The Bochner Eye Institute is one of the only independent eye surgical facilities outside of a hospital approved by the Ontario government. The surgeons are privileged to work with highly trained staff and utilize advanced cataract equipment. Patients can have surgery without cost or can elect to pay for advanced features such as premium implants, astigmatism control or reduction procedures, or laser cataract surgery. There is no hospital in the Province that is able to offer the full range of elective choices. Only traditional cataract surgery is performed in hospitals. At the Bochner Eye Institute both traditional cataract surgery and laser cataract surgery are offered.
