There was something I should have said and didn’t My concern is over the lens replacement that you would be putting in.
I don’t know if you are familiar with a Dr. Jack Kruse, I suggest you check him out. He was a successful surgeon when he hurt himself. He was obese and his legs were deteriorating. He spent nine months cramming all fields dealing with the body. He cured himself,
The guy is a walking supercomputer and came up with some inconvenient truths. He has a lot to say about the eyes. One fact he states which has my concern is that the eyes absorb a tiny amount of UV light. This small amount is greatly magnified and has pronoun effects with Vit. D3. He wrote somewhere in his massive blogs that the lens replacement no longer absorbs UV. I think he said that there is a brand that does. Anyway, this is my concern. His inconvenient truth is that blue light is the cause of the rapid increase in obesity, all the cancers, neurological diseases and diabetics. Artificial light has a damaging effect on our circadian rhythms. In short, our technology is killing us.

Dr Pesenti & her staff were always diligent in my assessment & care including cataract surgery in both eyes. This was also my wife’s experience. Very pleased that she provided our eye care.
