If you’re dealing with blurred, cloudy, or poor night vision, don’t wait!

Dr. Richmond Roeske explains that once cataracts are removed, they do not return. Occasionally, a secondary film may form behind the lens, but this is easily treated with a simple laser—helping you see clearly again quickly.

Don’t wait to see clearly—schedule your consultation today: https://pacificeyemd.com/appt/ or call (800) 345-8979.

Dr. Peter Bekendam shares that cataract surgery isn’t about rushing—it’s about timing.

In this video, he explains how to know when it may be time to consider surgery: when vision changes start to interfere with everyday life, from driving at night to enjoying your favorite shows.

If your vision is holding you back, a conversation can be the first step forward.
