So why don't all surgeons perform this Advanced Clear-Corneal method?

Cataract surgery is not an easy surgery to perform, and no surgeon is born knowing how to perform it well. The surgery is performed while the surgeon looks through an operating microscope that greatly magnifies the view of the eye. This also means that a very steady hand is important. It is easier to perform the older techniques of cataract surgery, rather than to learn the newer techniques. Like any other highly technical task, it requires natural talent and considerable practice, at least a few thousand surgeries. No other ophthalmologist in
California performs the surgery quite the same way as I do. Some eye surgeons are sharp and are able to learn some of the newer techniques. However, there are still surgeons who still perform out-dated types of surgery, and uninformed patients don’t realize the difference until it’s too late.
