Cataract Treatment
New advances and techniques have made cataract surgery one of the most successful and life-improving surgical procedures performed. We offer the latest procedures, including Femto Laser assisted surgery, available to help remove cataracts and restore your vision, including the placement of intraocular lenses (IOL’s). Most cataract surgeries are performed on an outpatient basis and more than 95 percent of surgeries improve vision.
During surgery, the eye’s natural lens is removed and replaced with an intraocular lens. Since being approved by the FDA in 1981, IOLs have offered an effective alternative for cataract patients. Prior to the use of IOLs, cataract patients had to wear very thick eyeglasses or special contact lenses in order to see after the natural lenses were removed during surgery.
No-stitch Cataract Surgery
"No-stitch" cataract surgery is the most advanced surgical treatment for cataracts available anywhere. This state-of-the-art procedure allows for a less invasive operation while maintaining the highest standards of surgical care. The actual procedure usually takes between four to seven minutes, and only drops are used to numb the eye during surgery. The technique was a breakthrough in the treatment of cataracts, because the procedure is performed through a very small corneal incision that is self-sealing. Since the incision area is so small, patients heal quicker and resume normal activities much faster than ever before.
Intra Ocular Lenses
In addition to conventional lenses, specialty and toric lenses are also available.
