GOODBYE CLOUDY, DULL VISION

Cataract Surgery at the Eye Center of Northern Colorado


Laser Based Cataract Surgery in Northern Colorado

The Eye Center of Northern Colorado was the first to bring laser-assisted cataract surgery to Colorado. Our LenSx® laser technology, paired with the ORA® System, ensures your surgery will be customized from start to finish. Our fellowship-trained cataract specialists offer a variety of replacement lens options to correct other common eye conditions like astigmatism and presbyopia (the need for reading glasses). Our goal is to help you regain the vision of your youth – even reducing or eliminating the need for glasses after surgery.

WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR CATARACT SURGERY?

If you have been diagnosed with cataracts, that means your naturally clear eye lenses have developed a build-up of proteins. These proteins gradually clump together, causing your vision to become increasingly cloudy, dull, and yellowed. You can also experience glare from lights. If these symptoms have started to interfere with your life, it will be time for cataract surgery to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with a clear one.

Lens Options During Cataract Surgery

At the Eye Center of Northern Colorado, we offer several replacement lens options to meet your overall vision goals and lifestyle after cataract surgery. Multifocal lenses can provide a full range of clear vision, often reducing or eliminating the need for glasses. Toric lenses can correct preexisting astigmatism to improve distance vision. We’ll help you decide which lens would be right for you.

Increased Independence
Reduced Risk of Falls

With the replacement lens options today, you may be able to reduce or even eliminate your need for glasses after surgery – even reading glasses!

Restore Youthful Vision image

With clear vision restored, you will be able to return to the activities you enjoy – things like driving, hobbies, exercise, dining out with friends and more.

Increased Independence image

If you can see clearly, you are less likely to trip and fall over an unseen object or a change in terrain. Some studies have reported a significant decrease in the amount of falls in cataract surgery patients.

Reduced Risk of Falls image

Studies have suggested that cataract surgery may actually increase your lifespan because clear vision can result in fewer medication mix-ups, improved quality of life, safer driving, etc.

Why Our Patients Love Us

Adena L. thumbnail

Dr. Arnold has been our saving grace with our son. We were referred to him by our eye doctor in Cheyenne, WY when we could get to the bottom of why my son’s eye wasn’t healing from what we thought were scratches. He has taken such great care of our son. He is so patient and makes the young patients and their parents feel as ease. So thankful for him.

As a radiologist, my career depends on my vision. I had always wanted to rid myself of my glasses but was hesitant to take the plunge. After several of my partners had the procedure done and reported great results, I had my LASIK done. After wearing glasses for 35 years, it is wonderful to be able to see the world without them.

If you have a baby with eye problems, this is the place to go and Dr. Patrick Arnold is the man to see. Our nine-month-old son has exotropia and today he had the surgery to help fix it. Everything went as perfectly as any parent sending their baby into surgery could possibly hope for. I’m mostly writing this review as a thank you to the nurses we worked with when we were in there.

I do a lot of outdoor activities in Colorado and with the dry air, my contact lenses were almost unbearable at times. That led me to looking in having LASIK surgery. The process was smooth and convenient. Now I can enjoy my activities with clear vision and pain free.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cataract Surgery

The symptoms of cataracts include blurry vision, dull colors, glare from sunlight or lamps, and glare while night driving. Cataracts will eventually cause blindness if left untreated.
No. You cannot prevent cataracts from forming. This is a natural process that occurs to most people over age 60. After the clouding of the lens begins, it is impossible to return the lens to its original clear state with medications. Cataract surgery is the only way to improve your declining vision when you have cataracts.
The LenSx® laser allows our surgeons to automate some of the most challenging steps of cataract surgery using real-time, 3-D visualization for truly customized treatment. This results in better vision outcomes for our patients.
Optiwave Refractive Analysis (ORA) technology allows our doctors to provide real-time intraoperative measurements of your refractive error after the cloudy lens is removed – during surgery – so we can adjust the power of your replacement lens if necessary. This allows for a completely tailored procedure for you.
