1 Your guide to CATARACT SURGERY

2 NORMAL LENS CLOUDY CATARACT LENS MODERN CATARACT SURGERY IS ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PROCEDURES IN THE U.S. SUTURED INCISION SELF-SEALING INCISION THE DOCTORS OF MID FLORIDA EYE CENTER CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SELF-SEALING, NO-STITCH CATARACT SURGERY, AND TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ADVANCED INTRAOCULAR LENSES USED BY DOCTORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THEY HAVE PERFORMED MORE THAN 75,000 CATARACT PROCEDURES. CATARACTS ANATOMY Cataracts are ot a disease but a progressive coditio that causes eye s atural les to become cloudy. Cataracts may be white or take o color, such as yellow or brow. As cataracts become icreasigly opaque ad dese, retia receives less ad less light, ad light that does reach retia becomes icreasigly blurred. This causes gradual impairmet of visio. If left utreated, cataracts ca cause uecessary blidess. SYMPTOMS Commo cataract symptoms iclude blurred visio, halos aroud light, glare, double visio ad reduced color perceptio. To be certai, however, it is recommeded you have a complete eye examiatio by a ophthalmologist or optometrist. HEALTHY EYE CORNEA LENS RETINA Light eters eye through corea, passes through atural crystallie les ad is accurately focused oto retia, providig a crisp, clear image. TREATMENT There is o medical treatmet for cataracts. Early i developmet of cataracts, visio will be improved by chages i eyeglasses. Whe cataracts advace beyod this stage ad visio caot be improved with glasses, cataract (cloudy les) must be removed if patiet desires better visio. The focusig power of eye will be restored with a les implat at time of cataract surgery. SURGERY Cataract surgery is ot a emergecy, but is advisable whe cataract begis to iterfere with ormal daily activities such as golf, teis, drivig (particularly at ight) readig ad sewig. Moder cataract surgery is oe of most successful procedures i U.S., ad our success rates are over 99% (all surgeries carry some risk, which you should discuss with your doctor). Mid Florida Eye Ceter s board-certified, fellowship-traied doctors have cotributed to developmet of self-sealig, o-stitch cataract surgery, ad y ve performed tes of thousads of cataract ad les implat procedures, most usig o eedles, oly eye drops for aessia, ad ow without blades. This techique eables rapid recovery with very little disturbace of patiet s daily routie. If cataract is oly problem with your eyes, you have every reaso to look forward to restored visio. EYE WITH CATARACT CATARACT As eye ages, les becomes cloudier, allowig less light to pass through. The light that does make it to retia is diffused or scattered, leavig visio defocused ad blurry. ADVANCES IN CATARACT SURGERY has had Mid Florida Eye Ceter hoor of beig asked by leadig eye care compaies to participate i cliical trials for may les implats icludig astigmatism correctig (toric) implats ad multifocal implats. From helpig pioeer o-stitch/o-eedle cataract surgery techiques to opeig area s first eye surgery ceter, Mid Florida Eye Ceter has bee advacig eye care i Lake ad surroudig couties for over 25 years. Now, with Laser Cataract Surgery, our patiets have more optios tha ever before for restorig ir visio ad beig idepedet of glasses. EXPERIENCE MATTERS Toger, our iteratioally reowed cataract surgeos Dr. Jeffrey D. Bauma, Dr. Gregory J. Pazo, ad Dr. Keith C. Charles have performed more tha 10,000 successful cataract ad laser procedures. They uderstad how to effectively leverage laser techology to achieve best possible visual outcomes. ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY LENSES Whe paired with right les, Laser Cataract Surgery ca dramatically improve your visio at all distaces. Thaks to our participatio i groudbreakig cliical research trials, we have a diverse selectio of advaced techology leses. We will help you choose oes that best fit your lifestyle. KEEPING AN EYE ON NEW TECHNOLOGIES Itroducig ORA System We re always o lookout for ew techologies that beefit our patiets. ORA System is a revolutioary techology used durig cataract procedures to help surgeos achieve best visual outcomes possible. With ORA, we ca accurately measure your eye s uique characteristics to determie which itraocular les implat (IOL) will fit best. If you ve previously had LASIK, R.K., or laser surgery, ORA ca sigificatly improve your chaces of gettig results you ve always wated.

3 BASIC CATARACT SURGERY Basic cataract surgery is a optio for all patiets but you must keep followig i mid; basic cataract surgery is a maual procedure where surgeo uses a blade for some portios of surgery. The les used i basic cataract surgery is a moofocal (sigle focus) les, which does ot correct ay optical problem with your eye or tha cataract removal. The potetial drawback is that after surgery you may eed to wear glasses for all tasks, eve if you did t wear glasses before surgery. Basic cataract surgery with a moofocal les is covered by isurace but re is a additioal fee for all o-covered services/items. B L A D E L E S S L A S E R C ATA R A C T S U R G E R Y Because re is such a diverse selectio of moofocal leses ad potetial optical problems that may go udetected, we offer Basic Plus cataract surgery as a optio if you choose to forego or are ot a cadidate for laser cataract surgery. We use a rage of highly advaced techologies to capture precise measuremets ad perform a more comprehesive evaluatio. These measuremets ad data y provide are used to pla ad perform cataract surgery to exact specificatios ot attaiable with basic cataract surgery. Basic cataract surgery ad moofocal les are covered by isurace but ot additioal fees associated with this advaced techology ad comprehesive evaluatio. Laser cataract surgery is a opportuity for patiets who wat icreased freedom from glasses. It s most advaced cataract surgery techique available today. The surgery is bladeless, givig surgeos icreased accuracy ad ability to correct astigmatism. Plus, laser s real time 3-D visualizatio, whe combied with our surgeo s expertise, results i a truly customized cataract procedure. Whe paired with advaced techology optios, precisio of laser cataract surgery ca dramatically improve your visio ad lifestyle! Although isurace covers cost of cataract surgery with a moofocal les, y do ot cover additioal fees associated with advaced techology optios performed with laser. LENSX AUTOMATES THE MOST CHALLENGING STEPS OF TRADITIONAL CATARACT SURGERY, SUCH AS PERFORMING CORNEAL INCISIONS, OPENING THE CAPSULE AND SOFTENING AND BREAKING UP THE CATARACT. PRIOR TO THE INTRODUCTION OF THIS LASER, BASIC CATARACT SURGERY INVOLVED THE CREATION OF SEVERAL SMALL INCISIONS MADE MANUALLY WITH A BLADE. WITH LENSX, THE SURGEON CAN CREATE THOSE INCISIONS WITH THE LASER, RESULTING IN A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER DEGREE OF PRECISION.

4 ADVANCED IOLS ARE AVAILABLE TO CORRECT ASTIGMATISM. ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AND IOL OPTIONS CUSTOM FULL RANGE VISION NEAR INTERMEDIATE DISTANCE ASTIGMATISM INTRAOCULAR LENS IMPLANTS-IOL A itraocular les implat (IOL) is a artificial les that is implated durig cataract surgery. Traditioally, moofocal IOLs were used i all cataract surgeries; however people still eeded glasses to correct ear visio, ad glasses or additioal surgery to correct ay astigmatism. Today techologically advaced IOLs that are used i cataract surgery allow you to see well at all distaces with little or o help from glasses. Advaced IOLs are also available to eve correct astigmatism. Oce cataract surgery is recommeded, you will be preseted with differet package optios based o your visual eeds ad what type of IOL best suits your lifestyle. The Basic moofocal IOL is usually covered by isurace as part of cataract surgery procedure. Keep i mid advaced techology IOLs ca provide better visual results ad improve quality of life for may years. MULTIFOCAL ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AND IOL Laser cataract surgery with a advaced techology multifocal IOL is desiged to reduce depedecy o glasses ad sigificatly improve visio at all distaces. This optio is best for patiets watig to be free of glasses for most of ir daily activities. Although isurace covers cost of cataract surgery y do ot cover additioal fees associated with advaced techology optios. Patiets must meet specific requiremets to be a cadidate. CUSTOM DISTANCE VISION Positives: Excellet visio at all visio rages Reduced or elimiated eed for glasses Wavefrot Aalysis For True Visio Diagostics Negatives: May experiece halos aroud lights at ight (usually short term) May experiece difficulty i low lightig situatios, like readig i dark rooms. CATARACT SURGERY WITH IOL IMPLANTATION ASTIGMATISM- CORRECTION AND ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY IOL Combies laser cataract surgery with a advaced techology IOL to provide clear distace visio for patiets with astigmatism, usually without a eed for distace glasses. Although isurace covers cost of cataract surgery y do ot cover additioal fees associated with advaced techology optios. Positives: Excellet distace visio, without glasses, for astigmatism patiets Wavefrot Aalysis For True Visio Diagostics Negatives: Will likely still require glasses for close-up visio BASIC PLUS VISION CATARACT REMOVAL After makig a small icisio i your eye, your surgeo will isert a istrumet about size of a pe tip to remove cataract, usig highfrequecy soud waves to getly break up cloudy les (phacoemulsificatio), ad aspirate it away. LENS INSERTION The cataract-affected atural crystallie les is replaced with a artificial itraocular les implat (IOL). IOLs are typically made of a flexible material, allowig your surgeo to fold ad isert IOL through a very small icisio. Oce iserted, IOL opes, ad its haptics, or arms, ufold to keep it i place.

We will first review your medical history ad perform a thorough eye exam. Oce it has bee determied that a cataract is problem with your visio, advaced measuremet techiques that utilize state-of--art computer ad ultrasoud techology will accurately measure ad determie power of les implat to be iserted ad degree of astigmatism which may be corrected. Next, our surgical coordiator will discuss your IOL Package Optios fiacial arragemets ad review your isurace coverage. You will receive step-by-step, preoperative istructios so that o day of surgery, you will arrive as relaxed as possible. STEP 2: THE DAY OF SURGERY Surgery at Mid Florida Eye Ceter is performed o a outpatiet basis at our fully-accredited surgical ceters, area s first surgery facilities dedicated completely to eyes. I most cases, aestic eyedrops ad mild sedatio are used. However, you will be moitored throughout your surgery by a licesed aessia provider. Usig o eedles meas less risk of complicatios ad use of eye immediately followig surgery. Drs. Bauma, Pazo ad Charles use a techique called phacoemulsificatio (ad laser assistace if you choose) a micro-surgical techique that uses a small probe ad soud waves to liquefy cataract material, which is suctioed out of eye. This techique preserves eye s atural support structure to hold itraocular les implat. The procedure usually takes just 10 miutes, ad most patiets are able to retur to most ormal activities ext day. STEP 3: AFTER SURGERY A LITTLE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. You will be set home with a series of medicated eye drops that you will use over ext few weeks. The precise schedule for se medicatios will be explaied before your surgery ad you will be give a istructio schedule. Our urses will meet with you followig your surgery to aswer ay questios you may have. YAG LASER CAPSULOTOMY RELAX-YOU RE IN GOOD HANDS. Sometimes, after iitial successful cataract surgery, Cataracts do ot grow back. visio ca become blurred whe capsule that supports itraocular les becomes cloudy. This problem ca be easily remedied with laser surgery. Your doctor will use a YAG laser to ope ceter of les capsule. This procedure allows light to pass clearly to retia agai ad takes oly a few miutes to perform. There are o restrictios after procedure ad opeig made is permaet.

She had wor glasses sice age 2, but her deterioratig eyesight was startig to affect her life. Geeva had put away her scrapbook, a favorite pastime of hers, ad was eve havig trouble recogizig eighbors as y walked by her house. As a regular patiet of Dr. Bauma, she was aware of optio for surgery, but had ever felt ready to give it a try util ow. That s what I appreciate about Dr. Bauma, she says. He s very coservative ad ever pushy. But whe I have a problem, he s always right o top of it. Based o Geeva s lifestyle ad eeds, Dr. Bauma recommeded a multifocal AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE: itraocular les implat desiged to improve visio at a rage of distaces. She recalls that o day of surgery, she felt 100% ready. My oly apprehesio was aessia, because I do t usually require very much. But I told aessiologist that I oly eeded a small amout ad y actually listeed, it s ot ofte that y do. I was so impressed that my eeds were heard! Followig surgery, Geeva was amazed that she was able to have such drastic improvemets so quickly. Every time I looked at somethig I could t believe I was seeig it with my bare eyes. I just could t get over fact that I could see at all distaces from readig to workig o computer to drivig without my glasses! Steve S., 56, Mout Dora Residet For some patiets, opportuity to participate i a cliical research study ca be life chagig. For Steve, participatig i a research study was like wiig lottery. He had astigmatism, a eye coditio that causes blurry visio, ad was depedet o glasses for everyday life.
