The most common objections patients have for delaying procedures, like cataract surgery, are price and fear. Many of you may be familiar with Bob Watson, CEO of PEC, who recently shared his personal story of lifelong vision problems and the amazing experience he had with fetmosecond laser cataract surgery.

Sightpath Medical is proud to offer our MoFe (mobile femtosecond laser) option to surgeons around the country to help improve the vision and change the lives of countless individuals.
