Dr. Affleck and his team are the people to go to for the best results. Having suffered with cataracts for several years. I was happy when my optometrist said it was time to remove them. When I asked about who could do the procedure, he suggested Dr. Affleck. I contacted his office and set a date. Dr. Affleck explained the procedure and said I would be impressed with the results. This proved to be an understatement. The people were so nice. I experienced no pain at all and I was seeing great in just a few hours. It’s been a little over a month since I’ve had my eyes done. I am amazed at what I can see and how clear everything is. I’ve worn glasses since I was eight. I am now 63 and can see perfectly without them. Dr. Affleck and his team are the people to go to for the best results. ♥
