Michael Furlong, MD, is a fellowship-trained cataract surgeon with a specialization in small-incision cataract and laser refractive surgeries. Dr. Furlong has studied under world-renowned cataract and refractive surgery leader Dr. Howard Gimbel and has taught ophthalmology techniques worldwide. In recognition of his exceptional skills, Dr. Furlong has been named one of San Jose's "Top Docs" numerous times by his peers, as well as one of LaserVision Centers' "Top 5 Surgeons Nationwide," "Top 50 Practices" and "Top 50 Surgeons Nationwide."

More than 80 percent
of patients with
AcrySof ReSTOR
never wear glasses.

Dr. Furlong performs advanced small-incision cataract surgery and also provides his patients with the option to choose advanced intraocular lens implants (IOLs), allowing them to eliminate the need for glasses for most daily activities. Tecnis and ReSTOR lenses correct vision for both distance and near activities. Crystalens accommodating lenses help patients focus on objects at various distances and Toric lenses are used to correct astigmatism. During the procedure, Dr. Furlong makes a tiny incision in the eye to extract the clouded lens and replace it with an IOL.

In addition to cataract surgery, Dr. Furlong offers refractive lens exchange (RLE) for patients with presbyopia who wish to correct near and distance vision, again allowing patients to achieve clear vision while reducing their dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
