Cataract Surgery

Cataract Treatment

Cataract surgery is necessary to remove the cloudy lens which is then replaced by an artificial lens called an intraocular lens (IOL). Until recently, all IOL’s were fixed for one distance; therefore requiring most patients to need glasses after cataract surgery. Today, there are many different lens options available and depending on your individual needs and lifestyle, our surgeons will help you decide which lens is best for you.

No-Shot, No-Stitch, No Patch Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery is performed on an outpatient basis at our own surgery center, the newest, most state-of-the-art facility of its kind in the area. A majority of our cataract surgery patients require no needles since their eyes are numbed using eye drops only. By using eye drops to numb the eyes rather than an injection, a cataract surgery patient experiences a much more rapid recovery from treatment and is not required to wear a patch over the eye.
