Patient Reviews
Mar 02, 2024
Dr. Downer performed bilateral cataract surgery with lens implant on me. The procedure went very well. He explained everything he did and prior to the surgery he discussed with me at length what I wanted my enhanced vision results to be. We discussed my job requirements, hobbies etc. and I couldn't be happier with my vision!
