By placing a small incision in the eye, our skilled surgeons remove the cataract by a process called phacoemulsification, during which the surgeon dissolves the cataract. This method is commonly regarded as the laser technique, but actually it uses sound waves to disintegrate the cataract and then vacuum the microscopic particles from the eye.
LASIK is a laser surgery designed to reduce the need for prescription eyeglasses and contact lenses by correcting vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. LASIK is the most well known refractive surgery for vision correction. A majority of people who meet the age and general health requirements are good candidates for LASIK, but only a thorough exam can tell if LASIK is right for you.

My visit was due to eye irritation. I was fortunate enough to get an appointment within an hour of my call. The staff was very accommodating and professional. Everyone was fully masked, which made me feel very safe. Dr. Meadows was very thorough and reassuring in his examination. I was extremely pleased with my visit.

The surgery from the entering the bldg. that morning was extraordinary. The staff was quite cordial and the physician and his assistants did a great job. I couldn't be happier with the results. I'm excited about getting my other surgery on opposite eye. I highly recommend Montgomery Eye Care to anyone who needs cataracts surgery. Good job guys.
