Cataract Surgery
If you are a cataract patient, the exciting news is that there are many different options to suit your specific needs and lifestyle.
Nearly 3 million cataract surgeries are performed annually, making it one of the most common surgical procedures in the United States. Through the amazing advancements in cataract surgery, patients who have experienced dull or blurred vision before surgery are able to see sharper, brighter images following surgery. And with today’s technology many can do so without dependence on glasses. There are even options for patients who have both cataracts and corneal astigmatism.
Dr. R. Douglas Cullom has performed over 10,000 cataract surgeries in his career, utilizing the most advanced surgical and lens technology. The American Academy of Ophthalmology has determined that there is volume to outcomes relationship for cataract surgery*, meaning that high-volume cataract surgeons experience fewer adverse surgical outcomes. At Cullom Eye & Laser Center, we’re here to provide you with the information that will allow you to make an informed decision about your cataracts. During your examination, we can discuss which option is best for you and we will do our best to design a vision plan that is right for you.
