I'm considering seeing Dr. Armstrong at Ocala Eye. Anybody have any cataract surgery experience with her? I'd likely go with monovision for distance vision (knowing I'd need glasses to read), although I still think about multi-focal a bit.
I would really like to hear your opinions, especially if you have any input regarding Dr. Armstrong, or if not, Ocala Eye in general.
Thanks.

Ocala Eye has many, many eye specialists that cover all forms of eye disease. Dr. Armstrong is the one who does cataract surgery.
I was terrified of having anything sharp touch my eyes. It was a piece of cake and Dr. Armstrong is extremely well qualified and also very kind. She studied at Georgetown which is an excellent medical school and she was born in Ocala. I can't tell you how much all three of us like and trust her.

Beginning with her college education, Dr. Armstrong has traveled throughout the country diligently completing her medical training and establishing her medical career. She joined the accomplished medical staff of Ocala Eye in August 2006.

Moreover, her experience includes the instruction of ophthalmology residents at the prestigious Bascom Palmer Eye Institute on how to achieve the best visual outcomes. Her interests also include general ophthalmology and preventative eye exams. Dr. Armstrong’s path to ophthalmology lead through both Florida State University and the University of Miami, where she began her medical school training in 1996. Her medical studies continued in Washington, D.C. where she earned her M.D. in 2000 at Georgetown University.
