People with certain vision problems that reside in the greater Miami area are very fortunate because one of the leading cataract doctors in the entire United States is located in the heart of the metropolitan area. The cataract surgeon that is the driving force behind SightTrust Eye Institute is Dr. Andrew Shatz. He is a board-certified ophthalmologist, and he decided to apply his considerable talents to the area of laser assisted cataract surgery. At this point, he has been setting the standard for more than 17 years, and he has performed well over 15,000 procedures successfully.
Our cataract doctor can be described as a pioneer when it comes to the cutting-edge LenSx bladeless cataract surgery system. It has been suggested that he has performed more of these procedures over his career than any other ophthalmologist in the southeastern United States. This advanced system is a relatively new phenomenon, and SightTrust Eye Institute is the first center to offer the LenSx surgery in our area, and it was one of the first 50 LenSx equipped facilities in the United States.
To provide a brief explanation of how this cataract surgery works, as you get older, the natural lens in your eyes can start to grow cloudy due to the emergence of cataracts. The laser cataract procedure that our cataract doctor performs can be described as lens exchange surgery. He removes the compromised natural lens and replaces it with a brand-new lens that is custom crafted to provide each respective patient with perfect vision.
The LenSx cataract procedure only takes a few minutes, and patients can resume ordinary activities right away. It is completely painless, and the results will be plainly evident in a day or two. Plus, you may assume that surgery involving high-tech equipment like this must be extremely expensive. In fact, most people are pleasantly surprised when they hear about the relatively low price point, and we can connect our patients with no-interest financing.
