About Laser Cataract Surgery

While all of our eyes share the same basic structure, every eye is unique. That’s why every eye must be carefully measured and mapped prior to cataract surgery. During laser cataract surgery, the laser uses a range of advanced technologies to capture incredibly precise, high-resolution images of your eyes. These images are then used to guide a specialized laser that assists in performing the procedure to specifications not possible with traditional cataract surgery. Associated Eye Care is proud to be one of the few practices in the world to offer revolutionary laser cataract surgery.

Common Cataract Symptoms?

Signs it’s time to have your eyes checked for cataracts:

Halos appear around well-lit objects

Your vision appears cloudy or blurry

Colors appear muted or dull

Your ability to see contrast has diminished

You experience glare at night that makes it difficult to see

Updating your glasses or contact lens prescription doesn’t improve your vision

You experience heightened sensitivity to bright light

These are the visual symptoms that are common for those patients whose lens has clouded and formed a cataract.

Clareon PanOptix

Associated Eye Care is thrilled to offer our cataract surgery patients the latest in state-of-the-art advancement in multifocal IOLs.This exciting new cataract surgery option will change the lives of cataract patients. Patients will be able to enjoy the full range of daily activities with minimal use of glasses.

The standard monofocal lens used for cataract surgery corrects distance vision only. Most patients still need glasses for intermediate vision activities and reading at near distances. The Clareon PanOptix trifocal lens provides exceptional distance vision. It also allows patients to rely less on glasses for intermediate and close up vision. About 80% of patients in clinical studies were able to function without using glasses at all.

IS CATARACT SURGERY COVERED BY INSURANCE?

Standard cataract surgery, including the use of monofocal lenses that provide clear vision at a single distance, is typically covered by insurance. However, premium lenses, which can correct vision at multiple distances or reduce the need for glasses, usually require out-of-pocket payment. Financing options are available to help manage the cost of these advanced lens packages. Associated Eye Care offers 0% financing for 6, 12, 18 or 24 months*. Our staff is also available to help you determine whether the eye care you need is covered by Medicare.
