I give Dr. Warren Goldblatt thousands of stars. And he has only done cataract surgery on one of my eyes. The other will receive his skilled attention soon. I can't wait.
Since I was seven, I have worn glasses or contact lenses. Without them, I saw little but blurs, and my glasses had the special lenses that made them less thick. I certainly inherited my grandmother's poor eyesight. Two or three years ago my favorite Eyesight Ophthalmic optometrist, Dr. Christopher Turner, discovered cataracts had developed in my eyes. Finally, this January they were ready for surgery, and Dr. Turner sent me to Dr. Goldblatt. Thank heavens.
I planned to upgrade my cataract surgery process, but time constraints and my terrible vision caused me to abandon that plan. Five days ago Dr. Goldblatt operated on my right eye. My vision improvement was immediate and profound. Dr. Goldblatt called me that evening to check on my progress. I assured him that I was experiencing no discomfit, my halos had largely disappeared, I had no blurriness and my vision was quite amazing. I was doing handsprings.
The next morning, less than 24 hours after my surgery, I had my post-op appointment with Dr. Sullivan and everything looked "perfect." On Thursday, I received a second call from Dr. Goldblatt. He said he had gone over all my post-op information and wanted me to know that less than a day after surgery my right eye had 20/25 vision. He was delighted, and I was over the moon. I told him that my vision had improved since Monday. I can read road signs easily from a distance, night driving is no longer a problem, and colors...particularly blues and whites... are incredibly more vivid. I suspect the vision in my right eye is now 20/20 or close to it. And since I was seven I had had blurred vision in both eyes! Only in one now, and that will soon be addressed. Monovision will be back in my life soon, and I am so looking forward to dumping my readers.
Am I indebted to and grateful for Dr. Goldblatt's markedly professional skills? Beyond words. He is meticulous, direct, and focused. If you are looking for warm and fuzzy bedside manner, perhaps he is not for you. I seek a highly skilled professional for my eyes. Period. To hell with personality. That said, I like Dr. Goldblatt's bluntness and dry humor immensely.
I will review my left eye surgery in three weeks; I am confident that I will be doing handsprings again. I am so looking forward to seeing you again, Dr. Goldblatt, and enjoy your well-deserved vacation
