I had cataract surgery at Kaiser, Dr. Snyder. It was a very good experience. Let me know if you have any specific questions. It was about 6 years ago.
I used Dr. Chandra at Shadelands Walnut Creek Kaiser, but that was only because Dr. Vora at Oakland Kaiser was away doing special studies. Dr. Vora's your man. The surgery is really a no-brainer, the drops before and after being the only irksome part. And you'll need a ride to and from. But really, as everyone will tell you, a piece of cake. Good luck!
I had Dr Vora at Kaiser Oakland for both eyes as well as a vitrectomy. (3 different procedures at 3 different times) He knows his stuff, and the surgeries were a piece of cake. The vitrectomy wasn't as easy for recovery as the cataract surgery, but it wasn't bad. You will LOVE your new vision afterward. The world will look amazing.
