Procedures
Cataract Surgery
Nearly everyone will develop cataracts at some point in their life, typically near retirement age. Though no one knows why cataracts develop, the only treatment is surgically removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial lens. This process diminishes the need for glasses to see clearly into the distance, but has not been able to correct reading vision. That is, until now!
Corneal Transplantation
When the cornea (clear surface on the front of the eye) becomes diseased or damaged, causing severe vision problems that can’t be reversed, a corneal transplant may help restore vision. Corneal transplants are the most common kind of transplants in the United States with close to 50,000 corneal transplants taking place each year.
