Cataract Patient Story

Under the advice of a colleague, I travelled from Portugal to have my cataracts done by Dr. Joel Confino. He originally lived in New Jersey and was transferred to our office in Lisbon. When he was diagnosed with cataracts he travelled back to the US to see Dr. Confino. After his surgery he no longer wore glasses for anything and his vision, according to him, was excellent.

I have family in NJ when I was told I had cataracts, I contacted the office via email and made arrangements to see Dr. Confino for a cataract evaluation.

From the moment I walked in and through the whole process, my confidence grew that I was in the right place.

I was told my eyes were healthy enough to qualify for the implant that allowed me to read, work on my computer and see distance. I flew back several months later and they made the arrangements so everything fell into place for the time I could be in the states.

Long story short, my surgeries went off without a hitch and I see everything better than ever. I stayed in the US for a month then returned back home. He was absolutely worth the trip.
