Opinions and experiences please.
Two weeks ago had cataract surgery at St Luke's with Dr. Ireland and was a candidate for the multifocal lens (no more glasses!) which she did also. Before my surgery I asked 4 people who had cataract surgery how their cataract surgery went. They had all gone to St. Luke's with Dr. Ireland as the surgeon. They all raved about Dr. Ireland and the office itself.

I couldn't be more pleased with the results. They do a thorough test of your eyes before scheduling any surgery to see if you are a candidate for insurance to cover the cost of the cataract surgery. They also tested to see if I was a candidate for the multifocal lens (which Medicare does not pay) which they will ONLY do if you had not had any prior eye injury or Lasix surgery. Luckily I was a candidate for both.

I highly recommend Dr. Ireland and St. Luke's.
