Griffin & Reed Eye Care Vision Information

Sometimes, we have patients come in with minor cataract problems, which haven’t progressed enough to cause vision loss and don’t qualify for cataract surgery based on Medicare guidelines. In these instances, we typically recommend doing a refractive lens exchange. Refractive lens exchange involves replacing your natural eye lens with a multifocal implant, which corrects vision like LASIK and prevents the need for cataract surgery later on...

There is a risk of infection involved in any form of surgery, even cataract surgery. Our eye surgeons decrease this risk by having our patients begin taking antibiotics prior to eye surgery, and we also have our at-risk patients start anti-inflammatory medications beforehand. We make sure your eye is in good health through a dilated eye exam before scheduling your procedure. Learn more about the potential risks of cataract surgery...

At a minimum, we collect data from your one-day, one-week, one-month and one-year visits to make sure our programming and equipment are providing the best outcomes possible. Learn more about LASIK and data collection in the video above.
