What is inSIGHT cataract surgery?

Recent developments in lens technology allow us not only to remove the cataract, but also to correct vision, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses. Premium lens implants now exist to help address astigmatism and presbyopia. For some patients, these premium lenses may be appropriate to consider.

As lens technology has changed, so have the requirements for measurement of the eye prior to surgery. Advanced technology such as IOLMaster, Pentacam corneal topographer, and retinal imaging should be utilized to help ensure the best outcome.

Our surgeons use all three, ensuring the most precise lens calculations possible. A second consultation with the doctor at the time of lens measurement can help to clarify potential advantages, disadvantages, and when glasses may still be required. We call this approach inSIGHT, and strive to match our outcome with the patient’s expectations.
