Schedule a Consultation
If you believe you have developed a cataract and want to consider surgery, there are a few steps you should follow to ensure that you are thoroughly informed and understand the various options available to you.
Most ophthalmologists, optometrists or family doctors are able to perform a simple eye exam that will identify the cataract and make the necessary referral to a specialist. At this point, it is entirely appropriate for you to ask for a specific surgeon or vision correction centre such as the Herzig Eye Institute.
Alternatively, you may call us directly at 416-929-2020. We would be happy to help you.
At the Herzig Eye Institute the surgeon will confirm the diagnosis and thoroughly educate you about your options. Be sure to ask the surgeon to provide you with adequate information about the procedure, risks, length of recovery, long-term results and suggested follow-up.
Whether at the Herzig Eye Institute or elsewhere, ask yourself how comfortable you feel with the surgeon, staff and facility. Do you feel respected? Have they provided you with information and provided you with proper informed consent materials? Are you able to speak with former patients about their experiences?
The surgeon should patiently discuss options with you and answer all of your questions so you are informed, counseled, and fully understand your options and which solution (intraocular lens) will best suit your needs.
If you would like to discuss your options, please call us or fill out our contact form.
