What makes our practice different?
1) Laser assisted cataract surgery – this option allows the laser to take over several of the critical steps in the surgery, adding precision that is not possible even with the best surgeon. Many practices don’t have access to this laser.
2) Astigmatism control – we offer choices for astigmatism control to minimize the need for glasses from toric (astigmatism correcting) lens implants to limbal relaxing and laser assisted reading incisions
3) Presbyopia control – presbyopia is the condition that requires you torequire reading glasses to see both distance and near. We offer all types from the full correction multifocal lenses to extended focus to pseudo accomodating lens implants
4) Simultaneous glaucoma surgery – the Istent can be placed at the time of cataract surgery, and we plan on providing the upcoming Cypass implant as well
5) We offer the option of infusing most of the postoperative drops at the time of surgery, adding convenience to your surgery and saving both money and time
6) Owning our own surgical center cuts the Medicare copay almost in half, saving you significant money
Most people get some hardening and then clouding of their eyes naturally clear lens after they mature. This is first noticed at about age 40 when reading glasses are needed. This hardening and clouding may progress to become so dense that it interferes with vision and glasses don’t make things any better. This is noticed by the need for brighter light when reading, by difficulty to see light contrast print, by the inability to see where the golf ball went, and by “discomfort” with driving after dark. When this cataract prevents people from doing what they want, it can be replaced with an intraocular lens.
Many people with cataracts may experience symptoms such as:

Modern cataract surgery corrects significant near- and far-sightedness without the need for hospital outpatient care and without the need of injections around the eye or patching the eye. If needed, it may be combined with surgery for astigmatism, glaucoma surgery or corneal transplant. Recently, multifocal lens implants have become available allowing for mush better correction of both distance and reading vision without glasses. Lens implants for astigmatism also are available (most insurances don’t cover the extra cost of these “premium” implants). If you wish to have one of the newer lens implants, please discuss this with Dr. Gordon and notify us a week before the surgery – they must be specially ordered
