Penny R. has lived in Southwest Florida for 12 years. A retired school teacher, Penny has been wearing either glasses or contacts since she was four years old! So when she began to struggle with night vision and a general cloudiness in her vision, she wondered if it was just time for an updated vision prescription or if it was the beginning stages of cataracts.
She’d heard great things about Collins Vision from several friends and decided to schedule an appointment at the Fort Myers location. It turned out to be a life-changing decision. Penny’s vision challenges weren’t due to needing new contacts. It was cataracts.
“I had read about the new advances in cataract surgery and was excited to see if anything could be done for me,” said Penny.
Remarkable Results with Modern Cataract Surgery
When Penny describes her vision post refractive cataract surgery with a premium lens, she uses words like “remarkable” and “unbelievable”.
“You have to understand, my vision was so bad, I couldn’t see the numbers on my bedside alarm clock,” she explained. “Now? I can see perfectly clearly. I don’t need contacts. I don’t need reading glasses. I actually didn’t realize my vision could be this good. I’m just so grateful!”
By choosing a premium lens, Penny was making a lifestyle decision about how she wanted to live after cataract surgery. And she decided that at 67 years young, she wanted visual freedom; freedom from the restrictions and hassles of glasses, contacts and readers.
“At Collins Vision, we specialize in Refractive Cataract Surgery, where the goal is to remove your cataract and reduce your dependency on glasses at the same time by correcting refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia with a premium intraocular lens,” said Dr. Michael Collins, board-certified ophthalmologist and founder of Collins Vision. “It’s an advanced procedure that goes beyond standard cataract surgery to deliver amazing results designed to fit your unique vision and lifestyle.”

So warm and friendly. Every aspect of my experience was phenomenal.”
