Cataract surgery is a safe, common, and generally a painless outpatient procedure lasting 10 to 30 minutes, where a cloudy lens is replaced with an artificial one to restore clear vision. Vision improvement is typically noted within a few days, with complete healing taking 4 to 6 weeks. Cataract surgery boasts one of the highest success rates in medicine, with excellent visual outcomes in over 90% of cases. A variety of artificial intraocular lenses (IOLs) are now available to replace the cloudy natural lens.

If you think you may have cataracts, schedule an appointment with our doctor to explore your options. Washington: 636.239.7144 / Belle: 573.859.6614

We use a lensmeter to accurately measure, verify, and mark the power, cylinder, axis, and prism of prescription lenses. This tool helps us in 2 chief ways: 1) It helps us ensure finished eyewear meets our doctor's specifications. 2)To analyze a presenting patient’s current glasses for baseline information prior to their exam 🤓

Optical illusions can use color, light and patterns to create images that can be deceptive or misleading to our brains. The information gathered by our eyes is processed by our brains, creating a perception that in reality, does not match the true image. Perception refers to the interpretation of what we take in through our eyes. Optical illusions occur because our brains are trying to interpret what we see and make sense of the world around us. Optical illusions, simply trick our brains into seeing things which may or may not be real.

Now - for the fun of it: count all of the black dots you can see 🤓. Happy Monday, FB Friends!
