Advanced Surgery

Dr. Wise has performed thousands of small incision, no stitch cataract extractions. Most patients undergo this procedure with anesthesia provided by medication applied to the surface of the eye. This is in contrast to older techniques requiring an injection behind the eye with potential for bleeding and other complications. Therefore, it is not necessary to discontinue life saving blood thinners including Coumadin, Plavix, and Aspirin prior to cataract surgery. Dr. Wise is an expert in new lens implant technology (including Acrysof RESTOR, and Acrysof Toric) which has the potential of eliminating or reducing one’s dependence on glasses postoperatively for distance and near tasks. Dr.Wise is one of the first doctors in the area to employ the LenSx laser, the newest advancement in cataract surgery known as "bladeless" cataract surgery.A portion of the procedure previously performed by hand can now be facilitated with FEMTOSECOND LASER technology. Let Dr. Wise and his staff customize the best cataract surgical procedure for your individual needs. >>> click here for video demonstration
