Cataract removal is one of the safest and most effective surgical procedures in the world today. In fact, more than three million cataract surgeries are performed each year in the United States. The operation entails making a tiny incision in the eye and inserting an instrument about the size of a pen tip to break up, and remove the cloudy lens. Once the cloudy lens is removed, a Cataract replacement lens, or “IOL,” is inserted through the same tiny incision and set into its permanent position.
Coastal Vision Medical Group Medical Group is excited to be the first practice in Orange County to offer the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) to Cataract patients.
Today, with the wonderful advances in intraocular lens (IOL) technology, Coastal Vision Medical Group is able to offer a variety of lens technology options to tailor a customized cataract treatment to fit your individual lifestyle.
With advancements in multifocal lens technology, implantation of these lenses after cataract surgery may provide patients with the advantages of reducing or even eliminating dependence on glasses altogether. Read more about the various lens options available at Coastal Vision Medical Group
Incisions during cataract surgery are necessary to allow your surgeon to gently break up and remove the cloudy lens. Your new replacement Intraocular Lens (IOL) is also put into place through this incision.
At Coastal Vision Medical Group, we use only the latest surgical technologies to give all our patients the very best outcomes. Coastal Vision Medical Group was the first center in Southern California to use the ORA® System with VerifEye™ for cataract surgery.
