Our team is dedicated to research and trials to bring the Jacksonville region the latest technology. Cataracts are the most common cause of vision loss in people 55 and older. As we age, the natural lenses in our eyes can become clouded. Though painless, cataracts can cause hazy vision, unusual glare, poor night vision, or reduced color perception.

People especially notice difficulty in low-light situations like night driving. Using state of the art surgical techniques and the newest innovations in lens implant technology, our surgeons will work with you to restore your vision and allow you to continue to enjoy your active lifestyle.

Cataracts

Report

A cataract is a gradual clouding of the eye's natural crystalline lens. The lens assists with focusing light rays onto the retina, which in turn translates the image to the brain. After the cataract starts to cloud, it is impossible to return the lens to its clear state with drugs or medications. Laser Cataract Surgery will be required.

Laser Cataract Surgery LenSx

Report

Traditional cataract surgery has always involved the use of a diamond blade to create several small incisions during the procedure. With LenSx, these incisions are now made with a laser. This technology allows our surgeons to plan and perform cataract surgeries with laser precision. With this advanced technology, surgeons experience more control and precision; plus, LenSx features real-time diagnostic tools for an accurate visual of what's going on inside the eye during the procedure.When used in conjunction with one of our premium intraocular lenses, LenSx offers patients even more visual freedom from glasses after cataract surgery, helping maintain clear vision at all ranges of vision.
