When paying for cataract surgery, you’re paying for more than the procedure.

Add-ons like laser treatment and premium lenses can impact how much you pay. Remember, the real value comes in the lens that you choose. This is what will give you freedom from your glasses!

You may have heard of astigmatism as a common eye condition that impacts your night driving. But what no one talks about is how it’s sometimes a warning sign that something worse is on the way.

I’ve treated thousands of patients with astigmatism, and far too often, people wait too long before getting their eyes checked because they don’t know the warning signs. Astigmatism may be the start of another condition called keratoconus. If left untreated, it can rob you of your eye sight.

Early diagnosis can save your sight! If you’re vision is acting up, get it check out.

80% of ophthalmologists spend most of their time in medical care, and not surgical care.

The number one mistake I see people make with their cataract surgery is choosing a surgeon who prescribes glasses, diagnoses eye diseases, and treats eye diseases more often than they perform surgery. Just because you’ve gone to the same eye doctor for years doesn’t mean they’re the right person for your cataract surgery.

A critical choice to make when getting cataract surgery...
Choosing a premium lens.

There are two types of lenses: multifocal lenses and EDOF lenses. Multifocals usually have rings for multiple distances, while EDOF lenses provide a continuous range by using zones instead of rings.

New lenses coming out in 2026 include:
👉 The BVI FINEVISION HP - a trifocal lens with data showing 95% of patients reaching complete glasses independence at all distances.

👉 LuxSmart and TECNIS PureSee - EDOF lenses with excellent night vision and superb distance and intermediate vision.

👉 RayOne Galaxy - The newest lens design, offering a multifocal range with no glare or halos, and features a ringless, spiral design with no diffractive rings.

Why do cataracts form? We now know it’s not just about getting older. It’s about how you live, what you eat, and what you’re exposed to.
Everyday habits matter.

👉 UV light affects your eye’s lenses, even when it’s overcast. Make sure to wear sunglasses that say UV400 or 100% UV protection.
👉 Antioxidants found in leafy greens, Omega 3 fatty acids in fish, and Vitamin C from citrus berries, fruits, and colorful veggies all support lens clarity.
👉 Smoking or secondhand smoke releases free radicals and stable molecules that damage your lens from the inside out.
👉 If you have diabetes or pre-diabetes, high blood sugar can lead to diabetic caracts, which develops faster than age-related cataracts.
👉 Proper hydration helps your eyes maintain proper fluid balance.

Nobody tells you this about cataracts👇

Hearing “You have cataracts” can sound daunting, but here’s the good news: advanced cataract surgery can actually restore and even improve your vision.

Cataract surgery is a quick, outpatient procedure where the clouded lens is replaced with a clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This not only removes the cataract but also opens the door to improved vision, tailored to your needs.

Many of our patients now see better than they have in years, sometimes even without needing glasses.
