Cataract Surgery
Cataracts are a clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. Surgery involves removing the cloudy natural lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens, called an intraocular lens (IOL). Cataract surgery is a delicate procedure, but is one of the safest surgeries, with a better than 95% success rate.
Elmquist Eye Group is proud to offer bladeless laser-assisted cataract surgery using the LensSx platform which is designed to make the procedure even more precise, safe and accurate and provide you with the best possible visual outcome.
Glaucoma Surgery
Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight.” Because symptoms are usually not painful or noticeable, glaucoma is often not detected until irreversible damage has already occurred.
Glaucoma occurs when pressure builds up inside the eye, leading to progressive optic nerve and retinal damage and vision loss. To effectively treat glaucoma, the internal eye pressure must be lowered. The choice of a treatment will depend on how advanced the glaucoma is, the overall state of the eye, and the preference and lifestyle of the patient.
In addition to other treatments, Elmquist Eye Group provides laser surgery for the treatment of glaucoma. We will discuss the treatment options with you and help you decide which may be best for you. Loss of sight from glaucoma can often be prevented with early treatment.
