Cataract surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure, with no hospitalization required. In most cases, you can return to your normal activities in days rather than weeks.

Vision Quest glaucoma care — Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide and is caused by an elevation in eye pressure. Most patients are not aware they have glaucoma until they suffer a loss of vision. Early diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma is essential to prevent loss of vision. Glaucoma is more common after the age of 40 and in persons with diabetes, African-Americans and patients with a family history of glaucoma. Glaucoma is most often treated with eyedrops, and in many cases a laser can be used to reduce or eliminate the need for eyedrops.

Diabetic retinopathy — Diabetic retinopathy affects 50 percent of all Americans diagnosed with diabetes. It damages blood vessels in the light-sensitive tissue of the retina, which could lead to vision loss. Using leading-edge technology, our doctors can detect diabetic retinopathy in its early stages, even before symptoms appear.

Corneal transplants — In some cases, corneal transplant procedures may restore vision to otherwise blind eyes. There are many conditions in which corneal transplantation may be considered. You can trust that Dr. Sonntag, our highly experienced corneal transplant surgeon, will explore every option to determine what’s best for your condition.

Eye exams — Our doctors will check for early signs of macular degeneration and diabetes, which can rob you of your vision. Using the latest Swiss- and German-
engineered diagnostic tools, we monitor your condition to detect any early complications that need specialized treatment.
