Have you been told you have
Cataracts? Have you been putting off
having cataract surgery because you
don’t want the hassle of traveling out
of town? Dr. Patrick Gregg MD is a
board certified Ophthalmologist and
sees patients at his office right here in
Canby. That means all your pre-op
and post-op exams are conveniently
located right here in town. Surgery is
performed at Providence Willamette
Falls Hospital. Dr. Gregg has per-
formed over 1000 cataract proce-
dures and uses the most advanced
techniques for
cataract surgery no
needle, no stitch. If
you have met your
Medical Deductible
for the year you
might consider hav-
ing your cataract sur-
gery done before
insurance changes
take place in 2014.
A cataract is a
clouding of the eye's
lens.When we look
at something, light
rays travel into our eye through the
pupil and are focused through the
lens onto the retina, a layer of light-
sensitive cells at the back of the eye.
The lens must be clear in order to
focus light properly onto the retina. If
the lens has become cloudy, this is
called a cataract.
If your vision has become blurry,
cloudy or dim, or things you see are
not as bright or colorful as they used
to be, a cataract may have developed
in one or both of your eyes. Many
people say that their vision with
cataracts is similar to the effect of
looking through a dirty car wind-
shield.
As a cataract slowly begins to
develop, you may not notice any
changes in your vision at first. But as
the cataract progresses, you may
begin to find that it interferes with
your daily activities. Performing a
complete eye exam, your ophthal-
mologist, can tell you whether
cataract or another problem is the
cause of your vision loss.
While cataracts are one of the most
common causes of vision loss, espe-
cially as we age, they are treatable
with cataract surgery. Since most
cataracts are part of the normal aging
process, they cannot be reversed.
There are no medications or eye
drops that will make cataracts go
away—surgery is the only treatment.
A cataract may not need to be
removed right away if your lifestyle
isn't significantly affected. In some
cases, simply changing your eyeglass
prescription may help to improve
your vision. Contrary to popular
belief, a cataract does not have to be
"ripe" to be removed. However, once
you are diagnosed with a cataract,
your ophthalmologist needs to moni-
tor your vision regularly for any
changes.
When a cataract causes bother-
some vision problems that interfere
with your daily activities, your oph-
thalmologist may recommend sur-
gery to remove the cataract.With
cataract surgery, your eye's cloudy
natural lens is removed and replaced
with a clear artificial lens implant
(called an intraocular lens or IOL).Your
Ophthalmologist can discuss the
cataract surgery procedure, prepara-
tion for and recovery after surgery,
benefits and possible complications
of cataract surgery, cataract surgery
costs and other important informa-
tion. Together, you can decide if
cataract surgery is appropriate for
you.
