Aging Eyes

Gordon Weiss Schanzlin Vision Institute is on the forefront of technology and leads the way in vision correction procedures for aging eyes. No matter your stage in life, our surgeons are capable of fully customizing your treatment plan for optimal results.

Procedures include:

• Cataract Surgery – This surgery removes a “cloudy” natural lens in the eye and replaces it with an implantable lens. It is the most common surgical procedure performed in the United States today. There are many lens options to choose from and Medicare has made it possible to select a standard lens (covered under insurance benefits) or to opt for a deluxe lens that is partially covered under patient benefits. Deluxe lenses include accommodative and multi-focal designs to reduce or eliminate the need for reading glasses following surgery.
• Premium IOL’s – The only way to see clearly after a cataract matures is to have it removed and then replaced with an intraocular lens, or IOL.
• Refractive Lens Exchange – RLE is a procedure for patients ages 40+ without a cataract. This procedure removes the natural lens in the eye and replaces it with an implantable lens to change the focusing power. It is very similar to a cataract procedure and is available in different lens designs to correct, nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and near vision.
• PML LASIK – A LASIK treatment for patients with Presbyopia with or without nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism. By modifying the shape of the cornea, this procedure affords good distance vision in both eyes, while reducing or eliminating the need for reading glasses.
