Cataract Surgery A cataract is a clouding or opacification of the natural crystalline lens of the eye. As the lens becomes darker and darker the patients visual acuity drops to levels that limit them from performing their daily activities. A cataract is a clouding or opacification of the natural crystalline lens of the eye. As the lens becomes darker and darker the patients visual acuity drops to levels that limit them from performing their daily activities. Surgical removal allows restoration of vision and in most cases the opportunity to choose the patient’s final prescription through the lens implant power. Surgical removal allows restoration of vision and in most cases the opportunity to choose the patient’s final prescription through the lens implant power. Patients can choose to be clear in the distance, have mono vision or consider a multi-focal (bifocal) lens implant. Patients can choose to be clear in the distance, have mono vision or consider a multi-focal (bifocal) lens implant.

Cataract Surgery Cataract surgery has evolved tremendously over the last 25 years. Incisions made on the eye (scleral)have gone from mm to 2-3mm and are now made on the cornea. Lens implants are now foldable to allow smaller incisions. These changes improve healing time, result in less swelling, produce less astigmatism, allow surgery to be completed without sutures, and can be done with topical anesthetic (drops) alone. That is, the patient is awake with only mild sedation from an IV. Cataract surgery has evolved tremendously over the last 25 years.

Cataract extraction is the most common outpatient surgery performed in the United States today. Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in the world however, because of access and healthcare in the USA they are not a significant cause of “permanent” vision loss

Corneal Transplant The cornea is the clear dome shaped tissue on the front of the eye directly in front of the iris. The cornea is the clear dome shaped tissue on the front of the eye directly in front of the iris. The cornea is referred to as the window of the eye and must remain crystal clear or vision can be reduced.

Pterygium Removal A Pinguecula and Pterygium – what’s the difference? A pinguecula (Latin for “fatty”)is a yellowish, raised growth located on the conjunctiva at 3:00 or 9:00 o’clock. It is commonly thought to be the precursor of a pterygium. As the mound of tissue (pinguecula) grows in size and onto the cornea it is then termed a pterygium.

Glaucoma Surgery Trabeculectomy A trabeculectomy involves removing a tiny piece of the eye right at the place where the cornea connects to the sclera (the white part), and creating a flap to allow fluid to escape the anterior chamber without deflating the eye. A trabeculectomy involves removing a tiny piece of the eye right at the place where the cornea connects to the sclera (the white part), and creating a flap to allow fluid to escape the anterior chamber without deflating the eye. Along with that tiny piece of cornea and sclera comes a piece of iris. The whole area is called the trabeculum. Along with that tiny piece of cornea and sclera comes a piece of iris. The whole area is called the trabeculum. Fluid can then flow out onto the surface of the eye but under the conjunctiva, the clear tissue on top of the white part of the eye or sclera. Fluid can then flow out onto the surface of the eye but under the conjunctiva, the clear tissue on top of the white part of the eye or sclera. The fluid forms a “bleb” on the surface of the eye just under the top eyelid. The fluid is absorbed by the conjunctiva. The fluid forms a “bleb” on the surface of the eye just under the top eyelid.

Various drugs have been used to control healing and scarring over time. Some work on certain individuals some don’t.

The Precision of the Excimer Laser 1000 microns is equal to 1mm. The average corneal thickness is 550 microns. The Excimer laser can remove ¼ of one micron with every pulse of the laser. The Accuracy of this laser is unparalleled throughout the medical field.

Healing is longer thus visual recovery is slower however; still occurs with in 1 week to a month for good vision. There is more potential for discomfort and because medications, specifically steroids, are used longer side effects are more likely.

PRK The procedural difference between PRK and LASIK is that no flap is created. The top layer of tissue, the corneal epithelium, is removed and the laser is then applied to the cornea. A bandage contact lens is then placed on the cornea until complete re-epithelialization has occurred. Vision is blurry during this period. Once the CL is removed vision begins to clear and improves over 3-4 weeks. The procedural difference between PRK and LASIK is that no flap is created.
