What is a Cataract?

Imagine how difficult it would be to read, drive a vehicle at night, or see a loved one’s face because of clouded vision. The loss of clear vision, due to cataracts, is one of the most common vision problems in the world today. Cataracts cause a gradual yellowing and clouding of the normally clear lens in the eye. They can occur at any stage in life but are most commonly found in people ages 55 and older. However, cataracts are a natural part of the aging process. Fortunately, cataracts are completely curable with modern medical technology.

Cataract Surgery

During cataract surgery, a patient's cloudy natural cataract lens is removed and replaced with a synthetic lens to restore its transparency. After the natural lens is removed, an artificial intraocular lens implant is inserted. Cataract surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist in an ambulatory setting rather than an inpatient setting. Topical anesthesia is used in addition to some relaxing medication, which ensures a comfortable experience for the patient.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of the Laser Guided Custom Cataract Procedure?

The Laser Guided procedure allows your surgeon to analyze your vision and tailor your treatment. This method continuously monitors measurements and provides instantaneous calculations of the patient's eye during surgery, allowing the surgeon to customize each patient's procedure precisely to their visual needs.

How will the Laser Guided Custom Cataract Procedure enhance my vision?

Measurements are taken after the clouded cataract is removed, when the surgeon has a clear view of your eye. Those calculations determine which lens implant is best for your specific eye. This approach has proven to be invaluable for making adjustments in the surgery room, allowing the surgeon to confidently refine the patient's lens power for an optimal visual outcome. This choice provides patients the best chance for the clearest possible vision.

How effective is the Laser Guided Custom Cataract Procedure?

Compared to basic cataract surgery, the Laser Guided option is proven to significantly improve your visual outcome, allowing you the clearest possible vision.

Will I feel anything while the measurements are taken?

No, on the day of surgery, patients are given an intravenous conscious sedation and anesthetic drops are used to numb your eye in order to ensure you are comfortable throughout your cataract procedure.

Is the Laser Guided Custom Cataract Procedure safe?

Cataract surgery is one of the safest surgical procedures available, with three million surgeries performed in the United States each year. By selecting the Laser Guided procedure, you will have the security of knowing you can receive the best possible outcome.

Does the Laser Guided Custom Cataract procedure take longer?

The Laser Guided option adds a small amount of additional time to the procedure, usually around 2-3 additional minutes, but the extra time is well worth it when considering the enhanced visual outcome it can provide you for the rest of your life.
