OSF Pontiac welcomes new ophthalmologist

John W. Albrecht Medical Center in Pontaic is welcoming a new opthalmologist, Dr. Jerome Swale.

Swale uses a dropless, no stitch cataract surgery method that uses specialized equpment and a smaller incision to remove the cataract or clouded portion of the eye's lense. No sutures are required and the incision self-heals.

It also reduces or eliminates the need for eye drops after surgery and offers many other benefits, including safety, less time in surgery, relief from discomfort and stress, less resk of complications, improved success and faster recovery.

Dr. Swale will be located at 608 Ladd St. in Pontiact, and appointments can be made by calling the Fisher-Swale-Nicholson Eye Center at 815-932-2020.
