It’s Never Been a Better Time To Schedule This Impactful Surgery

When cataracts begin to form, the symptoms can get in the way of everyday life. Your vision may become blurry or cloudy. Colors may seem yellow or faded. You may feel more sensitive to light or have difficulty driving at night.

As it becomes clear that you need cataract surgery, you may be focused on the relief you’ll feel when these symptoms go away. However, there’s even more to look forward to with cataract surgery in Kansas City. Many advancements in care now take your needs, goals, overall health, comfort, and safety into consideration.

Premium Lens Options Are Available With Cataract Surgery

Basic cataract surgery removes your eyes’ natural lenses and replaces them with standard intraocular lenses (IOLs), allowing you to see at a single distance — either near, intermediate, or far. These lens types are known as monofocal lenses.

However, cataract surgery today offers a range of lens options that are customized to your particular vision needs and goals, along with our doctor’s recommendations:

  • Combine two different monofocal lenses — one in each eye — for blended vision that allows you to see more clearly at two distances.
  • Consider multifocal IOLs, which allow you to see at multiple distances in each eye.
  • For those with astigmatism, toric IOLs can correct this vision irregularity.
  • Light Adjustable Lenses™ (LALs) allow you to fine-tune your vision with UV light during short follow-up visits.
  • Superior cataract surgeons also provide LASIK to further refine your vision after your surgery.

Today’s cataract surgery options not only remove the symptoms of cataracts but also enhance your vision and lifestyle. Schedule a consultation with a cataract surgeon in Kansas City to find out which option is best for your eyes.

Experience a Unique Approach to Cataract Surgery

Although some Kansas City cataract surgery providers conduct procedures at an ambulatory surgery center and may only be able to treat one eye at a time, there’s a far more convenient way to receive care.

Leading cataract surgeons now offer in-office procedures for both eyes, which ensure convenience and comfort for patients:

  • Convenience: In-office surgery is a predictable, easy way to receive care. Attend all your appointments, including your free consultation, surgery, and post-op visits, in the same convenient location. You also won’t have to make two trips for each eye when you get surgery on both eyes the same day.
  • Comfort: Cataract surgery candidates get a sense of security and peace of mind by meeting with familiar staff members during every appointment. This is particularly important for those who experience some nerves before a medical procedure.

The Researched Benefits of Cataract Surgery Are Growing

Researchers continue to release studies on the ways that cataract surgery benefits eligible patients. Major medical journals have determined this procedure assists with much more than getting rid of the symptoms of cataracts.

Additional benefits of cataract surgery include:

  • Reduced falls, injuries, and accidents.
  • Improved mental health.
  • Reduced risk of dementia.
  • Increased quality of life.

When you choose Kansas City cataract surgery, you can clear up your cataract symptoms and approach life with a new outlook. You also make an investment that has proven to benefit some patients’ physical and mental health. Every moment becomes an opportunity to make memories, savor time with family and friends, and do the things you love.
