Traditional Cataract Surgery
Traditional cataract surgery is one of the most frequently performed and safest surgical procedures in the world. It has a well-established track record of predictable, positive outcomes and is highly effective in restoring vision affected by cataracts. Most procedures are minimally invasive, often requiring no stitches, with quick recovery times for the majority of patients.
During the procedure, the cloudy natural lens of the eye is carefully removed and replaced with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This restores your ability to see clearly and reduces or eliminates the visual disturbances caused by the cataract.
At Canyon Eye Associates, we offer the latest advancements in cataract surgery, including modern techniques and premium IOL options designed to meet your individual vision goals—whether that means reducing your dependence on glasses or improving vision at multiple distances.
Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery—also known as Bladeless Laser Cataract Surgery—utilizes advanced femtosecond laser technology to perform several key steps of the cataract procedure that are traditionally done by hand. This innovative approach is designed to enhance precision, safety, and consistency, offering patients a highly advanced alternative to traditional cataract surgery.
At Canyon Eye Associates, we are proud to be among the first practices in Central Ohio to offer this state-of-the-art technology to our patients.
The laser creates precise incisions and softens the cataract for easier removal, helping to optimize outcomes and minimize risks. For patients, this can mean a more customized surgical experience, greater accuracy, and in some cases, improved visual results—especially when paired with premium intraocular lenses.
We invite you to watch our instructional video to learn more about the differences between laser-assisted and traditional cataract surgery, and to see how this advanced technique may benefit your vision.
Cataract Surgery: Safe, Effective, and Life-Enhancing
Cataract surgery is a safe, highly effective outpatient procedure that offers rapid recovery and minimal downtime. Most patients experience noticeable improvement in their vision as early as the day after surgery, allowing them to return quickly to daily activities with enhanced visual clarity.
Thanks to significant advances in surgical techniques and technology, it is no longer necessary to wait until cataracts cause severe visual impairment. Today, patients can benefit from earlier intervention, which not only improves vision but also enhances overall quality of life.
If you are experiencing changes in your vision due to cataracts, we encourage you to schedule a consultation to learn more about your options and how this life-changing procedure can help restore your sight.
