Millions of people suffer from cataracts and sometimes the thought of surgery can be somewhat unsettling. Thankfully, major advancements in cataract removal have made the procedure one of the safest and most successful surgeries of any type. Smaller incisions, foldable implants, topical anesthesia, and state-of-the-art equipment have been contributing factors. More recent improvements include the development of ‘Premium’ implants, which include the ReSTOR™ & ReZoom™ multi-focal implants, the Crystalens™ accommodative lens implant, and the new Acrysof™ Toric implant for astigmatism.

These advanced implants help patients reduce or even eliminate the need for glasses altogether. Piedmont Eye Center has helped to bring these latest developments to residents of Central Virginia. With three highly trained and experienced cataract surgeons operating in two convenient ambulatory surgical facilities, Piedmont Eye Center provides patients more options and the highest level of advanced cataract surgery.
