Alicia Galindo
In November of 2013, Dr. Bruce, our Patient Referral Program Lead, met with Alicia, a 49 year-old mother from Pajarillos who lost most of her eyesight due to cataracts. Cataracts is the clouding of the normally clear lens of your eye. It is generally treatable but if left un treated for some time, it interferes with vision.
Alicia was 46 when she suddenly noticed a large change in her eyesight. She began having trouble with normal daily tasks and her daughter now assists her with those responsibilities.
The patient referral team took Alicia to see a specialist. After the appointment, it was decided that her condition could not be reversed through surgery or other means. She was provided with Vision Vivere Lenses.
