Patient Reviews
Jul 07, 2023
I had a Wonderful Experience with Dr. Husain and his Staff at Associated Ophthalmologists with my Cataract Surgery on both Eyes...Dr. Husain is a Brilliant Surgeon and I Highly Recommend Him for Cataract Surgery or Anything regarding Eye Health. I have been wearing Glasses since I was Five Years Old for over Seventy Years with Extreme Nearsightedness of 20/400 Vision. Now after Cataract Surgery and the Special Lenses Dr. Husain put in my Eyes I have 20/20 Vision and no longer have to Wear Glasses! I also have Macular Degeneration and get Eye Injections in both eyes which made my Cataract Surgery even more Difficult to do...Dr. Husain not only restored my Vision to 20/20 without Glasses but He also got rid of my Floaters in both Eyes ! I Highly Recommend Dr. Husain,,,,He is a Miracle Worker !
