Stop Cataracts From Clouding Your Vision & Blurring Your Future

There are more than 20 million active cases of cataracts worldwide, making it the leading cause of blindness (1). Cataracts impact your sight, making it hard to perform simple tasks and fully enjoy all that’s happening around you. They also leave you questioning how quickly your vision will continue to deteriorate.

If you’re considering undergoing cataract surgery, which is a safe and effective procedure, make sure that the lenses being added to your eyes bring you comfort, confidence, and clarity. PanOptix® from Dallas Eye and Ear can provide you with precisely that. Request your appointment now or continue reading below.

Cataract Surgery Without PanOptix® Limits Your Potential!

With around 3 million cataract surgeries performed each year (1), cataract surgery is the most frequently performed surgery in the US. Cataract surgery can revive the vision you’ve lost due to cataracts.

New technology changes what’s possible. Just as a newer television can provide you with a clearer, more vibrant picture, advanced lenses, like PanOptix®, can offer you expanded capabilities.

But what’s most exciting about what PanOptix® can offer is a return to the past. Remember the days when you could easily and comfortably enjoy the following?

Watching a movie
Driving your car
Using a computer or smartphone
Reading a book or magazine
Doing your favorite hobbies and activities
Going to an event

We can’t turn back the hands of time, but we can help you bring fun and clarity back into your life with the Acrysof® IQ PanOptix® Lens.

What is PanOptix®, and How Can it Work for Me?

During cataract surgery, your clouded lens, caused by cataracts, is replaced with a new lens. The Acrysof® IQ PanOptix® Trifocal IOL is the first and only trifocal lens in the United States. While a monofocal lens helps you see long distances, with PanOptix®, you can gain a full range of vision and potentially reduce your reliance on eyeglasses. This added range of vision helps with close and intermediate seeing, making reading a book or sending an email on your computer clear and simple.

During cataract surgery with a PanOptix® Lens, your surgeon will make a small incision in your clouded lens and replace it with a PanOptix® Lens, which will enhance and clarify your vision.

The results speak for themselves. A clinical study asked PanOptix® recipients about their experience and uncovered the following:

99% would choose the same lens again
98% would recommend to family and friends

What if I have Cataracts and Glaucoma?

Age is a risk factor for both cataracts and glaucoma, which means many patients will have both conditions.

Dr. Burk evaluates patients who have both cataracts and glaucoma with a special approach to find each patient’s best treatment

She will assess your specific situation and decide whether the two diseases should be treated with simultaneous surgeries or separate procedures.

The decision of whether or not to combine cataract-glaucoma surgeries depends on various factors, including the type of glaucoma and its severity. Dr. Burk will take all these important factors into consideration when advising what is best for your eyes.

Cataract surgery may be combined with one of several glaucoma surgeries. Newer, minimally-invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS) are approved for use in conjunction with cataract surgery. They can normally be performed using the same incision through which the cataract is removed.

Combining surgeries means you need to undergo only one anesthetic procedure and make one surgical copay.

Dr. Burk will tailor specific treatment plans for you to provide the best treatment with the lowest risk to each eye.

Dr. Burk Uses the Innovative Kahook Dual Blade® for Glaucoma Surgery

Goniotomy is the surgical procedure for glaucoma that removes tissue blocking the flow of fluid out of the eye. The Kahook blade has made goniotomy less complex so that it is easily combined with cataract surgery. After surgery, it may be possible for you to decrease or eliminate your glaucoma drops.

Dr. Burk is always continuing her training as new treatments are developed for eyes. She is pleased to bring these new techniques to Dallas and is featured in D Magazine’s “Ask the Experts: Cataract Surgeon”
