"Well worth the 3-hr drive I made to get to my first appt. I told Dr. Safi I will follow him anywhere. He’s the best. I trust him; he’s an Army doctor, and they see worse things up at Tripler because of the military exposure. And he’s always in a good mood; helps put you at ease. I recommend you guys to everyone."

The decision to have cataract surgery depends on how much your vision is affected by the cataract and how it impacts your daily life. Here are some key points to consider:
Blurred or Cloudy Vision: If youre experiencing significant difficulty seeing clearly, especially when driving, reading, or recognizing faces, it may be time to consult with your eye doctor.  Night Vision Problems: Increased glare, halos around lights, or trouble seeing at night can signal that your cataract is interfering with your safety, particularly while driving. If youve gotten to a point where youve stopped driving at night. Its time for a cataract exam now.  Prescription Changes: If your glasses or contact lenses are no longer improving your vision, it could be a sign that your cataract is progressing.  Lifestyle Impact: When cataracts begin to interfere with your work, hobbies, or daily activities, and youre noticing a decline in your quality of life, surgery may be the best option.  Call us today and schedule your cataract exam. We can help walk you through if its the right time for your cataract surgery.
