U
nder most insurance plans you can select any surgeon to
perform your cataract surgery. With new innovations in
cataract surgery, it is important to know your options before
selecting the right surgeon.
With today’s innovative technology, cataract surgery can not only
restore vision, but actually improve a patient’s quality of life.
Scott & Christie Eyecare Associates is one of the region’s most
innovative and experienced eye physician and surgeon groups,
delivering advanced, customized medical treatments with state-of-
the-art ocular diagnostics and femtosecond laser technology (laser
cataract) designed to optimize vision. Combining this technology
with 10 years of cataract Multi-Focal Lens Implant technology
experience, Scott & Christie Eyecare Associates can offer cataract
surgery as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for patients to achieve
better vision, removing cataracts and correcting refractive error all in
one precise procedure—thus leaving patients with a fine-tuned full
range of vision.
Traditional vs. Laser Cataract Surgery
Traditional cataract surgery, which is covered by Medicare and
other insurances, involves the implantation of a single-vision lens,
which provides good distance vision but most often results in
patients wearing glasses for reading and intermediate tasks. It also
leaves patients with astigmatism, since the surgery doesn’t correct
it. With laser cataract surgery, many key steps of the procedure
that were manually performed can be completed with precision
using the laser (including simultaneous correction of astigmatism,
if needed), leading to a customized vision treatment and a more
gentle procedure. Surgeons with access to and experience in these
combined technologies can offer patients a full range of vision,
reducing the dependency on or even eliminating the need for
eyeglasses after surgery.
Selecting a Surgeon
Cataract surgery has become a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
When selecting a surgeon to perform cataract surgery, patients
should ask these important questions: Can my surgeon explain to
me all of my options? Can my surgeon provide me access to the
latest FDA-approved technology? Is my surgeon experienced with
both traditional and innovative cataract surgical
techniques and eyecare? For patients of Scott &
Christie Eyecare Associates, the answer to these
questions is a resounding yes.
The physicians and staff walk patients
through all of their options based on their
individual needs and desires, offering them
a customized procedure to meet their
individual lifestyle.
