Does My Child Need to Wear Sunglasses?

They are amazing. Doctors and staff alike. Dr Tenkman called us at home evening after surgery to be sure my husband was doing ok. The office is a bit of an assembly line but for us we wouldn't go anywhere else.

Had surgery on right eye and will have left eye on the 7th of September. I can already see better, I can read signs again! This is nice I've been wearing glasses since I was 5. Contacts forever I'm 60 now and I dont have either one! What a blessing this is. Thanks for eyesight again...everything is much brighter than before....I'm happy..

DR Tenkman is incredible. He takes time to explain procedure and listens to any concerns you may have. A wonderful surgeon and person. All the staff were sweet and caring and made my cataract surgery a breeze!! Thank you bluegrass surgery. Wonderful place!
