Thanks Robyn for everything you do. We appreciate you!!
If you think cataracts are only a problem for seniors and elderly patients, think again. Statistics are showing that more and more people in their 40s and 50s are showing to be candidates for cataract surgery. There are thousands of others in their middle ages who are likely developing cataracts but don’t even realize it.
Cataracts develop slowly over time, and because of that, sometimes they aren’t recognized until vision is heavily impaired. A cataract, which is the clouding of the lens of the eye, restricts the amount of light to the eye and has a negative effect on vision.

Davis Vision would like to remind its patients that their are only a few more weeks until funds may be lost from Flex Spend accounts. For those who don't know what a health care flexible spending account is, it is an account that allows contributions of pretax dollars to pay for medical expenses that aren't covered by regular insurance plans.
Safety and concern over LASIK have kept many from improving their vision. However, a survey indicates that eye surgeons and their families believe in LASIK more than the general population which should give confidence for those who are still uneasy about the procedure. "The survey results were pretty straightforward" says Dr. Richard Duffy who headed up the anonymous survey to members of the ISRS and AAO.

Their are many rumors that circulate throughout the media in regards to LASIK surgery. Unfortunately, some of these reports don't paint some LASIK doctors and/or technology in a very positive light. We have recently seen completely false information distributed by major networks. It appears that some programs will do just about anything to boost ratings.
One of the most important factors in determining the success of LASIK on YOUR EYES is to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. At Davis Vision, it has been our experience that most people who are unhappy with their outcomes shouldn't have been cleared for LASIK in the first place. Every doctor has a different set of criteria for determining candidacy and that's where patients need to be aware and selective about the doctor they pick.
