Stress Relief!

When I was told I had cataracts I was shocked. I had heard about cataracts but never thought I had developed them. After listening to Dr. Fine explain what cataracts were and the surgical process, I felt a little more at ease, however, I still needed time to think about actually having the surgery. After several days I called back to schedule the surgery. This was the best thing I had done for myself in awhile. I didn’t realize how much I was straining to see and how stressful it had become worrying about the simple things like walking down steps and reading the newspaper. I had stopped driving at night because I didn’t see as well in the dark and oncoming headlights were so bright.

I noticed the biggest changes in my vision and confidence after having the second eye surgery. That’s when I realized how stressful not seeing well had been and how liberating it felt to see without difficulty again. Now my vision is fantastic. Everyone at Dr. Fine’s office was helpful, kind, compassionate and professional.

Thank you for my new sight!

I went to Dr. Fine for a second opinion regarding a difficult and challenging cataract surgery. Previous eye surgery done elsewhere years ago had left unpleasant memories, so I went in with a healthy dose of skepticism and anxiety. I asked a lot of questions and discovered differences in the approach contemplated by Dr. Fine. This resulted in many hours of research, not only of the various differences but also of Dr. Fine. The more research I did, the more impressed I became. After weeks of researching and asking follow-up questions, I finally decided on Dr. Fine for the surgery.

The surgery was performed under topical anesthesia and was due to the complicated nature. As it turned out, the surgery and recovery were much easier than all the research and debate over who would perform the surgery warranted. There was virtually no discomfort from the time the surgery started through the recovery period. I even went on my first mountain bike ride 4 days after surgery with complete confidence.

So how did it turn out? The improvement is not just good, it is spectacular! For the first time ever I can see my 5 year old son out of that eye and see him with nearly 20/20 vision. I want to thank not only Dr. Fine (who knocked the ball out of the park), but the entire staff for their patience (I asked a lot of questions!), professionalism, and obvious dedication to upholding the highest standards. What started out with anxiety has turned out to be one of the most wonderful experiences I have ever had.

At the young age of 81, my eyes were giving me trouble. I went to see a local ophthalmologist to see what was wrong. I was very unhappy with that experience and decided to get a second opinion. An ophthalmologist in California told me I had a world-renowned ophthalmologist very near me in Oregon. I immediately made an appointment. Five minutes with Dr. Fine and I knew I had the right doctor.

After a very thorough examination, he told me he would take one cataract out this week and the other one next week. To my great and happy surprise, there were no stitches, no patches and no restrictions on my activities. Two days later I played golf. The following week the second cataract was out and, the greatest thing of all, Dr. Fine had given me 20/20 vision! I used to ask my golfing partner, "Where did my ball go?" Now he asks me where his ball went.
