Q: What advancements in cataract surgery do you provide?
A. Each patient is unique, and we tailor treatment options accordingly. We use the latest technologies in cataract surgery, such as laser-assisted cataract surgery and premium lens implants, to meet each patient’s specific goals. Our surgical facility is uniquely in-house, which allows us to provide unmatched quality in patient care.
Q: What is the benefit of the Light Adjustable Lens for patients?
A. The Light Adjustable Lens is probably the most exciting advancement in premium lens implants in decades. After cataract surgery, we can adjust the prescription of your new lens implant while it is in your eye. This provides for precision customizability and allows us to guarantee the best possible result for our patients.
Q: What kind of refractive procedures do you provide for younger patients?
A. We provide comprehensive treatment options for younger patients wanting to get rid of their glasses. An exciting advancement in refractive surgery today is the Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL). With ICL, we can provide superior quality vision without altering the shape of your cornea. This allows us to avoid the unwanted side effects of traditional laser procedures, such as dry eye.
