My first cataract surgery went well both during & after. My second surgery on my right eye was a little bit disheartening due to not enough anesthesia. I would highly recommend telling them you want to be comfortable and not wake up during surgery like I did! The nurse told me that they are almost done, but it felt like an eternity to me! I felt the pressure, I saw various colors, wierd designs. My nurse who gave me the IV took a small vein in my opposite arm and I wondered why she didn't use my obvious vein in my right arm? Did I get proper medicine through that tight vein?! One has to ask questions and be your own advocate. They are not paying for this surgery on me, I am! All in all, I have my eyesight, I am recovering from cataract surgery in both eyes now. It did get a little pricey for me, even with health insurance. ( However, insurance has to kick in, too.).I am just saying to speak up if something does not feel right, ie ( the vein for meds), and waking up too soon. I told them I can see colors, I can see a pin type item coming at my eye and I'm told they need me awake for this operation?! Not a good memory, but I am still in the process of healing and I'm thankful that so far, I have no problems.

Sharing my experience to help others When business is slow which occurs on a regular basis you're required to take days off from work and punch out early. This will effect your paycheck. There is a lack of online technology. This causes a significant increase in tasks and makes for a very tedious and time consuming workday. Your job description is subject to change shortly after working at the company. The next thing you know you can have multiple job titles you're responsible for with a significant workload. Surgery Scheduler is a very busy job you'll have over 40 charts to assemble on some days in addition to boarding surgeries. Physician Liaison is required to travel in your personal vehicle to approximately 10 doctor offices; on a regular basis to build relationships and represent the company. The workplace culture is to be friends with each other and socialize outside of work. Poor medical benefits with a very high deductible thousands of dollars. Lack of traditional eyeglass insurance.

I had successful surgery at the Eye Center of Michigan. Everyone was very professional and kind. I was well taken care of. The facility is spotless and comfortable.
