Cataract surgery is one of the most common procedures performed today, with at least 4 million Americans having the procedure annually. This number is likely to double over the next few decades as more people develop cataracts and start seeking safe, reliable vision correction.
But, how can you be sure you have the safest procedure and most satisfying results? It all starts with choosing the right surgeon. At Berks Eye Physicians & Surgeons, conveniently located in Wyomissing, PA, and serving the greater Reading area, a highly experienced team of board-certified ophthalmologists offers the highest standard in state-of-the-art, customized cataract surgery. Read on to learn what to look for in your surgeon so you can feel confident going into your cataract removal procedure.
Board Certification in Ophthalmology
The first and most important qualification is board certification. Ophthalmologists who are board-certified have completed extensive training and testing in the medical and surgical treatment of eye conditions. This certification indicates that your surgeon has met rigorous national standards and remains up-to-date in the field. At Berks Eye Physicians & Surgeons, our ophthalmologists all hold this credential.
Experience and Longevity
Experience matters when it comes to eye surgery. Surgeons who have treated a wide variety of patients over the years are better equipped to address unique needs and manage complex cataract surgery cases. Our surgeons are all experienced in treating a broad spectrum of cataract surgery patients, and we’re known for tailoring procedures to the patient.
A practice that has served the community for decades also reflects stability and trust. For example, patients in the Wyomissing and Reading area rely on us because we’ve been helping our community see clearly for more than 70 years, a record that speaks to consistency and expertise.
Use of Advanced Technology
Cataract surgery has advanced far beyond traditional methods. Today’s surgeons have access to technologies that make the procedure safe, more reliable, faster, and easier for the patient. When evaluating a cataract surgeon, ask about the technology used and whether patients have access to a full range of lens options to match their lifestyle needs.
Our surgeons use tiny incisions (3 mm or less) and employ advanced ultrasonic technology to break up the cloudy lens before gently vacuuming it out of the eye. Then, they place the new intraocular lens (IOL) in the eye to correct vision. Our surgeons offer advanced technology lens implants that can correct vision at multiple distances, which means many patients may not need reading glasses after surgery.
Personalized Patient Care
Technology and credentials are critical, but so is the way you’re treated as a patient. A good cataract surgeon takes time to listen, answer questions, and explain options clearly. Personalized care ensures that your surgery isn’t just technically successful but also tailored to your vision goals, whether that means reducing dependence on glasses or improving night driving.
