Description
Cataract surgery is one of the top five medical procedures in the U.S. And now there's a quicker way to give you clear vision back. It is all done in the doctor's office in about 15 minutes.

Now, at the age of 67, Ophthalmologist Dr. Brendon Sumich said it's time to remove his cataracts.
