Cataract Surgery Fort Myers

If you or a member of your family is grappling with cataracts, it is crucial to schedule an appointment with your ophthalmologist right away. An ophthalmologist, often referred to as an eye doctor, can conduct a comprehensive eye exam evaluation, answer all your questions about your condition, provide guidance, and recommend the most appropriate course of action – an expert diagnosis that the best cataract surgeon M.D. can certainly deliver.

Contrasting the past when such surgeries were considered risky, required a lengthy hospital stay and was usually postponed for as long as possible, today, cataract surgery is performed on an out-patient basis and takes only a short time under the hands of the best cataract surgeons. Patients can then return to their homes and rest in comfort, avoiding the inconvenience and expense of hospitalization.

LENSX FEMTOSECOND LASER

Snead Eye Group is proud to offer the revolutionary LenSx® laser which provides cataract patients with an optimized refractive cataract surgery experience. Typically, cataract surgeries are performed manually where the surgeon uses a blade to create all of the incisions during the procedure. With the introduction of the first  FDA cleared custom cataract laser, the LenSx® femtosecond cataract laser, the cataract surgeons at SNEAD EYE GROUP have the ability to create incisions and reduce astigmatism with a laser.

The incisions are more accurate and precise, thus eliminating some of the variables that have complicated cataract surgery results in the past. Recent results show that the laser is up to 10x more precise than manual techniques for portions of the cataract surgery. By exhibiting a high level of accuracy and precision, outcome of cataract surgery with LenSx is more predictable. Studies have shown that with cataract surgery using the LenSx®   femtosecond cataract laser at SNEAD EYE GROUP, patients have a better chance of seeing 20/20 or better vs. manual blade incisions.

During your procedure the LenSx® femtosecond cataract laser has many advantages. Prior to cataract surgery, SNEAD EYE GROUP performs a number of tests as well as take measurements to plan your cataract surgery.

While measurements are taken before your procedure, the LenSx® Cataract Laser uses a range of highly advanced technologies including integrated optical coherence tomography (OCT) to capture precise, accurate, high-resolution images of your eyes.

With the data collected from these images – and measurements a plan can be created for your cataract surgery that had not been possible with traditional technology. Cataract surgery with LenSx can be performed at our center as well as our Fort Myers eye surgery center.

 SELF-SEALING INCISIONS

Topical anesthesia and self-sealing incisions have taken cataract surgery to the next level. Many patients are able to see with clear vision much sooner after the surgery. In most cases it is now possible to return to daily activities such as driving and reading almost immediately. With “eye drop” anesthesia, there is rarely the need to inject the eye which delays vision restoration and could cause temporary swelling and skin discoloration.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS

Cataracts tend to develop over time – it can take months or years for a cataract to manifest itself. How do you know when it is time to have a cataract removed? The answer is quite simple. The time to have your cataract removed by our adept cataract surgeons is when you believe your quality of life would be better if you could see better. Only you can decide when it is time to open your eyes to a bright, clear world.

IMPROVED VISION

Because cataract surgery can be performed with just topical anesthesia, patients typically feel nothing during or after the procedure at our center. Previously, a needle was used to inject the eye anesthetic. However, with all the latest advancements, including the smaller incision, we can now use eye drops to numb the eye, which means no stick of a needle before a surgery such as lasik surgery or eye surgery. The major advantage of not having to wear a patch, besides patient comfort, is that patients can immediately see the improvement in their vision.
