Grateful for Cataract Surgery close to home
Andrea’s career in accounting involves a keen eye and attention to detail. When she started noticing her vision was deteriorating, she knew it was important to not put off making an appointment for a vision exam.
She was living with severe astigmatism which was causing a lot of eye strain and noticed driving at night was extremely uncomfortable. She chose to have her eyes examined by Dr. Tyler Risma at Fuerste Eye Clinic in Lancaster.
“I read their current reviews online and saw that they are rated 5-star. Since they have an office at Grant Regional, I was certain it was the right place to go,” said Andrea.
After the comprehensive eye exam, it was determined that Andrea’s vision would benefit from cataract surgery. Cataracts are one of the most common and treatable causes of vision loss in the world. Poor vision from cataracts affect over 60% of all people over the age of 60. In fact, over one million Americans have
cataracts removed every year making it one of the most common surgeries in America today.
“When Dr. Risma shared with me his extensive experience with hundreds of cataract surgeries, it instantly made me feel more confident,” explained Andrea. “My eyes are not only essential to my job, but my quality of life – so I chose a surgeon I knew I could trust. I live in Lancaster so to have my procedure here at Grant Regional was an important part of my decision. It’s great to have this excellent care right in our own backyard! I didn’t have to make time to travel out of town.”
“Dr. Risma explained my options and how the procedure would work. He assured me that he could help. My visits were never rushed. There were always plenty of opportunities to ask questions. He explained how he could improve my eyesight – I was incredibly hopeful. And then it went exactly as he said! My vision is now 20/20 in one eye and 20/25 in the other. It’s been a very positive experience,” Andrea said. “I’m very happy – happy – happy! Dr. Risma has such a passion for helping people find a solution to their eye problems. He is experienced, confident and has a drive to help people. We are so fortunate to have local care of this caliber right here close to home,” shared Andrea.
