Augusta Cataract Surgery

The term “cataract” refers to the hardening and clouding of the lens as a natural phenomena caused by aging. In the early stages, cataract causes a blurred vision and color sensitivity loss.

If cataract is left untreated, it could lead to visual impairment and even blindness. Fortunately today, cataract surgery is one of the most successful eye surgery procedures performed throughout the world. Each year over 2.5 million cataracts are removed.

"No Stitch, No Shot, No Pain, No Bandage"
Dr. Bruckner is known for his expertise in treatment of cataract patients with his "No Stitch, No Shot, No Pain, No Bandage" small opening cataract surgery, which offers very rapid visual return.  Dr. Bruckner uses state-of-the-art intraocular lens implants for his patients. In appropriate cases, Dr. Bruckner will insert a multifocal implant. A multifocal lens implant may alleviate the need for glasses after the surgery.

Cataract removal is a ten-minute painless surgery and often patients can see without glasses following this procedure.

Multifocal IOL
Dr. Bruckner has extensive experience with the Array multifocal intraocular lens. He has implanted numerous multifocal intraocular lenses in patients during cataract surgery. In the right situation a multifocal IOL may allow the patients to see both near and at distance without glasses.

YAG Laser Treatment
About 20% of patients will develop haze behind the intraocular lens (IOL) implant following cataract surgery. This haze may result in glare, blurred, or hazy vision. This condition is known as posterior capsule opacity and is sometimes referred to as “secondary cataract.”

Posterior capsule opacity may be treated with a minor laser procedure known as a YAG laser capsulotomy. Using the YAG laser, Dr. Bruckner removes the hazy capsule behind the IOL lens. This procedure is painless and only takes a few minutes.

Dr. Bruckner has been a leading cataract surgeon in Georgia for years and has taught state-of-the-art cataract surgery to other ophthalmologists both in the US and throughout the world.
