Either you have been diagnosed with a cataract or you have symptoms that suggest you have a cataract.  As many people age, cataracts, or clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye, are an increasingly common problem.  Perhaps your local eye doctor has recommended a local surgeon.  This may be your best choice or may not.  We are experts at cataract surgery and when it comes to your eyes, you need an expert.  All surgeons are not the same and all techniques are not the same. 
Did you know that some skilled surgeons can perform catarct surgery with no stitches, no patches and no needles in as little as 10 minutes with little or no pain or sedation?  Others 

take over an hour and use multiple sutures and create a very large incision that weakens the eye and can create astigmatism.  Our surgery is performed as an out patient (no admission to a hospital is necessary) and is generally covered by your health insurance.  Even if you have no insurance, the total cost of the procedure can be as little as $2900 per eye.

If you have theses symptoms:

• blurred vision
• light sensitivity
• double vision in one eye
• poor night vision
• color distortion
• glare

you may have a cataract.

Southwest Eye Institute offers state-of-the-art cataract correction to help patients regain the freedom of clear vision.

We offer board certified and eligible Surgeons that use the latest technique in performing cataract surgery. Using only a topical anesthetic to numb the eye, the surgeon creates a small incision and uses high-energy sound waves to break the cataract into microscopic particles which are then removed from the eye. To compensate for the removal of the eye's natural lens, an intra-ocular lens (IOL) is implanted into the eye. After using this special small incision, the eye remains tightly sealed by the natural outward pressure within your eye and no stitches are usually required.

The cataract removal technique Southwest Eye Institute uses is often preferred to traditional methods because patients are more comfortable during and after the procedure. Because this new technique uses eye drops to numb the eye, usually the need for an anesthetic shot, stitches, or a post-surgery patch is eliminated. Another advantage is that most patients notice a rapid visual improvement with this technique.
Whether it's LASIK, CK, PRK, Cataract Surgery or another state of the art eye care procedure, we'll find the best vision correction option for you.
