Cataract surgery recovery… with fewer eye drops? 👀✨

Many people are surprised to learn that some cataract patients may be candidates for Dextenza, a tiny, dissolvable insert placed after surgery that slowly releases medication for up to 30 days.

What does that mean for patients?
✔️ Less reliance on steroid eye drops
✔️ A simpler post-op routine
✔️ Consistent medication delivery while the eye heals

The insert sits comfortably in the tear duct, does its job quietly in the background, and dissolves on its own—no daily reminders needed.

Not every patient qualifies (coverage and medical factors matter), but options like this are part of how modern cataract care continues to focus on comfort, convenience, and excellent outcomes.

Curious what recovery could look like for you?

Struggling with very high nearsightedness (up to -20.00)? ICL surgery might be your breakthrough.

At The Cataract Surgeons | Willis Knighton Eye Institute, we offer EVO Visian ICL — an advanced vision correction option for patients whose prescriptions are too high for traditional LASIK or SMILE.

Unlike laser surgeries that reshape the cornea, the ICL is a tiny lens placed inside your eye (behind the iris and in front of your natural lens). It bends light so it hits the retina correctly, just like glasses or contacts — but permanently and without removing corneal tissue.

✨ Why ICL is a great option for high myopia (up to -20):
• Corrects strong nearsightedness that LASIK can’t safely reach — many phakic lens designs treat up to -20 diopters.
• Doesn’t thin or alter your cornea — ideal for patients with thin corneas or unstable prescriptions
• Reversible: the lens can be removed if needed
• Quick procedure with fast visual recovery and minimal downtime
• UV protection and excellent night vision outcomes reported

If you’ve been told your prescription is too high for LASIK or SMILE, ICL surgery could be your path to clear, glasses-free vision. Schedule a consultation with our expert ophthalmologists to see if you’re a candidate!

LASIK- TAKE THE TEST.
LASIK is often viewed as a luxury, but for many people, it’s actually a smart financial decision.

When you add up the lifetime cost of glasses, contact lenses, solutions, exams, replacements, and upgrades, vision correction can quietly cost thousands of dollars over time.

LASIK, on the other hand, is a one-time investment in your vision. At The Cataract Surgeons, our experienced ophthalmologists, Dr. Christopher Shelby and Dr. Wyche T. Coleman III, use advanced laser technology to help many patients reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses or contacts altogether.

Beyond the financial savings, LASIK offers something even more valuable: freedom. Freedom from prescription changes, broken frames, dry contacts, and the hassle of daily maintenance.

If you’ve been paying for vision correction year after year, it may be time to explore whether LASIK makes sense for you.

KTBS’s own Johnette McCrery recently underwent cataract surgery, and her experience is a powerful reminder that cataracts don’t discriminate—they affect active, vibrant people who still have so much life to see clearly.

Cataract surgery today is not just about restoring vision—it’s about reclaiming clarity, confidence, and independence. For many patients, it’s life-changing in ways they didn’t expect until they experience it themselves.

We’re grateful when familiar faces help normalize conversations around eye health and encourage others not to delay care. Clear vision matters—at every stage of life.

If you’ve been noticing changes in your vision or wondering whether cataracts could be affecting you, it may be time to start the conversation.

Most people don’t realize this:
Cataracts don’t have to be “bad enough” to be treated.

Many patients wait years thinking blurry vision, glare at night, or constantly changing glasses are just part of getting older. But cataract surgery today isn’t just about removing a cloudy lens, it’s an opportunity to improve how you see your world.

At The Cataract Surgeons, our physicians, Dr. Christopher Shelby, Dr. Wyche T. Coleman III and Dr. Kelli Coleman, focus on personalized cataract care using advanced technology and premium lens options designed around your lifestyle, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

If you’re avoiding night driving, struggling to read, or feel like your vision just isn’t as sharp as it used to be, it may be time to stop waiting.
