Dr Rao has been fantastic from the beginning. After my cataract surgery I had floaters that grayed out my vision. The surgery to remove the floaters has been even better than I hoped. My vision is crystal clear. I don't need to wear any eyeglasses after having them for 60 years. I so appreciate Dr Rao! I am grateful. Thank you Dr Rao!!!
