Premium Cataract Surgery

Cataracts gradually rob you of important visual details in life.  Sometimes they seem to occur suddenly and other times they progress so gradually that one doesn’t realize what he or she has been missing!  Sometimes I’ll meet patients with poor vision who insist that they “see fine!”  I once met a bus driver as a patient who had 20/200 vision and was still driving!  Fortunately, cataract surgery can restore what was lost.  Today, cataract surgery can provide better uncorrected vision than what was had before the cataracts developed.
In order to offer the best results in cataract surgery today an ophthalmologist needs to be experienced with implanting premium lenses and also be an experienced laser vision correction surgeon.  Today’s lens implants offer the ability to correct near-sightedness, far-sightedness or astigmatism.  Commonly however, a person is either near-sighted or far-sighted and has astigmatism as well.  Multifocal lens implants such as the ReSTor™ lens allow one to have both distance vision and reading vision without glasses.  Astigmatism can be corrected with lens implants or with a corneal astigmatism relaxing procedure.  Higher degrees of astigmatism may need to be corrected with laser vision correction in addition to 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 for a change 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 have a state-of-the-art surgery center and also have a state-of-the-art laser for laser vision correction in the same building.  We are the only center in Santa Clarita to offer these services right here in town.  If you’ve been referred to another doctor outside Santa Clarita for surgery, save your time and your gas!  Upper echelon care is available right here at Helm Vision Group.
