If you have been suffering with cataracts for some time, and find that you are experiencing too much vision loss from them, then it is probably high time that you found a great doctor who will be able to provide you with cataract surgery. Palisade Eye is the place to come to if you are in need of a great Jersey City ophthalmologist who can perform corrective cataract surgery and restore your treasured vision.
At Palisade Eye we have many outstanding eye doctors. Our ophthalmologists are: Drs. Anthony Panariello, Betty Cervenak, Ganesh Rau, Daniel Lutz, Ceaser Pitta, and Dr. Brazzo. Whether you are experiencing vision loss, or need some type of corrective surgery, our Jersey City ophthalmologist will be able to help you. One of the common services we provide for our patients is cataract surgery. A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye. It is caused by a thickening of the lens. Eventually the lens becomes so clouded that light cannot be properly transmitted from the retina to the brain. If left untreated, cataracts will eventually cause blindness.
Our Jersey City Ophthalmologist can operate on your cataracts using laser surgery to remove the damaged lens, and replace it with a new man-made lens. There are even advanced technology lenses that reduce the need for glasses following cataract surgery. This is a very exciting new option in cataract surgery, and we are very happy to be able to offer this option to our patients. Cataract surgery is generally performed using only local anesthesia. It is generally performed using a laser to make the small cut in the eye. After the surgery is completed, there is no need for any stitches or bandages. Usually, only one eye will be operated on at a time. The new man-made lens that is inserted into the eye is called an intraocular lens (IOL). Cataract surgery is sometimes referred to as intraocular lens implantation. The implanted lens is permanent, and will never need any type of care. Most people can see very well at a distance without glasses after cataract surgery, when the lens is replaced. The surgery is done in an operating room, as an outpatient procedure. Surgery generally lasts less than an hour. If you would like to meet with one of our fine doctors regarding your cataract eye problem, call our office today for an appointment.
