Cataract Surgery
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
Buckley Chang Eye Institute offers modern, state-of-the-art cataract care to help patients regain the freedom of clear vision.
We 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. 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.
After the removal of the cataract, the Buckley Chang Eye Institute uses an IOL called Crystalens. Crystalens is the only premium IOL approved by the FDA. It is created to act just as your natural lens would, remaining flexible as you focus your vision.
The cataract removal technique Buckley Chang Eye Institute uses is often preferred to traditional methods because patients are very comfortable during and after the procedure. Because this new technique uses eye drops to numb the eye, 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.
