Basilisa’s Story
Seeing the world through a clear lens is something many take for granted, but for 60-year-old Basilisa, this became a reality after undergoing pivotal cataract surgery at Pacific Vision Surgery Center (PVSC).
For Basilisa, the world had gradually become dimmer, the details blurrier. Diagnosed with a cataract in her left eye, she faced increasing difficulties in her daily activities. Cataracts, the clouding of the eye’s natural lens, are particularly disruptive yet treatable with the right medical intervention.
Entrusted with Basilisa’s vision was Dr. Azam Qureshi, a compassionate and skilled ophthalmologist at PVSC, whose expertise in cataract removal and lens implant surgeries promised a solution to Basilisa’s struggles.
My name is Basilisa and I am very happy with the service they provided me,” Basilisa shared, her voice carrying a tone of relief and gratitude. “It was cataract surgery and I recommend to others because they are very good.
Upon arriving at PVSC, Basilisa was greeted with warmth and professionalism, which eased her anxieties about the procedure. The center’s serene environment, combined with the reassuring presence of the medical staff, helped foster a sense of calm and confidence.
Post-operation, the transformation was profound. Basilisa’s vision was restored, allowing her to engage with her surroundings with the same vibrancy and clarity she had enjoyed years before. The surgery not only returned her sight but also her independence and joy in life’s visual pleasures.
PVSC’s commitment extends beyond the operating room. Through initiatives like their Patient Assistance Fund, they ensure that essential surgeries are accessible to uninsured patients, thus broadening their impact within the community.
