Roseburg Surgery Center encourages patients to schedule an examination with an ophthalmologist if they start experiencing symptoms like blurry vision and difficulty seeing at night. The clinic points out that early detection is crucial to prevent further vision loss and gets patients the help they need before it starts having severe effects on their quality of life.

While children and adults can have cataracts, it’s primarily an age-related condition that occurs when the protein in the eye’s natural lens breaks down and forms clumps. In fact, half of Americans aged 80 or over have cataracts or have had surgery to treat it, according to the National Eye Institute.

The institute highlights preventative measures, like protecting the eyes from sunlight and not smoking. Those who need IOL surgery can find comfort in that 9 out of 10 people can see better after the procedure.

Roseburg Surgery Center explains that the IOL is a multi-step surgery that includes making a small incision in the cornea, removing the cataract, and inserting the artificial lens. The incision usually closes naturally without the need for stitches, and the procedure takes approximately 30 minutes.

Monofocal is the most common type of IOL surgery that gives the patient clear vision at one distance, either far or near. Multifocal IOLs can reduce the need for glasses as they provide clarity at multiple distances, whereas toric IOLs are suitable for those with astigmatism.

The procedures are performed with local anesthesia, and most patients experience minimal discomfort. To ensure safe healing, patients should follow the ophthalmologist’s aftercare instructions, which often include using eye drops and wearing an eye shield. Most patients start seeing results after a few days but can expect the full healing process to take several weeks.

In addition to cataract surgery, Roseburg Surgery Center offers glaucoma and laser eye surgery, foot and ankle repair, pain implants and stimulators in collaboration with its partner clinics.

“Our one-on-one approach to surgical care in Roseburg and surrounding cities makes our doctors and the staff the providers of choice,” a company spokesperson said. “We are here to help provide you with the best care!”
