At 5 years old, Benzonia’s James Love put on glasses. Now 69, he just took them off – he doesn’t need them anymore.
“It’s a big change in my life,” he said. “But I have to put them back on for my wife to know me.”
Love’s change in vision followed eye surgery by ophthalmologist Martin S. Arkin, M.D., at Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital. The hospital boasts state-of-the-art facilities that allow patients to stay close to home. Dr. Arkin’s Frankfort services include precise eye exams and advanced treatment options, including cataract and eyelid surgery, corneal transplants, and corrective eye surgeries.
Love said he went to Dr. Arkin for cataract removal and treatment for glaucoma. His vision had a yellow tinge to it. Following the surgery in the morning, a patch was placed over his eye. He went back that afternoon to have the patch removed.
“It is fantastic. My vision was better the same day,” he said. “Dr. Arkin is very professional and I felt very comfortable having surgery at Paul Oliver – it was easy and close by.”
