Eye Surgery
When award-winning ophthalmologist Dr. Jeffrey Horn talks about PanOptix—the latest advancement in cataract lens replacement surgery—it’s easy to sense his excitement. “I am thrilled that cataract patients now have a solution that enables them to see clearly at all three primary distances—near, intermediate and far,” he beams…
Imagine if there was an artificial eye lens that could be surgically implanted to drastically improve your vision when your eye’s original lens didn’t perform well anymore. The improvement would be so great that you wouldn’t even need to wear glasses or contacts after the surgery…
If you’re experiencing cloudy or blurred vision, trouble seeing at night, or fading colors, it might be time to consider cataract surgery—or, more specifically, refractive cataract surgery which goes above and beyond the standard procedure by replacing your natural lens with an advanced vision-correcting lens.
Age certainly isn’t kind to our eyesight … especially once we hit our 40s. That’s when many of us begin to have difficulty with our up-close vision—and head to the local drug store to pick out multiple pairs of reading glasses.
Tired of wearing glasses and contacts? Prefer to wake up seeing everything picture perfectly? Want to toss your reading glasses in the garbage? If you are over 40 and have been told that everyone must wear glasses eventually, forget it. Get ready to see clearly now thanks to procedures that can correct your vision and make your glasses a thing of the past, like the pet rock.
Each year, millions upon millions of Americans choose to have cataract surgery. And with good reason… the surgery is a wonderful way to improve a patient’s eyesight and, in most cases, reduce their dependency on glasses.
Despite the immense number of cataract surgeries performed each year—about 4 million in the United States alone—there is still confusion about laser-assisted cataract surgery and a lack of clarity around its benefits.
Cataracts are extremely common, so there’s a good chance that you or someone you know will require surgery to correct them.
