Refractive Cataract Surgery in Auburn Hills, MI

What Is Refractive Cataract Surgery?

A leading cause of vision loss around the world, cataracts are classified as cloudiness of the natural lens of the eye. Cataracts generally begin to develop around age 40. To repair foggy regions within the makeup of the lens, the lens must be removed and replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL) to control cataracts. Board-certified ophthalmologist Dr. Leslie Emmert-Buck is highly experienced in using advanced techniques to treat cataracts and help clients regain clear vision. Our highly trained team at Capstone Vision & Aesthetics is pleased to provide refractive cataract surgery, a personalized procedure that utilizes advanced laser technology to precisely remove the cataract. Refractive cataract surgery involves digitally diagramming the eye's surface to make a precise, delicate, scalpel-free incision. This surgery helps those with refractive errors, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and presbyopia, by replacing natural lenses with custom IOLs as prescription lenses. These specialty intraocular lenses can help eliminate or decrease one's reliance on prescription glasses or contacts. To learn more about this specialized surgery, schedule a visit with our team in Auburn Hills, MI.

What Can I Expect From Refractive Cataract Surgery?

Refractive cataract surgery can help individuals see clearly again by replacing the lens of the eye. The surgery is a quick treatment usually completed in 15 – 20 minutes. Once your eyes are fully numbed, Dr. Emmert-Buck will make a small incision to remove the cataract and replace it with an IOL that fits your vision needs and lifestyle. After your cataract surgery, you will need to use prescribed eye drops and avoid scratching your eyes while they heal. Many patients notice slightly cloudy vision for a few days after the procedure with clearer vision developing over the next couple of weeks. Our team recommends that clients come back in for 2 – 4 follow-up appointments.

I can highly recommend Dr. Emmert-Buck. I had cataract surgery on both eyes as well as a lens inserted on both this summer and I can see 20/20 without glasses, it's a life changer. Dr Emmert-Buck is a very caring and meticulous doctor/person and explains everything before and after surgery in an easy to understand manner. She also takes her time with you when you are in her office to go through all the exams and any questions you might have. I'm recommending all my family and friends to see her for any eye needs.
