Cataract Surgery
Cataracts are one of the most common causes of vision loss, creating cloudy or blurry vision that interferes with daily life. Cataract surgery replaces the cloudy natural lens with a clear intraocular lens, restoring sharp vision and improving quality of life. At Cornerstone Eye Associates, patients benefit from advanced surgical techniques and a variety of lens options to match their lifestyle.
LASIK
LASIK surgery reshapes the cornea with laser technology to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure is fast, virtually painless, and delivers lasting improvements in vision. Many patients enjoy clear sight without glasses or contacts within just 24 hours. For those seeking freedom and convenience, LASIK is one of the most popular and effective options available today.
Monovision LASIK
As people age, presbyopia makes it harder to see up close without reading glasses. Monovision LASIK addresses this by adjusting one eye for distance and the other for near vision, reducing the need for readers while maintaining everyday clarity. This option can be an excellent solution for adults in their 40s and beyond who want independence from glasses in most activities.
Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK)
PRK is an alternative to LASIK for patients with thinner corneas, irregular corneal shapes, or lifestyles that make LASIK less suitable. Instead of creating a flap, PRK gently removes the outer layer of corneal cells before reshaping begins. Recovery takes slightly longer than LASIK, but results are just as effective, giving patients lasting freedom from glasses or contacts.
Types of Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)
During cataract surgery, the natural lens is replaced with an intraocular lens, and patients can choose from several types. Options include monofocal lenses for distance vision, multifocal or extended depth of focus lenses for a range of clarity, and toric lenses to correct astigmatism. With personalized guidance, patients can select the lens that best matches their lifestyle and visual goals.
