Safer Eye Surgery and Contact Lens Use

SACRAMENTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Wilmarth Eye and Laser Center, based in Sacramento, CA, announced today that its founder, ophthalmologist Stephen Wilmarth, MD, has written a column describing advances in eye care both for those facing eye surgery and for those who routinely use contact lenses. As Dr. Wilmarth explains, the biggest worry from cataract surgery is contracting a potentially devastating infection called endophthalmitis. Some victims can suffer blindness in the infected eye.
