Cataracts can start with subtle loss of color vibrancy and contrast sensitivity or they can cause blurring of vision. Left untreated, cataracts can develop further, becoming more severe and leading ultimately to significantly impaired vision which can make it difficult to perform daily activities safely or comfortably.
Early detection through an exam by your optometrist or Dr. Reeves can determine the presence and the extent of a cataract. When symptoms first appear, your doctor may be able to temporarily alleviate the effects of cataracts and improve your vision by prescribing glasses, strong bifocals, or other visual aids. However, cataracts may continue to advance leaving surgery as the only option to restore your good vision.
The EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is a cutting-edge vision correction option for those who aren't candidates for LASIK. This procedure involves implanting a thin, flexible lens inside the eye to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Unlike LASIK, it’s reversible and doesn’t alter the cornea, making it an ideal choice for people with thin corneas or higher prescriptions. EVO ICL offers fast recovery, excellent visual outcomes, and the potential for sharp, clear vision without the need for glasses or contacts.
"EVO ICL lens has helped me live life to the fullest with no more hesitation. I simply wake up and go about my day."
- Joe Jonas
Refractive lens exchange (RLE) is a surgical procedure where the eye's natural lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Often used for individuals who are not candidates for LASIK, RLE offers a long-term solution for those seeking freedom from glasses or contacts, especially for people with presbyopia or early cataracts. The procedure is similar to cataract surgery and can improve vision at various distances, providing clearer sight and reducing reliance on corrective lenses.
