Cataract Surgery
No-Stitch Cataract Removal is now one of the most modern surgical procedures performed by Highland Ophthalmology's Surgeons. It is quick (10-15 minutes), efficient, painless, and usually does not require sutures. This speeds the recovery process and eliminates the nuisances associated with suture erosion and removal.
With this method, ultrasound technology is used to remove the cataract, and a special lens is implanted through a smaller incision than is required in traditional cataract surgery. The patients natural cloudy lens can be removed through an incision as small as 1/6 of an inch wide! Through this small incision, the cataract is dissolved and vacuumed out. A soft, foldable intraocular lens is then placed, allowing a clear focused light to reach the retina. A valve-like construction of the tiny surgical opening allows it to self-seal so that stitches are typically not required.
Most patients experience a rapid return to good vision following no-stitch/small-incision cataract surgery. In many cases, patients are able to see relatively well without glasses the day following cataract surgery. Fast healing and a quick return to an active lifestyle is one of the popular appeals of no-stitch/small-incision cataract surgery.
For most patients, the potential benefits of No-Stitch Cataract Surgery include:
- No stitches since the tiny incision seals by itself
- Topical anesthesia provides a rapid recovery
- Clear vision returns almost immediately
- Less chance of surgically-induced astigmatism
- Fewer visits for follow-up care
- Little, if any, discomfort
