Laser Cataract San Antonio- Ophthalmologist J.T. Kavanagh MD of Eye Associates of South Texas performs laser cataract surgery on patients from all his 11 locations: San Antonio Medical Center, San Antonio North Central, Seguin, New Braunfels, La Vernia, San Marcos, Hondo, Castroville, Luling, Lockhart, and Gonzales.

Laser Cataract surgery is a newer technique to aid with the removal of cataracts more precisely than is possible with manual or basic methods. Dr. Kavanagh has performed well over 25,000 cataract surgeries (more than any surgeon in the region) and is well versed in reproducible manual cataract surgery, but even he admits the laser can be more precise in the placement of incisions and fragmentation of the cataract. He believes the increased accuracy can provide better outcomes in cataract surgery for some cases.

Dr. Kavanagh uses both the LenSx and Lensar platforms for his cataract patients. The procedure has been described as quick and painless. See a Youtube video of Laser Cataract San Antonio performed by Dr. Kavanagh on his YouTube channel.

PRIORITIZING YOUR EYE HEALTH AS YOU AGE

As we age, our risk of developing eye diseases increases significantly. In fact, one in six Americans aged 65 and older has a vision impairment that cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. Conditions such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma are more prevalent in older adults and can lead to significant vision loss if not properly managed.

THE HEALTH EXAM YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU NEEDED

Some of the leading causes of blindness—such as glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy—can begin without any symptoms.

Early signs of disease and changes in vision may start to happen at this age.
