“I had had two eye surgeries prior to developing a cataract. I was living in a small town and was told by my optometrist during a routine eye exam about the cataract. He stated I would need an eye surgeon who was extremely skilled to operate on that eye. I had no confidence in the two doctors I consulted locally who did not seem qualified.

I remembered that I had QualityCare Connect and two hours later was given three well-qualified eye surgeons within 60 miles from home. I was very happy with the results and have perfect vision now. Unfortunately, that has not been the case for some of my friends who had their eyes done locally. I am very grateful."
