Blepharitis is a common and chronic condition where the eyelids become swollen, with oily particles and bacteria. This condition causes irritation, itchiness, redness, and stinging or burning of the eyes. Warm compresses and lid scrubs are the mainstay of therapy.
Cataract Laser Surgery
Cataract Surgery/ Laser Cataract Surgery (Phaco/ Femtosecond Laser) are achieved by the removal of the natural lens and the placement of an implant that best fits your personal needs. There are two technologies to choose from when performing this task. There is the most common practice of phacoemulsification wherein the internal lens is emulsified with an ultrasonic handpiece and aspirated from the eye and there is also an advanced bladeless technology wherein a laser is utilized to cut the lens into small pieces prior to being aspirated from the eye. Please call our office for an appointment to ask your surgeon, Dr. Jatla, Dr. Brundrett, and Dr. Nguyen which method would be best for you.
