Read before you have cataract surgery | This book will be of great help to those contemplating cataract surgery. It helps the patient understand the process, what to look for in their surgeon and what questions to ask. I recommend it. I was not aware of this book until after my cataract surgery, but that experience enables me to judge the book from a unique perspective. Been there, done that! You might wonder why someone who has had the surgery would read the book, well, one can never know too much and I needed to understand something that occurred during my surgery. This book gave me the answer

Finally a book for patients that really spells out what a cataract means and what to do about it. Dr Richardson has the rare ability to communicate like a friend rather than a doctor and the result is clear, concise, and easy to understand. If you or your loved one has a cataract, don’t make an appointment until you’ve read this book.
