Dr. Fassio recently performed cataract surgery on my eye. He and his staff are amazing. My result is incredible and I wish I'd done it sooner but I was terrified. Dr. Fassio made the procedure comfortable for me knowing how scared I was. Important to note he's a conservative doctor and will not perform surgery unless necessary. My other eye has a cataract as well, but Dr. Fassio won't operate till it's progressed to a certain point. I highly recommend him!

Thank you so much for giving me the gift of clearer vision!
On November 24, 2025, Dr. Smith performed cataract surgery on my left eye, which had the poorest vision. On December 5, 2025, he performed the surgery on my right eye.
I was much younger than the typical cataract patient, but this surgery was absolutely necessary. My vision had become so blurry that I could no longer see clearly, colors had lost their vibrancy, and reading had become extremely difficult. Other doctors explained that glasses might help temporarily, but I would need to keep changing prescriptions as the cataracts progressed. Glasses could not correct the underlying problem.
