Dear Patient:

Sight is our most precious gift. Cataracts are the leading cause of vision loss in the United States. Today, we are fortunate to be living in an era when restoring vision dimmed by cataracts is painless and reliable.

This website is designed to give you, your family, and friends the most up-to-date information for cataract care.  If any questions remain after you review this website, please bring them to our attention!

Technological advances in detecting eye disease and new microsurgical procedures make the fear of cataract surgery a thing of the past. Except for medically ill patients, hospitalization is no longer needed. Today, most cataracts and lens implant surgery can be performed as an out-patient procedure. By utilizing a short-acting local anesthetic, we can usually have you back to your routine within a matter of several hours, depending on your general health. The most advanced surgical microscopes, lasers, and other specialized instruments (phacoemulsification) are used to treat your eye problems. Our staff of nurses and technicians have been carefully selected and trained to provide you with the highest level of professional eye care possible.

We hope the information on this website helps you to understand modern cataract treatment. We look forward to answering your specific questions.

Preserving your eyesight is our highest priority.

Kenneth D. Anthone, MD, FACS
