“Now that I have my surgery I see much better. The ReStor lenses are a great advancement in treatment for cataracts and I am grateful for the opportunity to have had the procedures done at the Jones Eye Clinic. The staff and doctors were very helpful in explaining the procedure and answering all my questions. I would do it again in a minute. Dr. Jones and his staff did a great job!”
