Cataract Surgery
Southwest Eye Institute offers state-of-the-art premium cataract correction to help patients achieve freedom of clear vision.

Our Surgeon, Dr. David Malitz, uses advanced proven techniques 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. After using this special small incision, the eye remains tightly sealed by the natural outward pressure within your eye and no stitches are usually required.
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

LASIK
For most patients, a procedure called Laser In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) may be the best way to achieve clear and more natural vision. This procedure had its origins back in the 1960s and has evolved over the years into a popular and effective operation. In LASIK, an excimer laser is used to precisely reshape the surface of the cornea. The excimer laser is a unique type of cold laser that does not burn or cut tissue. Instead, it gently breaks the molecular bonds between cells so that controlled amounts of tissue can be literally vaporized away, one microscopic layer at a time.
During the five minute procedure, patients remain awake with only the designated eye anesthetized with drops. Good vision is often possible on the day following the surgery. Eye drops are used for approximately one week. Protective eye shields are recommended while sleeping during the first few nights. With few exceptions, patients can return to work the next day.
Often patients are concerned more about the cost of LASIK rather than the quality. Naturally this is a mistake. Most centers that have a discount LASIK price advertised actually charge much more when the patient presents for LASIK treatment. We offer custom solutions for almost any budget with LASIK or PRK Laser Vision Correction in Nevada starting at less than $1/day/eye!
If you have been told you are not a candidate for LASIK in the past, schedule a FREE Screening exam. We offer a wide range of options that can allow even the most extreme prescriptions to be corrected with procedures like the Staar Implantable Contact Lens and C-Lex (Clear Lens Exchange) which is designed to correct near, far and intermediate vision in just 10 minutes in our Certified Surgery Center.
