At Desert Vision Center, we understand that time is precious—and that cataract surgery is not just a procedure; it’s a life-changing moment. For qualified patients seeking a more convenient cataract surgery experience, our advanced CLEAR in a DayTM cataract procedure offers premium, same-day surgical treatment for both eyes—performed safely and precisely by a fellowship-trained specialist.
CLEAR in a DayTM is an optional, concierge-level experience, designed for patients diagnosed with visually significant cataracts who value convenience without compromising on expert care. Instead of making you wait days or weeks between eyes, we restore your vision in one carefully planned surgical visit—so you can get back to seeing life clearly, comfortably, and confidently.
It’s cataract surgery designed around your life—not the other way around.
“My ophthalmologist suggested that I see Dr. Tokuhara, and boy, was I glad he did! The surgery is absolutely and totally pain free. And before I knew it, I was in the recovery room.”

With CLEAR in a DayTM, we synchronize your care and recovery by treating both eyes in one single visit, so you regain vision faster as your eyes adjust to your new vision in harmony—without sacrificing personalized care or safety.
Unlike typical cataract procedures that are spread over multiple visits, CLEAR in a DayTM allows you to have both eyes treated on the same day—safely, efficiently, and with the meticulous attention of an independently-owned, specialist-led practice.
At Desert Vision Center, we combine cutting-edge technology with a patient-centered, ethical approach—so you can enjoy clear, confident vision sooner.
At Desert Vision Center, we perform same-day bilateral cataract surgery—a streamlined, evidence-based approach that restores vision faster and minimizes disruption. Backed by peer-reviewed research and global best practices, CLEAR in a DAYTM eliminates the outdated delay between eyes that once required days, or even weeks, of waiting and multiple visits.
We’ve moved beyond the “one eye at a time” model still used by many. Today’s advanced surgical techniques and technology allow for safe, efficient treatment of both eyes in a single session—when performed by an experienced surgeon with the right protocols in place.
This modern approach improves binocular recovery, reduces appointment burden, and reflects the highest standards in ophthalmic care. One procedure. One recovery. One clear choice.

No. While cataract surgery is usually covered by insurance, coverage typically applies when each eye is treated on separate days. CLEAR in a DayTM is a self-pay, convenience-based option for patients who prefer to have both eyes treated the same day. We’ll walk you through all costs and candidacy criteria with full transparency.
Insurance carriers consider same-day surgery on both eyes to be elective for convenience purposes, not medically required. Therefore, they reimburse at a reduced rate for the second eye, often making it financially impractical for practices without a self-pay model.
