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
- halos
- difficulty with fine print
- difficulty reading the captions on TV
- trouble driving at night or in the bright sun
We offers state-of-the-art cataract correction to help patients regain the freedom of clear vision. If you choose we can even reduce or eliminate the need for glasses after the advanced surgery with a specially designed bifocal lens implant
Dr. Malitz uses advanced techniques in performing cataract surgery. Using only a topical anesthetic (No Needles) to numb the eye. Dr. Malitz creates a small incision with a specially designed disposable tool that only touches your eye. He 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, minimally invasive incision (less than 2.5mm!), the eye remains tightly sealed by the natural outward pressure within your eye and no stitches are almost never needed.
The cataract removal technique Dr. Malitz 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. We offer multifocal and accommodating implants that are likely to reduce or eliminate your need for glasses for the rest of your life! The implants are designed to see near, far and intermediate! Other implants are based on 50 year old technology. Ask if you are a candidate for the Tecnis Multifocal, PanOptix Trifocal, Restor Multifocal or Crystalens Accomodating Implant.
Whether it's LASIK, CK, PRK, Cataract Surgery or another state of the art eye care procedure, we'll find the best vision correction option for you.
