Premium Cataract Surgery in Birmingham
At Alabama Vision Center, we understand that your eyesight helps shape the way you interact with and experience the world. However, many people develop cataracts, a condition that makes seeing clearly increasingly more difficult. In fact, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, more than 24 million individuals age 40 and older are affected by cataracts.
Drs. Price Kloess, Andrew Velazquez, and Andrew Bartlett are specialized eye surgeons who perform cataract surgery to help their patients regain natural vision and return to the activities they enjoy. Our practice is trusted by our colleagues and patients for provide modern surgical care, including laser-assisted procedures, for Birmingham and the surrounding communities.
Advanced Surgical Treatment Options
What makes cataracts particularly problematic is that surgical removal is needed once they have developed. Fortunately, advancements in eye care have made cataract surgery a reliable, safe procedure that produces dramatically improved sight. By incorporating the latest technologies into our Birmingham practice, we further minimize the risks involved and enhance overall care. Our patients typically report little to no discomfort following treatment.
While laser-assisted cataract surgery represents a tremendous advance in modern eye care, not all patients are candidates. Based on our findings from your initial eye examination, our doctors will discuss which options are best suited for your case. Should conventional cataract surgery prove to be the most beneficial choice for your situation, our experienced surgical team employs modern techniques to provide for your safety and an optimal treatment outcome.
Bringing Your World into Focus
Drs. Kloess, Velazquez, and Bartlett use premium multifocal implants to replace natural eye lenses clouded by cataracts, allowing patients to see clearly and often eliminating the need for glasses following the procedure. Before performing cataract surgery, we work with you to determine the intraocular lens (IOL) that addresses your individual concerns. Alabama Vision Center has an array of premium IOLs available, including ReSTOR®, TECNIS® Multifocal and Symfony®, some of which have the additional benefit of correcting astigmatism.
When selecting the appropriate lens strength for your eyes, our specialists use the ORA® System to gain accurate, real-time information during the procedure itself. This technology makes for more predictable outcomes, especially for patients that have previously undergone treatment with LASIK.
