Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery at Ighani Eye Care
Don Gooch lives in Forney, Texas, where he is enjoying retirement at 68 years young. When he began to notice his vision getting worse, especially at night, when he was dealing with glares from headlights while driving, he knew just who to call.
“About ten years ago, I had my annual eye exam with Dr. Farshid Ighani and it was the most thorough exam I have ever had,” said Don. As someone who has worn glasses for 56 years, he had seen many eye doctors over the years, but that eye exam with Dr. Ighani was impressive enough to remember. So when Don’s vision began declining because of cataracts, “I knew exactly who to call when I needed cataract surgery,” he said.
Don made the 50-mile drive from Forney to Bedford for his cataract evaluation at Ighani Eye Care. He found out that Dr. Ighani and his partner Dr. Brian Anding have invested in a state-of-the-art, in-house surgical suite where Don could have his cataract surgery.
Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery
Don was one of the first patients to have laser-assisted cataract surgery in the on-site surgical suite. Dr. Ighani used the state-of-the-art LenSx® Laser System to perform the surgery and correct Don’s astigmatism. The laser-assisted surgery is faster and more precise than traditional cataract surgery and provides faster recovery time for patients.
Don had his surgery on the first eye and then five days later, on the second eye. He admits he was a bit concerned about pain during the procedure and the recovery after cataract surgery. “Dr. Ighani told me not to worry and he was right. I only felt a slight pressure during the procedure and the recovery went very smoothly,” said Don.
Don loved the fact that because the surgery suite is on-site at Dr. Ighani’s office, he saw all the same familiar Ighani staff member faces he knew from his regular eye exam appointments. The ease, convenience and familiarity of having the surgery done at Dr. Ighani’s office greatly reduced any anxiety Don had about the procedure.
Glasses-Free After 50 Years
“It was an amazing experience from start to finish,” he added. “I can’t express enough gratitude for Dr. Ighani and his staff! The whole process was seamless from check in, pre-op, the actual surgery, and post-op. The results were way beyond my expectations! I couldn’t be happier. My vision is now 20/20, and for the first time in 56 years, I don’t have to wear glasses! I could not have made a better choice than going with Ighani Eye Care for my cataract surgery.”
