are performing remarkably well for me.

Coming into your office was a challenge for me because I'm the type of person that has a hard time letting anyone touch my eyes, even putting drops in is not easy for me.

Surgery day I was very nervous but the whole surgery was over so quickly and without pain. As you might recall, within 24 hours of my first surgery I was ready to schedule my second surgery on the other eye with you.

Additionally, I was very impressed with the kindness and professionalism of your staff. You must be proud to lead such a terrific organization. At the age of 62, I want to thank you so much again for giving me a second chance at sight --for the rest of my life."

- Sincerely,
-L. Manning

“To anyone who is thinking about having cataract surgery I would like to share my experience at the Eye Center of Texas. The employees were very helpful and were willing to spend time with me answering all my questions (and I had a lot of questions). The surgery itself was very fast and only took what seemed like a few minutes.

Dr. Wade recommended the ReSTOR lenses. The first eye was done on February 11 and the second eye was done 2 weeks later. I have had no problems at all. I never even took Tylenol, there was just no pain. Since my surgery, I do not wear glasses. I can read the newspaper, drive my car, and my vision is 20/20 for far away and for near.

I would recommend Dr. Wade to anyone thinking of any future eye surgery or lens replacements. The ReSTOR lens has given me back my vision”.

“I had the ReSTOR procedure done by Dr. Mayo, and I would like to thank him and his staff for the wonderful job that they did.

I could not have imagined reading again without glasses and doing the daily tasks that I do which required me to wear glasses (reading a menu, a newspaper, price tags in a department store, grocery shopping, threading a needle, etc)  I feel free!!

Again I THANK YOU for correcting my vision so that I do not have to wear glasses."

“For me, it was true a miracle.  Like everyone, I depend on my eyes for everything.  I enjoy hunting and playing golf.  In fact, I had to give up hunting and golfing over the years because I couldn’t see well enough. Now I’m looking forward to hunting and getting on the course again.”
Thanks Dr. Wade for this miracle!

“Three years ago I attended a seminar at the Eye Center of Texas and heard Dr. Wade talk about the ReSTOR lens.  Well, two months ago I finally decided to have the surgery and now that it’s done, I can’t believe I waited so long to do it.  The ReSTOR lens in truly amazing…I can see near, far and everything in between.  I’m 56 year old and can see as good as I did when I was 21. 
The best advice I can give someone that is considering this surgery is …don’t wait…do it now and enjoy your vision”.

“When Dr. Mayo told me I had a cataract I didn’t realize that having a cataract was going to be such a good thing.  He suggested I have the ReSTOR lens implant.  This has been a remarkable journey for me, for the first time in my adult life I don’t need glasses.  I play bridge every week, and I’m the only 72 year old lady that doesn’t wear glasses”.

Dear Dr. Mayo:

Thank you for taking such good care of my mother.  She recently had cataract surgery and you and your staff were extremely kind and helpful.  But most of all, thank you for recommending the ReSTOR lens to her.  Now that she has had the ReSTOR lens implant - she can see better than me.  When we go out to dinner, she can read the menu to me (which if great, because I always forget my readers). 

Sincerely,
-B. Cross
