The chances of developing astigmatism (distorted vision) after surgery are significantly decreased by eliminating stitches, which tend to pull the eye's surface slightly out of its natural shape. Most patients are now able to enjoy their best possible vision with minimal recovery time.

When this can no longer
be improved with
glasses and it affects
your daily life
activities, it may be
time for cataract surgery.
As a specialist, Dr. Rosenwasser not only performs routine cataract surgery, but
also performs complex cases and reconstructs eyes
that have experienced problems with their
initial surgery.
