Cataract Surgery

  • A cataract is when your eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, causing glare at night, blurry vision, seeing double, and a decrease in contrast sensitivity. When cataracts prevent you from doing things you want or need to do, they may be removed with surgery.

    Cataract surgery is an outpatient procedure that is performed by Dr. Ma at Envision Eye Group and takes 15-20 minutes.

Refractive Surgery

  • Refractive laser surgery improves vision by using a laser to reshape the cornea to help reduce myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Refractive surgery may be a good option for you if you want to decrease your dependence on glasses or contact lenses, are free of eye disease, and have the appropriate prescription.

    Phakic intraocular lenses are lenses made of plastic or silicone that are implanted into the eye to reduce a person’s need for vision correction (i.e. glasses or contact lenses). The natural lens of the eye is NOT removed.

  • Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK)

    Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK)

    Phakic intraocular lens
