Using techniques pioneered by Dr. Wiles, the cataract is gently removed through an opening so small that it heals without any stitches. A custom-designed lens implant, call an intraocular lens (IOL), is placed into your eye in order to restore bright, clear vision. The newest implants allow you to see more naturally without glasses.

Cataract surgery is one of the most successful procedures in the United States. Micro-Touch Advanced Cataract Surgery takes this success to new levels. This advanced technique has been perfected over tens of thousands of cases. It is pain-free, uses eye drops to administer an anesthetic (no needles required), and normally requires no stitches or eye patches. Micro-Touch Advanced Cataract Surgery is 66 percent more efficient which means it takes less time, is a safer procedure, and has better results than traditional cataract surgery.
