If you have impaired vision, it’s highly likely we can correct the problem on an outpatient basis under local or topical anesthesia.
Cataract Surgery
No-Stitch, topical anesthetic, no patch Cataract Surgery.
Femtosecond laser surgery
The surgeon uses a very short wavelength laser to make the needed cataract surgery incisions. This technique is safer, more precise, and shortens the surgery time. Dr. Kilpatrick is one of the few ophthalmologists certified for femtosecond laser surgery.
OptiPlusTM ORA intraoperative testing
Allows instant assessments and precise corrections of the implant lens power and alignment during cataract surgery.
Astigmatism correcting intraocular lenses (also known as toric lenses)
Cataract surgery Implant lenses designed to correct astigmatism, an eye defect that causes your brain to receive blurred images.
Multifocal lenses
The Tecnis and PanOptix lenses we offer with cataract surgery greatly increase the possibility that you could do with reduced need for distance or reading glasses.
Glaucoma Treatment During Cataract Surgery
Endocyclophotocoagulation (ECP) glaucoma laser treatment during cataract surgery is also offered. This technique provides up to an 80% possibility of lowering eye pressure and/or reducing glaucoma medications post-surgery.
SLT Glaucoma Laser
This quick and painless procedure reduces the pressure in about 80% of eligible patients.
iStent Glaucoma Surgery
With the approved iStent® Trabecular Micro-Bypass Stent System Glaucoma treatment can be done during Cataract surgery. The iStent® works by relieving intraocular pressure that results from fluid that can no longer properly drain from the eye.
YAG laser capsulotomy
We recommend this surgery to treat cloudiness behind the implant lens that frequently can occur after a primary cataract procedure.
Laser Iridotomy
Laser iridotomy relieves or prevents increased pressure within the eye from acute angle-closure glaucoma.
Minor ocular surgeries (corneal foreign body, eyelid chalazion, skin tags, cysts) The most common conjunctival and corneal injuries are foreign bodies and abrasions. If left untreated, these problems could cause serious eye infections. Blocked eyelid glands (chalazion) and other lesions are removed in the office under local anesthetic.
