At Marshall Eye Surgeons, we provide personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs. Our treatment options include:
Non-Surgical Management: For early-stage cataracts, we offer prescription glasses and lifestyle modifications to help manage symptoms.
Cataract Surgery: When cataracts significantly impact your vision, surgery may be necessary. Our surgeons are skilled in the latest minimally invasive techniques, ensuring a quick recovery and excellent visual outcomes.
A comprehensive exam must be completed by the surgeon prior to scheduling the cataract surgery. At this time, measurements and imaging are performed, and lens options are discussed with each patient. Patients may choose between several lenses including astigmatic lenses and multi-focal lenses.
Cataract surgery is done under topical anesthesia with small incisions. This is a "no stitch" surgery, and this method is referred to as phacoemulsification. The latest foldable lenses are used. This procedure takes about 15 minutes and is performed as an outpatient at the Three Gables Surgery Center. Patients are seen the day after surgery to have the patch removed and to receive instructions concerning their drops. Patients will continue to be monitored for the next several weeks.
