This technique allows our doctors to offer you more accuracy, precision, and peace of mind with a wider range of options for better vision, particularly when combined with Lifestyle Lenses.

Cataracts develop slowly and painlessly over time. In fact, in early stages, symptoms may be so mild that you may not even realize your vision is changing. However, as cataracts become more dense, you will experience one or more of the following symptoms:
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, you may have cataracts. If untreated, cataracts eventually begin to interfere with normal, everyday activities. The time to have cataract surgery is when your quality of life has been impacted by your poor vision. In the hands of our experienced surgeons, recovery time is rapid and results are impressive. With today’s safer, more precise technology, there’s never been a better time to have cataract surgery!
You can expect a rapid return to good vision following cataract surgery. Today’s modern surgical techniques and technology have made cataract surgery one of the most successful surgical procedures performed in the United States, with over 95% of patients reporting a return to good vision following cataract surgery.
If you are experiencing the symptoms of cataracts or other vision problems, you should visit Eye Care Specialists serving Wilkes-Barre, Kingston, Hazleton, Scranton, Berwick and more for a complete eye examination.
Eye Care Specialists offers many services to help individuals in the Northeastern Pennsylvania area who suffer from cataracts. One of the most popular techniques used to restore vision loss due to cataracts is no-shot, no-stitch, no-patch cataract surgery. With this method, ultrasound technology is used to remove the cataract, and an intraocular lens is implanted through a smaller incision than is required in traditional cataract surgery. The cloudy lens can be removed through an incision as small as 1/8 of an inch wide!
In cases where our surgeons can use a technique that does not require sutures, the natural pressure inside the eye is used to keep the incision closed while the eye heals. Eye Care Specialists is proud to offer our cataract patients the AcrySof Acrylic Foldable Intraocular Lens along with a large selection of additional high quality IOLs. The AcrySof lens is the first silicone-free, foldable acrylic IOL available today and is more flexible than previous lenses.
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 for distance the day following surgery. Fast healing and a quick return to an active lifestyle is one of the popular appeals of no stitch/small incision cataract surgery.
