2. Keep a safe distance from the firework. More than 60% of injuries caused by fireworks happen to innocent bystanders.
3. Keep fireworks away from children. Fireworks handled by children put not only the child, but those around the child at a greater risk of injury.

Cataract Fact #4

Here’s your Cataract Fact of the Day:
At Wiles Eye Center, we use the ORA (Optiwave Refractive Analysis) System to provide the best outcome of cataract surgery possible. This system is an intra-operative guidance technology that helps surgeons determine which Intraocular lens implant is best for the patient. This allows less waiting time for the patient to actually undergo surgery. This system also helps enhance the vision quality of patients and increases the success rate of cataract surgery.

FAQs for Cataract Surgery

The cataract surgeons at Wiles Eye Center believe it is natural for candidates to have questions about the procedure. Check out our list of the most frequently asked questions, and submit your own by sending us an email today.

Am I too old for cataract surgery?

There is no established age limit for cataract surgery. As long as you are in good health and our cataract surgeons deem you a suitable candidate, you can safely undergo cataract surgery.

Can I have cataract surgery if I had LASIK?

Yes, it is possible to have cataract surgery after having LASIK. The only caveat is that in order to deliver the best possible cataract surgery results, your surgeon needs information about your eyesight and eyes prior to LASIK. You may be asked to obtain your pre-LASIK medical records in order to provide the surgeon with this information.

How soon after cataract surgery can I drive?

You can drive when: a) your postoperative vision meets the state results for driving vision; and b) you feel comfortable enough to get behind the wheel. This usually occurs within a week of surgery.

Can I have cataract surgery if I have glaucoma?

Yes, patients with glaucoma can undergo cataract surgery. These patients typically require some extra care and monitoring of their intraocular pressure. Additional follow-up visits may be required.

What is Micro-Touch Advanced Cataract Surgery?

Micro-Touch advanced cataract surgery is a variation of traditional cataract surgery using techniques pioneered by Dr. Wiles. The cataract is removed through a small opening that can heal on its own without stitches. It is shorter, safer and more successful than traditional cataract surgery.

Will I need glasses after cataract surgery?

Whether you wear glasses after cataract surgery depends on the type of IOL you choose to have implanted. Standard IOLs restore clear vision at a single fixed distance, and usually require glasses to see at other distances. On the other hand, multifocal or accommodating IOLs restore clear vision at multiple distances. Although no IOL can guarantee that you will never need to wear glasses again, multifocal or accommodating lenses reduce dependence on glasses most of the time.

My grandfather had to wear thick clumsy glasses after cataract surgery. Will that be the same for me?

No, if you do need eyeglasses after cataract surgery, you can select a sleeker design with the help of our optometrist.

Can cataract surgery fix my astigmatism?

Yes, there are two ways to fix astigmatism in cataract patients. The first option is to place a special toric IOL that has built-in astigmatism correction. The second is to make what are known as limbal relaxing incisions to relax the curvature of the cornea. Sometimes the two approaches are combined.

What You Didn’t Know About Eye Exams

Here are some things you didn’t know about eye exams:

You may be surprised to know what can be determined from something as simple as a person’s eye exam. Sometimes, these exams uncover diseases the patient didn’t even know they had. If something’s negatively affecting the body, it will also affect the eyes.  It’s not an independent system. Almost every day, we’re working along with primary care physicians and other specialists to provide treatment for our patient.

Please call us at Wiles Eye Center to schedule your annual eye exam. The number to our Kansas City location is 816-455-2020. The number to our St. Joseph location is 816-279-7015.
