While treating your cataract, our surgeons can also often provide treatment for other eye problems, such as astigmatism, presbyopia (the need for reading glasses), and even glaucoma.

Astigmatism

Many cataract patients also have astigmatism, further complicating their visual clarity. The surgeons at Kremer Eye Center can treat your astigmatism at the same time your cataract is removed.

Near Vision

The specialists at Kremer Eye Center can also address your near vision during cataract surgery. Ask your certified Kremer surgeon about this option and whether it is right for you.

Secondary Cataracts

In some patients, after cataract surgery has been performed, a clear membrane that separates the front from the back part of the eye may become cloudy. Kremer Eye Center surgeons can use a YAG Laser to make a small opening at the center of the membrane and restore visual clarity. The entire procedure is generally painless and can be performed in seconds while you sit upright in a chair at our surgical center.

Glaucoma

Cataract surgery can be combined with ECP to decrease intra-ocular pressure in glaucoma patients.
