CC,

Your question, I realize, is about a specific practice there and I am not in Florida at this time. Ironically though, I was just sitting here researching cataract surgery and detached retina risk.

I would see a retina specialist first so that he can assess the condition of the retinas at this point. Even though vitreous/retina specialists do not usually do cataract surgery, I would think they would know who the best cataract docs are. You may want to find out if there is a corneal specialist who can do the surgery if that appears to be a better choice for you than a general ophthalmologist. A retina doc should be able to give you some answers. I guess it's kind of like working backward, but I would start with the retina doc and pick his brain.

Cataract surgery seems quite commonplace, I know, but when there are other eye problems, I agree that you have to be especially careful when you pick your docs because you present an increased risk. I wish you the best as you go through this process.
