Advanced Treatments for Cataracts
Free Health Lecture  LATEST ADVANCES REDUCE THE NEED FOR EYEGLASSES Each year more than 3 million Americans undergo cataract surgery to remove a cloudy eye lens. With traditional cataract surgery, only distance or near vision—not both—could be restored, leaving patients dependent on glasses or contact lenses. Now there are advanced alternatives that go one step further, restoring your ability to see things clearly up close, at a distance, and anywhere in between.
Come hear a board-certified ophthalmologist describe advances in cataract surgery that can help you put away your glasses or contact lenses.
