I admit I was nervous. Eye surgery and an outpatient. When the nurse walk to my bed to prep for surgery that fear melted away. Everything was very professional and at the same time friendly. The anesthesiologist was extremely efficient. I was told I would be awake during my surgery but wouldn’t remember later. I remember and I remember being calm. I go back in a week for my left eye surgery and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone (pardon the pun).

Can Monovision Reduce Your Dependence on Glasses?
Do you find yourself squinting to read food labels, menus or your phone? You may have presbyopia, or “aging eye.” As we age, the eye lens loses flexibility, and it becomes difficult to focus on close objects. There are many ways to treat presbyopia.
Pandemic Quarantine May Have Worsened Children’s Vision
A recent study suggests that pandemic lockdown may have increased myopia, or nearsightedness, in school-aged children.
I saw Dr. Mitzel and had a capsulotomy surgery by him on Jan. 6th on my left eye, and I would highly recommend Dr. Mitzel and your entire practice to anyone seeking a good ophthalmologist for their vision needs. He is now my new eye doctor forever ! The staff is very friendly and highly professional, and I was able to get an appointment scheduled within a reasonable amount of time. My vision in my left eye was so bad, I could no longer drive. It turned out that scar tissue was growing over the cataract lens in that eye. Immediately after he performed the procedure, my vision was totally restored to 20/20 without the need of glasses! I went home and could read my eye chart in its entirety. It was a miracle from God, and I am so grateful I found the right doctor, the right place at the right time. Thank you so much. FIVE STARS 🌟!!!
