More About Cataract Surgery and Refractive IOLs at Durrie Vision

When performing cataract surgery, Dr. Stahl provides a topical or local anesthetic as well as a mild sedative to prepare the patient for surgery. Next, he creates a small incision in the cornea. Ultrasound is used to break the cataract-damaged lens into minute particles, which are then removed from the eye through the incision. Once the natural lens is removed, Dr. Stahl inserts the intraocular lens implant into position. The surgery is not painful, and in most cases no sutures are needed because the incision is small and self-healing. Following surgery, the patient is required to use antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drops for a few weeks as the eye heals.

For patients undergoing cataract surgery, Dr. Stahl offers the latest premium IOLs, including ReSTOR, ReZoom and Tecnis. These multifocal lenses treat both nearsightedness and age-related farsightedness, or presbyopia. Dr. Stahl can also implant Crystalens, a type of accommodating lens that shifts its position in response to movements of the eye's muscles, allowing sharper vision at various distances. In addition, Dr. Stahl offers single-focused lenses. The AcrySof Toric lens is a single-focused lens that treats astigmatism. Aspheric lenses are a type of single-focused IOL designed to improve contrast sensitivity. With so many choices available, Dr. Stahl will assist each patient to select the lenses that best meet their individual eye-care needs.
