Will I need glasses after cataract surgery?
Years ago if you had cataract surgery, the natural cloudy lens was removed and there was nothing to replace it. People had to wear very thick eyeglasses or special contact lenses to be able to see clearly after cataract surgery.

What Our Patients Say About Us!

I had first hand experience 13 years ago at CEC as a caregiver and then a patient. I was and still am impressed by the quality of care they offer especially with patients with diabetes...I find myself recommending it to others. Dr. Hal H. Crosswell, Jr. is so patient and kind to my foster sister due to her mental disability. His entire staff is excellent in their field. I just wanted to say thank you so much.

Minimal wait time. The Dr. was personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced. The best eye Dr. visit ever.

My husband's experience with Columbia Eye Clinic has been wonderful. They are experts in their field. When you combine this expertise with a caring staff...it's impossible to compare them to anyone else. Thank you for everything you do Columbia Eye Clinic.

Columbia Eye Clinic is the best place to go if you have vision problems. Dr. William Cain, Jr. performed my Visian ICL surgery, and it was one the best experiences of my life. My eyes were considerably past the point for Lasik surgery, and Dr. Cain met with me over and over, collecting data and running tests, to find the best fit for the surgery. Boy, he was completely accurate! I've never been able to see this well in my life. No glasses or contacts since the surgery, almost 2 years ago.

When I met Dr. Stephen Cross it was hard to believe what this young doctor was telling me-- I was not going to need to wear glasses anymore. Keep in mind that I wore glasses all my life, and here I am at 71 years young with cataracts. Dr. Cross was the answer to my prayers. This young doctor was very professional and did my eye surgery with confidence. His surgery coordinator Mrs. Kelsey was also very professional and helpful. Overall, I am very impressed with the professionalism of Dr. Cross and his team. My quality of life has changed dramatically and I am very grateful!
