No-Stitch Cataract Removal is 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.

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
