Cataracts Treatment

Question by DebbyFan4Ever: Best country for laser surgery for cataract?

Best answer:

Answer by Footprintz
A cataract operation isn’t done with a laser.

It is such a simple procedure now, Ophthalmologists anywhere do it all the time with no problems.

I’m not sure I would go to Haiti or Bangladesh….but just about anywhere else is good.

I live in GA and have had 2 cataract surgeries this year preformed by James Stephen Ellis, M.D.
at the “Coliseum Same Day Surgery Center”. Not sure how far you are willing to travel, but I highly recommend this doctor. My vision is great now.

Question by daria: Hi, i really need to know where is the best place to go to for eye surgery?
My 9 year old daughter got arthritis. It has severely affected her right eye to the point where she has a massive cataract, everything is glued together and she has recurring inflammation all the time. Her case is very complicated and here in Greece they said they don’t have the expertise to take this case on properly. I have options to go to Russia, where i heard they were the best eye specialists in the world and i have also been referred to Moorfields Eye Hospital in London ( also good reputation). Money is not a problem for me and i can go anywhere in the world but i need to know who is the best and where they are. Everyone i contact say they are it. I am, though, looking for some sort of consensus on this matter. My daughter cannot see anymore from her right eye ( just barely can sense light). Please help. I am at a loss.

I would recommend traveling to the United States. Here, we have great hospitals, which some, are the best in the world. The Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, USA is the best in the world, so I would recommend calling them.

Good luck!
