A cataract is the clouding that develops in the eye’s crystalline lens that blurs normal vision. Diseases, genetic factors, prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light, the natural aging process, and other factors can cause cataracts to form. Cataract surgery is a safe and proven procedure to extract the cloudy lens and replace it with a clear artificial lens thus improving a patient’s vision.
No-Shot, No-Stitch, No-Patch Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is performed on an outpatient basis at our own Ocala Eye Surgery Center, the newest, most state-of-the-art facility of its kind in the area. A majority of our cataract surgery patients require no needles since their eyes are numbed using eye drops only. By using eye drops to numb the eyes rather than an injection, a cataract surgery patient experiences a much more rapid recovery from treatment and is not required to wear a patch over the eye.
Cataract Surgery Animation |
This movie is a general illustration of no-shot, no-stitch, no-patch cataract surgery. The animation shows the cataract being removed with phacoemulsification through a small incision. After the cataract is broken up and vacuumed out of the eye, an intraocular lens is placed inside the eye using the same small incision. The incision seals itself and the cataract surgery is complete. (no audio) |
Ocala Eye Surgery Center
The actual cataract surgery is performed at our Ocala, Florida surgery center through a self-sealing incision that, in a majority of cases, requires no stitches. The cataract is broken up into pieces using ultrasound waves in a process known as phacoemulsification. The cataract is then removed from the eye with a safe suction instrument. To replace the cloudy lens and restore a patient’s vision, an intraocular lens implant (IOL) is inserted in the eye during cataract surgery. Monofocal IOLs provide excellent distance vision and have a long, safe surgical record. These IOLs make up the vast majority of cataract replacement lenses that Ocala Eye patients choose.

NEW! US News and World Report Ocala Eye cataract special feature
"We’ve been going to Ocala Eye for 13 years, and my parents were patients
there for nearly 20 years.
We go regularly for checkups. Our physician Dr. Warren and the staff are fantastic. Dr. Warren performed cataract surgery on Tom, and now he doesn’t need glasses anymore. That’s pretty amazing considering how thick his glasses were – they were like Coke bottles!
We’re confident our eyes are receiving the very best care at Ocala Eye."
