Default Cataract surgery

St. Luke's Cataract Institute, original office in Tarpon Springs, has been in operation in the area for many years. I can attest to the last 40 years that I have seen nothing but rave reviews of this practice. As an RN who followed many of their patients while in St Pete area, I never heard any complaints.. My spouse and I both had ours done there. They are known world wide and have pictures in the office in Tarpon of the many dignitaries from all over the world who have had surgery there. 3 names that come to me immediately are both the Geo. Bush's, Norman Schwartzcoff (spelling ?) and I could go on. The institute was founded by Dr James Gills and he was also a developer of several types of the intra-ocular lenses used in the surgery. He may no longer practice but his son is still with the practice. Dr Gills would hire no one but the best of surgeons to continue in his stellar reputation. Dr Kathy Ireland was the first physician hired here in TV when he opened this satellite office and I have heard nothing but glowing reviews in my 20 years here in TV. I would not hesitate to have any procedure performed by the surgeons in this practice.
