AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. — In this video from Cataract Surgery: Telling It Like It Is, Jack S. Parker, MD, PhD, discusses the importance and difficulty of knowing what to say to patients following cataract surgery that does not go as planned.
I had cancelled my cateract and Fouts Dystrophy surgery just from fear ! I’m 84 an read everything I could get my hands on which honestly isn’t really the best idea! The day before my surgery was scheduled Dr Jack Parker called me an was so reassuring I would be fine an should do it ! After our wonderful conversation I had all the confidence in the world I wanted to go through with it . I’m so thankful he called because I am seeing with my bad ole lazy eye as crispy as can be !! It’s just unbelievable how this is changing my life ! Dr Jack and his father Dr John Parker are both outstanding in every way. Thank you both for your dedication to perfection.
