Topical anesthesia and self-sealing incisions have taken cataract surgery to the next level. Many patients are able to see with clear vision much sooner after the surgery. In most cases, it is now possible to return to daily activities, such as driving and reading almost immediately. With "eye-drop" anesthesia, there is no need for a painful needle injection which delays vision restoration and could cause temporary swelling and skin discoloration. |

In the LASIK and Custom LASIK procedures, a flap of corneal tissue must be created and then folded back. The cornea is the transparent dome-like structure that covers the iris and pupil of your eye. By creating a flap in the cornea, Dr. Stanciu is able to perform the laser vision correction treatment on the inner layer of the cornea and allows for a rapid visual recovery. |

Macular degeneration is an age related condition of the macula, an area of the retina at the back of the eye that is responsible for seeing fine detail when reading or looking straight ahead.
Macular degeneration is the leading cause of decreased vision in people over 65 years of age. |

Cataract Surgery
 |
In your parents' and grandparents' day, cataract surgery was considered risky, required a lengthy hospital stay, and was usualy postponed for as long as possible.
Today, cataract surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure and takes only minutes. Patients can then go home and rest in comfort and avoid the inconvenience and expense of staying in a hospital. |
