Modern cataract surgery Orange County laser eye surgeons explain, involves a “no injection, no stitch, no patch” procedure. Prior to surgery, the eye is anesthetized with anesthetic eye drops that allow patients to see well within minutes following surgery.
Since there are no injections and the only thing being removed in the eye is the cataract Orange County surgeons can perform this procedure without running risk of a needle damaging any part of the visual system.
A small probe is then inserted into the eye through a tiny, microsurgical incision and emulsifies the cataract to vacuum it out gently — a process called phacoemulsification. Since Orange County laser eye surgeons use this self-sealing, microsurgical incision to remove the cataract, no uncomfortable stitches are required and there are virtually no post-operative restrictions with this treatment.
An intraocular lens, or IOL, is inserted to replace the lens (such as the ReSTOR IOL). The IOL will act in the same way as the natural lens once did to focus images clearly onto the back of the eye. Using these advanced methods, no obtrusive patches are necessary during the healing process. Vision usually returns within minutes after the procedure. Many Orange County Lasik patients can return to their normal activities immediately following cataract surgery.
