I have had nothing but problems ever since I had cataract surgery. I’ve had constant pain and burning for the past year and a half. I also have problems with blurring, focus and depth perception. Dr Marek has tried several different drops but that hasn’t helped much. I even contacted Alcon and they said there were no problems with the particular lens that was used. When I need cataract surgery on my other eye I will probably choose another doctor and facility. Norman Bishop

Dr Rivera did surgery on both of my eyelids due to droopiness that interfered with my vision. I was nervous but she assured me it was going to be okay. I followed the aftercare instructions faithfully, ice 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off for the first 2 days while awake.. Slept with my head elevated, didn't let my head go below my waist, and no heavy lifting for the first week. I had some initial bruising and swelling, which is expected. I followed the instruction of using the antibiotic gel on the stitches. When I went a week and a half later to get the stitches out, I had very little bruising, just a little bit of yellow. She remarked how little bruising i had compared to other people. And I am very fair skinned, so bruises last longer on me, so I was glad to hear her say I was healing faster than normal. There is hardly any pain after the surgery. I didn't believe her but it's true. I think the most surprising thing to me was how tired I was for about a week after, I slept at least 12 hours each night, but that could have just been my body's reaction. I highly recommend Dr Rivera, you're in good hands if you need eyelid surgery.
