After completing four years of medical school, they undergo 5 to 7 years of specialized ophthalmology training, including a residency and possibly fellowship programs. This extensive training covers everything from general medical care to the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases using medical, surgical, and laser techniques. To practice in British Columbia, ophthalmologists must pass the Medical Council of Canada exams, complete a five-year residency in an accredited program, and succeed in the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada's exams.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-751d7a0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"751d7a0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f1af5c8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f1af5c8\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"service-2\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c869459 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c869459\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c6502c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5c6502c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8cdaf43 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8cdaf43\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-292c9ff elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"292c9ff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">OUR SERVICES<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba315e3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ba315e3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Refractive Cataract Surgery\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e633dee elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e633dee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Cataract surgery involves breaking up the cloudy lens into small pieces, which are then carefully removed through a small, self-sealing incision.

However, when cataracts significantly impact vision, surgery is often the best option. Dr. Ramstead specializes in refractive cataract surgery, performed without needles or stitches, using premium intraocular lenses (IOL) and technologies to replace the cloudy lens. This allows not only vision that is more clear but often reduced dependency on glasses to function.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card \">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-3-f35c7ef\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-60f5d0a66346567390c4\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-60f5d0a66346567390c4\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-60f5d0a66346567390c4\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">Is it Safe?<\/span>\n\n                            \n                                <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n                                        <i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"icon-open icon-right icon icon-down-arrow1\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n                                        <i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"icon-closed icon-right icon icon-up-arrow1\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-60f5d0a66346567390c4\" class=\" collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-3-f35c7ef\" data-parent=\"#accordion-66346567390c4\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            <p>Like any surgery there are always risks involved.
