• Macular Degeneration
  Macular degeneration. Also known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), this condition affects the center part of the retina, the macula. This area is needed for the sharp, central vision that is used during everyday activities such as driving, reading or working with tools. This condition is a leading cause of vision loss in people over the age of 60 years old. Treatment can slow the loss of vision, but it will not restore vision that has already been lost.

• Cataracts
  Recent advancements in cataract treatment have significantly improved within the past decade. Technological innovations have made it easier than ever to achieve excellent visual outcomes while addressing cataracts. Previously, cataract patients had limited options with monofocal implantable lenses, which only corrected vision at one distance. Although the monofocal lens is still available, it falls short in correcting the full range of vision.
• Cataract Surgery
  Cataracts occur when the lenses become cloudy, impairing clear vision and causing glare. Sadly, cataracts cannot self-resolve. Cataract Surgery requires a small incision to break up and remove the hardened lens tissue safely. After removing the damaged lens, the surgeon will implant a replacement lens to restore visual function and acuity.
