Patient Feedback



It’s like a whole new world

"Thank you, Empire Eye Physicians. I thought I could see colors, but as I got older I didn’t knowI was painting brighter and brighter. After cataractsurgery, it’s like a whole new world! Like being blind and now you can see."

– Christina, Artist/Cataract Surgery Patient
