A cataract is a “clouding” in your eye’s lens. Located behind your iris, your lens works like a camera lens. The retina then sends messages to your brain, making vision possible.
The nine physicians of The Eye Center of North Florida are the group of doctors that are responsible for the introduction of this new technology into our area. There are only 25 of these lasers in the world, 15 in the nation, and The Eye Center is the first practice to have one in the state of Florida. Dr. Bret Fisher and Dr. Paul Garland, both surgeons at The Eye Center, look forward to using this new technology for their patients and revolutionizing the way cataract surgery is performed.
Advancements in Intra-Ocular Lens technology now allows the surgeons at the Eye Center of North Florida to offer patients options for vision at all distances, without the need for glasses after cataract surgery. Based on your lifestyle and activities, your doctor will discuss these exciting choices with you to determine which alternative will be best for you.
Cataract Surgery has experienced fascinating improvements in the last several years. At The Eye Center of North Florida we strive to stay at the forefront of technology used in advanced cataract surgery. We are proud to be the first practice in Northwest Florida to have the Haag-Streit Lenstar LS900.
A cataract is a “clouding” in your eye’s lens. Located behind your iris, your lens works like a camera lens. The retina then sends messages to your brain, making vision possible. Because your lens is comprised mostly of protein and water, it can become clouded. Sometimes that clouding is so severe that it can prevent images from reaching your retina.
Presbyopia is an age-related visual condition where the lens of your eye begins to lose its focusing power.
