Your guide to CATARACT SURGERY
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.

If you ve previously had LASIK, R.K., or laser surgery, ORA ca sigificatly improve your chaces of gettig results you ve always wated.
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.
