Columbia, SC, Dec 22, 2019- Cataract surgery is one of the most common procedures performed within the United States. Approximately 25 million people in the US suffer from cataracts. This means that the technology used to perform this surgery is constantly updating and evolving. The Eye Center in Columbia, SC, is continuously staying ahead in the industry by implementing new and exciting advancements to their treatment.

The SymfonyToric IOL and LenSx laser are the newest additions to their inventory of life-changing machinery. These adaptations have made it easier to complete procedures quickly and efficiently. The SymfonyToric IOL is the first of its kind. It’s an impressive presbyopia-correcting extended range of vision IOL. LenSx was the first to be approved by the FDA for cataract surgery.

Both tools were used recently in the successful cataract surgery on patient Walter C. Before the surgery, he was convinced that his eyesight was in a decent range, and he felt fine. However, after a referral to the center for the surgery, he noticed a significant difference.

“It turned out to be so easy!” said Walter. “You have a lot of apprehensions before the surgery, and you worry about it, you think about it. You say, ‘gosh, this is my eyesight! Something could happen!’ But the only thing that happens is that you can see better.”

Walter is not the only patient to be blown away by the results of cataract surgery. Most patients experience immediate results, and in turn, immediate transformations in their everyday lives. Cataract surgery is the only way to get close to 20/20 vision without corrective lenses for those who need them. After completing the procedure, daily tasks such as commuting are much simpler and safer.

Studies show that drivers who need corrective lenses are 48% safer on the road after undergoing cataract surgery. An experiment was conducted that compared drivers before and after receiving LASIK surgery, and the drivers who had the procedure done had much higher success rates.
