 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I each had cataract surgery between 25 and 30 years ago here in Las Vegas.  My situation was that each of my eyes was worse than 20/1000.  We moved away to the San Francisco area for six years and then moved back to Las Vegas. I would give Dr. Pizio 6 stars if I could.  She was able to correct my right eye to 20/20 with the cataract surgery.  Her scheduler at the time wanted to schedule the second eye two weeks after the first surgery.  She told the scheduler that the second surgery had to be one week, not two weeks, after the first surgery because of the large corrections.  She did not want me to have no lense in my glasses for the right eye and a coke bottle lense in the eye waiting to be operated on. The right eye had other issues for which a retinologist in the San Francisco area should be left alone.  He did comment that whoever did the cataract surgery did a fantastic job both removing the cataracts and correcting the vision in BOTH eyes. We had no eye issues immediately after the surgery and any other time since the surgery.
