I originally saw Dr. C. Edward Yee as one of the staff doctors at Westfield eye institute. He suggested I get a cornea transplant (the going rate is $28,000.) My 1st office visit after surgery he tells me there's a problem with the sutures he put in and he needs to put in more stitches. Rather than schedule for the surgery center so I could be fully sedated he says we'll do it now. He used some local anesthetic and commenced. It was extremely painful so kept adding more applications of the anesthetic. That was 2 yrs. ago. I saw him today. Told him something is terribly wrong with my vision.

I went with the premium lenses. These are MY EYES after all. Lots of appointments with preop, surgery, postop. Healing. Then my second Eye was done. I arranged a pickup and drop off by GMT services on surgery days as I don't have anyone able to take me to and from surgeries. I just had my last scheduled appointment today about a month after starting this. I'm 20/20 in both eyes. No dry eye or irritation. Dr. Yee and his staff did a great job during this procedure. They answered all my questions and were very courteous. If you need cataract surgery done this is the...
