What if I don't see perfectly after the surgery?
Cataract and refractive lens surgery results in sharp vision with
improved colors, contrast, and brightness for the vast majority
of patients. The one variable that I cannot predict is how your
eye will heal. If you have an unusual healing response and the
lens implant shifts within the eye, then you may need thin
glasses to achieve 20/20 vision. For patients that have selected
a premium lens implant, any further required treatment such as
LASIK, PRK, or an additional lens implant in the post-operative
period is included at no additional cost. Your surgery costs are
for the evaluation, surgical procedures, and lens implant, and
not for a particular result. While my goal certainly is "perfect
vision" for you, this cannot be guaranteed.
If your goal is to have absolutely incredible bionic vision and to
see like you're 21 years old again, then you're out of luck.
There's no fountain of youth, and it's impossible to give a 60-
year-old patient the perfect visual function of a teenager.
If your goal is to have great vision, a reduced dependence or
freedom from glasses, and better visual performance for your
active lifestyle, then you're in luck. During our pre-operative
consultation, let me know your expectations so that I can be
sure to meet or even exceed them.
