Types of Cataract Surgery We Offer

At Dr. Michael Javaheri’s clinic, we offer advanced cataract surgery techniques tailored to your specific needs. Our goal is to provide you with the best possible outcome, ensuring a safe and successful procedure. Here are the primary types of cataract surgery available:

Phacoemulsification

This is the most common type of cataract surgery. It involves using ultrasound waves to break up the cloudy lens, which is then removed through a small incision. A new, clear artificial lens is placed to restore vision.

Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery

This technique uses laser technology to make precise incisions and soften the cataract, making it easier to remove. Laser-assisted surgery offers enhanced accuracy and may reduce recovery time.

Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE)

In cases where the cataract is too dense for phacoemulsification, ECCE is used. This procedure involves removing the cloudy lens in one piece and replacing it with an artificial lens

Intraocular Lens (IOL) Options

We offer a variety of intraocular lens (IOL) options to suit your lifestyle needs. From monofocal lenses that provide clear distance vision to multifocal lenses that correct vision at multiple distances, we’ll help you choose the best IOL for your specific situation.

What to Expect During LASIK Surgery

LASIK surgery is a precise, step-by-step procedure designed to improve your vision quickly and safely. Here’s what you can expect

Pre-Surgery Consultation

Before undergoing LASIK, Dr. Javaheri will conduct a thorough eye examination to determine if you’re a suitable candidate. This includes measuring your corneal thickness, mapping the surface of your cornea, and assessing your overall eye health.

The LASIK Procedure

On the day of your surgery, numbing drops will be applied to your eyes to ensure your comfort. Dr. Javaheri will create a thin flap on the surface of your cornea, which is then gently lifted to allow the laser to reshape the underlying corneal tissue. The flap is then repositioned, and it heals naturally without the need for stitches.

Post-Surgery Care

After the procedure, you’ll rest briefly in a recovery area before going home. Dr. Javaheri will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.

Recovery After Cataract Surgery

Recovery from cataract surgery is generally quick and uneventful. Most patients experience improved vision within a few days, with full recovery taking about four to six weeks

Post-Operative Care

You’ll be given eye drops to prevent infection and reduce inflammation. It’s important to follow the prescribed schedule for these drops and avoid touching or rubbing your eye.

Activity Restrictions

While you can resume most normal activities within a few days, it’s important to avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and swimming until Dr. Javaheri confirms that your eye has healed.

Follow-Up Appointments

You’ll have follow-up appointments with Dr. Javaheri to monitor your healing and ensure that your vision is improving as expected. Any concerns or unusual symptoms should be reported immediately.
