We specialize in laser vision correction and cataract surgery. Laser cataract surgery is safer and more painstaking than normal cataract surgery. We tranquil give normal cataract surgery for those wanting an excellent result but don't want laser cataract surgery. If you are visiting for a vision correction assessment, then all the necessary investigations will be done at that time. We have been performing cataract surgery for over 17 years and have implanted most of the currently available intraocular implants. This is why we need reading glasses as we age. Astigmatism is very common and most people, even the ones who don’t wear glasses have some degree of it. Normally, the image of whatever we are looking is focused by our eye onto the retina at the back of the eye. Vision correction means focusing a bright image of whatever one is looking at in the distance, on the retina. So, in a concise sighted person, the image of whatever they are looking at is formed in fore of the retina and to correct it means putting it back. A LASIK procedure has essentially two parts. Once the flap has been created using either a microkeratome or Intralase, the vision correction piece of the procedure takes place. The patient is moved lower the second laser for the vision correction piece of the procedure. Thus, if you are considering this procedure, read the section on cataract surgery. These procedures are relatively straight Coward with minimal risk but as they are intraocular procedures, they carry the alike risks as for other intraocular procedure such as cataract surgery. This was performed with the goal of leaving her with good distance vision without glasses. The laser cataract procedure will in time replace the former method. Astigmatism is common and most people have some degree of it. A key factor in reproducible and accurate surgery is the end position of the implant.This is referred to as the Effective Lens Position.The implant(lens) needs to be precisely the correct distance from the retina so that the image is formed at its focal point. In this type of glaucoma, the pressure within the eye can be lofty or it can be normal. The diagnosis of glaucoma is made by the finding of the combination of a damaged optic nerve, visual field loss and sometimes elevated intraocular pressure although the latter is not required. There are abundant medications available to under intraocular pressure. Patients with narrow angles without cataract but who are lengthy sighted and motivated to lessen their dependence on glasses, can still have their lens removed solving both problems. This is usually very short term but can result in tall pressures.
