Care before and after your surgery
Dr. Ferrin is Arizona State Board certified to prescribe diagnostic and therapeutic medications to treat ocular conditions. He provides pre- and post-operative care for ocular surgeries (including cataract, glaucoma, LASIK, retinal, and eyelid procedures), treats eye trauma, and performs the removal and clinical management of ocular foreign bodies.
That means the checkups before your procedure and the follow-up visits after it can happen here in Safford, instead of a long drive back to the surgeon’s office.

Is it time for cataract surgery?
Early-stage cataracts are managed conservatively through updated prescription eyewear, enhanced home or work lighting, and anti-reflective lens coatings. When lens clouding significantly interferes with reading, working, or driving safely at night, surgical intervention is required.
