Awesome! Dr. Rao clearly explained my options and together, we put a surgical plan in place. I did, however, forget to ask one question- will this surgical procedure address the film partially covering my right pupil as a result of the cataract replacement surgery performed by Dr. Laisos? Please respond. Thanks 449.315.3897
