Dropless Cataract Surgery in Santa Clarita!

 Cataracts are the most common curable cause of loss of eyesight.  Sometimes they seem to occur suddenly and other times they progress so gradually that one doesn’t realize what they’re missing.  Sometimes I’ll meet patients with poor vision who insist that they “see fine” and don’t realize that they no longer meet the DMV requirements to have a driver’s license.
Cataract surgery is now at the point where we can correct near-sightedness, far-sightedness and astigmatism.  We can give you the ability to both read and drive without glasses.  We are in a time where cataract surgery can give you a lifetime of visual freedom.  A cataract is a cloudiness of the crystalline lens inside of the eye.  When the lens becomes cloudy it is an increasing source of frustration as symptoms progress.  At first, a patient may experience difficulty with reading fine print or difficulty driving at night because of glare.  As the cataract progresses it interferes causes halos around lights and even problems with daytime driving and reading.  The whole world becomes discolored as one views everything through cataracts.  The results of cataract surgery in experienced hands are so good that there is little reason to procrastinate having cataract surgery.  Surgery is performed in an outpatient setting and painlessly takes less than 15 minutes to undergo.  There is usually no pain whatsoever during or after the surgery.  We are currently offering “dropless” cataract surgery.  With this new method of placing medication inside the eye at the end of cataract surgery, a patient no longer has to endure having to put eyedrops in their eyes for weeks afterwards!  Come and see if you are a candidate for this new method of surgical aftercare following cataract surgery!
It is important that your surgeon discuss the full range of options available to you.  If you’re considering cataract surgery, you can reduce or eliminate your dependence on glasses.  Imagine being able to wear non-prescription sunglasses or being able to hike or cycle without glasses.  Imagine being able to drive or read without the hassle of looking for your glasses.
If you have been diagnosed with cataracts, call 661-259-3937 and schedule an appointment for a cataract evaluation.  We at Helm Vision are the only center in Santa Clarita to offer these services right here in town and under one roof.
