Intraocular Lens Implants in New York, NY

Degenerative eye conditions, like cataracts, have a tendency to start slowly but ramp up as the months' pass. You may not notice a problem at first, perhaps your vision is only slightly blurrier, but over time, your visual sharpness will decline ever further. You may even lose your sense of color recognition. Many people are able to solve some issues with new prescriptions for their eyeglasses or contacts, but eventually, this may no longer be effective. It’s vital to treat the issue entirely and see Dr. Mark Hornfeld M.D, D.O., a trusted, licensed ophthalmologist in New York, NY.

One of the most efficient ways to combat cataracts is the use of intraocular lens implants during surgery. Intraocular lenses or IOL’s are tiny plastic lenses, much like the natural tones in your eyes. IOL’s have “struts” to hold them in place. They are a powerful tool used to recreate your visual acuity after cataract surgery, without the need for specialized contact lenses or thick glasses. After surgery, they perform the function of the eye, as the eye would normally work. While most commonly used to treat cataract conditions, intraocular lens implants are also used to bring relief to patients with astigmatism and presbyopia. The team at Dr. Mark Hornfeld’s office will diagnose your specific condition and do everything in their ability to get your vision back to normal, with their dedication to compassion, efficiency, and professionalism. They’ll always be here to answer your questions, explain what the next steps are going to be, and never leave you in the dark.

Why High-Tech Lens Implants?

We understand the idea of having something inserted into your eye can be a scary thought, but the procedure is quite simple. Indeed, the use of high-tech lenses is an established medical solution with numerous benefits to patients whose lives have previously been filled with hazy, clouded images. IOL’s are ideal for individuals who are yearning to leave their glasses behind, have had prior surgery for myopia and are suffering continued blurred vision, or for those who need a remedy for their ongoing cataracts. Once they’ve been fitted to your eyes, high-tech IOL’s are enduring and quite capable of lasting the rest of your life without needing to be adjusted or replaced. It’s an excellent solution for seeing well, but there are some caveats.

As a treatment for eye issues, it is highly dependent on your diagnosis, vision type, and personal health. Certain IOL’s may not be right for your situation, which is why it’s important to consult a reputable ophthalmologist in your area.

These implants are a personalized solution, meaning you need a skilled medical professional like Dr. Mark Hornfeld M.D, D.O. to correctly identify the right types of IOL’s for you. He’s dedicated to your eye health and has been making sure his patients are happy with their vision for many years. No one will be satisfied until you’re seeing with crystal clarity, and he and his team will do their absolute best to make sure that happens.

Cataract Surgery

A cataract is a clouding of the eye's naturally clear lens. The lens focuses light rays on the retina, the layer of light-sensing cells lining the back of the eye, to produce a sharp image of what we see. When the lens becomes cloudy, light rays cannot pass through it easily, and vision is blurred. In cataract surgery, the cloudy lens is removed from the eye through a surgical incision. In most cases, the natural lens is replaced with a permanent intraocular lens (IOL) implant. We now offer the option of removing the cataract using advanced laser (femtosecond laser) technology.

Glaucoma Management

The optic nerve carries the visual signal that the eye creates to the brain. Glaucoma is a disease in which the optic nerve is damaged. This, in turn, leads to an insidious loss of vision. Prompt detection and management of glaucoma is crucial in preventing damage. Therapies for this disease include eye drops, laser, and incisional surgeries. The key is early detection and prevention of visual deterioration.
