There are many causes of cataracts, including congenital (acquired at birth), trauma, drug toxicity and diseases such as diabetes. However, the most common types of cataracts are age-related. This natural aging process causes the lens of the eye to become cloudy and thus impairs vision. As this process progresses, glasses and contact lenses will no longer provide the clarity of vision that patients are accustomed to.
PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) is a form of laser eye surgery used to improve vision and to reduce dependance on glasses or contact lenses. Here at Center for Advanced Eye Care, we use the very latest technology in the Alcon Wavelight, the fatest laser in existence. It takes a fraction of the time to complete the surgery compared with older technologies.
