Serving patients seeking cataract surgery in Louisville, Kentucky

At Visium Eye Institute, patients can expect to be treated by a board-certified Louisville ophthalmologist who performs cataract surgery and other eye surgeries almost daily. The Visium team delivers superb medical and surgical care to Louisville patients. They offer several types of advanced intraocular lens implants (IOLs) to replace cataracts. In addition to replacing the eye's cataract-diseased lens, IOLs reduce the patient's dependence on corrective eyewear. Our attentive ophthalmologists work closely with patients to select the right type of IOL for their vision needs.

More About Cataract Removal Surgery at Visium Eye Institute in Louisville

During cataract surgery, the eye surgeon makes tiny incisions in the corners of the cataractous lens. He or she uses an ultrasound technique called phacoemulsification to break up the lens gently and extract it from the eye. The lens is then replaced with a crystal-clear IOL to improve vision after surgery. The particular type of IOL that the Visium ophthalmologist recommends depends on the patient's lifestyle and expectations. Custom lenses used at Visium Eye Institute can improve vision at multiple distances, and even correct astigmatism.
