You Are in Your 60's

These are not your grandfather's "Golden Years."    Whether it's spending time with your grandkids, traveling, taking the long-awaited banjo lessons, surfing or skiing, you have places to go, people to see.  You thought you'd have free time on your hands, but you're busier than ever. 

This is the time when both, patients who have never worn glasses or contacts, and those who have worn them all their life, begin to notice that vision is not what it used to be.  If you're experiencing halos, glare, decreased contrast or color perception, double vision, eye fatigue, need for more light, or difficulty reading small print, these could be symptoms of cataract formation.   While cataracts are the most common cause of decreased vision in patients in this age group, other more serious conditions could be present.  We strongly recommend a thorough ophthalmic evaluation.  If you know that you have cataracts,  you need to consider treatment options described below.  We know this may seem overwhelming, so when you're ready to learn more, call us to schedule a consultation and we'll help you to sort it all out.  

You have your reasons to see better.  We can help.

 

  • Lens replacement procedures with presbyopia correcting IOL's provide an excellent opportunity to regain the ability to focus at distance and at near without the aid of glasses or contacts. There are a number of FDA approved presbyopia correcting IOLs available. At the Benjamin Eye Institute we offer the full range of presbyopia correcting IOLs, and as with all premium/refractive services at BEI, we stand behind our results with our free LASIK enhancement guarantee.

  • Modern Cataract surgery, the most commonly performed surgical procedure in the U.S.,  is a painless, minutes long procedure performed in an ambulatory setting without injections or stitches. It presents an opportunity to simultaneously correct astigmtism, nearsightedness, farsightedness and presbyopia. Femtosecond Laser Assisted cataract care holds the promise of even greater safety and precision, giving patients glasses free distance and near vision for the rest of their lives.

  • Whether you're right or left handed your eye dominance switches thousands of times a day, depending on which eye can provide the brain with the best quality image. The eyes are constantly competing for the title of dominant eye. Monovision takes advantage of this rivalry between the eyes to provide an excellent alternative to reading glasses for treatment of presbyopia.
