Best thing I ever did!" That's how I feel about my cataract surgery at East Florida Eye Institute with Dr. Frenkel. Despite my high astigmatism and nearsightedness, the surgery was a resounding success. Now, my vision is clearer than ever, and colors are more vibrant. I never thought life was so beautiful

Having cataract surgery with Dr. Frenkel at East Florida Eye Institute was just like getting a tooth replaced - easier than I ever thought it would be! In fact, I wish I had done it earlier. Dr. Frenkel and their team made the entire process smooth and stress-free, and I couldn't be happier with the results. If you're considering cataract surgery, don't hesitate - it's easier than you think!
