Hummel Eye Associates - Oklahoma LASIK Eye Surgeon

More than half of all Americans have had cataracts by the age of 80. A yearly exam by a qualified ophthalmologist or cataract eye surgeon can save you from- loss of vision and impaired lifestyle due to cataract.

Cataract patients experience cloudiness in their vision, caused by protein clumping together behind the iris and pupil. The cloudiness interferes with the patient’s visual acuity and manifests early on as blurriness or double vision. If cataracts are interfering with your daily activities, a good cataract surgeon can correct your sight quickly, and you’ll be as good as new. The procedure involves replacing the affected lens with an artificial one. It takes about 15 minutes for the surgery and it’s done under a local anesthesia.

Choosing a Cataracts Surgeon
Who you choose to do the surgery is the most important decision you can make. Here are some suggested guidelines on the best surgeon for you:

• Ask trusted friends and relatives for recommendations.
• Be sure your doctor is involved in all aspects of the procedure – from exam to surgery.
• Find someone you’re comfortable with. Someone who patiently and thoroughly explains your options and risks.
• Visit the doctor’s office and trust your feelings about the environment and the staff. Do you feel comfortable with the doctor’s communication style?
• Find out about the doctor’s experience and accreditation.
• Don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions.
