As many people age, cataracts, or clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye, are an increasingly common problem.
Symptoms of cataracts include:
- blurred vision
- light sensitivity
- double vision in one eye
- poor night vision
- color distortion
- glare
Southwest Eye Institute offers state-of-the-art cataract correction to help patients regain the freedom of clear vision.
Our Surgeons use the latest technique in performing cataract surgery. Using only a topical anesthetic to numb the eye, the surgeon creates a small incision and uses high-energy sound waves to break the cataract into microscopic particles which are then removed from the eye. To compensate for the removal of the eye's natural lens, an intra-ocular lens (IOL) is implanted into the eye. Drs. Malitz and Singh have extensive experience in premium lens implants. These lenses allow for the freedom from glasses or contact lenses. With a standard lens your eye is designed to focus at one distance (near, intermediate or distance). With premium lens implants, the design allows for clear vision in all three zones. Ask which lens will suit your visual needs, we are experts in the Restor, Crystalens and have experience with the Array, ReZoom and are knowledgable with respect to the Technis and Synchrony. After using this special small incision, the eye remains tightly sealed by the natural outward pressure within your eye and no stitches are required over 90% of the time!
The cataract removal technique Southwest Eye Institute uses is often preferred to traditional methods because patients are more comfortable during and after the procedure. Because this new technique uses eye drops to numb the eye, usually the need for an anesthetic shot, stitches, or a post-surgery patch is eliminated. Another advantage is that most patients notice a rapid visual improvement with this technique.
Whether it's LASIK, CK, PRK, Cataract Surgery or another state of the art eye care procedure, we'll find the best vision correction option for you.
