What Happens If The Power Goes Out?

There is always someone who
asks, "What happens if the power goes out during
my surgery?" That is a question Dr. Patterson
can easily answer.

Dr. Patterson has a 150
Kilowatt, 480 Volt, 3 Phase backup generator. If
you are like me, you have no idea what that
means. But what I do know is, within 4-seconds
of losing power, Dr. Patterson's whole building
is up and running with full power... and... it
can continue like this for 24-hours.

You see, too many Cataract
surgeries are being performed in less than
perfect condition all over the country. Those
rooms are not even clean, much less sterile. And
the environmental conditions are not
controllable. Unfortunately, too many surgeons
are putting their own financial interests ahead
of their patient's interests. But that's not the
case with Dr. Patterson.

The Best Surgical Facility In The World

Dr. Patterson has invested
millions of dollars to get his facility built
far above the requirements... to his own
specifications. The placement of every cabinet,
every electrical outlet, every light, the
viewing window, and even the doors, were
designed for eye surgery. Dr. Patterson
personally designed every square inch of the
room and ensures it was built to very exacting
tolerances.

But what about the surgery
itself? Well, in the past, successful Cataract
surgery would allow you to see things with
almost 20/20 vision from far a distance, but
glasses or contact lenses were still needed to
read a book or examine something close up.

But because of a new
breakthrough in design and procedure, a new lens
had been invented. This lens is so remarkable;
it even has tiny (microscopic) hinges on either
side that allows it to move forward and backward
with the movement of the muscle in your eye.
