Dr. Rodriguez Explains

At Elmquist Eye Group, we believe informed patients make the best decisions about their care. These videos are designed to answer common questions, walk you through what surgery is like, and help you explore your vision options in a clear and approachable way.

Learn What to Expect Before Surgery

Preparing for surgery can feel overwhelming, but understanding the process makes it easier. Dr. Rodriguez has created a series of short videos to explain cataract surgery, lens implant options, the benefits of in-office procedures, and more — so you can feel confident every step of the way.

What Happens During Cataract Surgery

Dr. Rodriguez explains how cataract surgery restores clear vision by replacing your clouded natural lens with a clear artificial one. Learn what the procedure involves and what makes it one of the safest, most effective surgeries performed today.

Lens Options for Clearer Vision

Choosing the right lens implant is one of the most important decisions you’ll make about cataract surgery. In this video, Dr. Rodriguez reviews the different options — from standard lenses to advanced designs that can reduce your need for glasses — and explains how to find the best match for your lifestyle.

Why In-Office Surgery is Different

Our accredited in-office surgical suite offers the same safety standards as a hospital, with added convenience and comfort. Dr. Rodriguez shares what makes this setting unique — from no IV or fasting requirements to being cared for by the same familiar team you already trust.

Life After In-Office Cataract Surgery

Sometimes the best way to understand what surgery is really like is to hear directly from someone who’s been there. In this video, one of our patients shares their personal experience with cataract surgery at Elmquist — from what it was like before treatment to how life has improved after. Their story shows how clearer vision can bring new confidence and freedom.
