Eye surgery a success in Merida, Yucatan



Mérida, Yucatan, Mexico
Jane and Dr. Wilbert Chi after a successful but complicated surgery.
In 1990 Jane underwent a radical new laser eye surgery. It was like a miracle, with reshaped corneas she could do away with the glasses she had worn since childhood.
In 1994 she was diagnosed with glaucoma in her left eye.  All went well for a while but then glaucoma took most of the sight in her left eye.
This month cataract surgery was done on her good eye. The cornea reshaping surgery of twenty-five years ago complicated the cataract removal and a surgery other than what has now become routine had to be performed. Great care had to be taken.
The procedure was much more technical than what I can describe here.  Jane was fortunate to find Dr. Chi, an eye surgeon with the expertise to do this complicated surgery.
It was very gratifying to see the elation on Dr. Chi’s face after his successful operation.  He is a fine doctor and an exceptional person, truly concerned about the well-being of his patients.
Jane is smiling also.  She now has perfect vision is the right eye without correction.

Hey thanks for the information, i learned a lot, here are some extras:
cataract surgery - eye surgery that involves removing all or part of the lens and replacing it with an intraocular lens implant
eye operation, eye surgery - any surgical procedure involving the eyes
intracapsular surgery - cataract surgery in which the entire lens is removed
extracapsular surgery - cataract surgery in which only the front of the lens is removed; the back of the lens capsule remains intact and provides support for the lens implant. If anyone wants more info check out my site!!!
