    Question about vision after Cataract surgery with lens implants

    JB Case

    After mulling my options for several weeks, I pulled the trigger on a custom JB case today. It will cost a bit more than other options and require 10 weeks of waiting, but I'm glad I finally did it.

    Need professional instructor

    I read the post here about Mark Wilson and was fascinated. I live in northern Nevada so traveling to Illinois would be a stretch but possible. Can anyone recommend a similar training program or instructor in the western US? I can travel but prefer to not travel to California. Thanks
