Cataract Surgery

Did you know that the human eye functions very much like a camera?  If your camera's lens becomes foggy or cloudy, then your pictures will be blurry.  Similarly, a cataract causes the light focusing on the retina of your eye to be flurred or hazy.

Cataracts are the number one cause of poor vision among adults.  Two-thirds of the people over 65 experience some loss of vision due to cataracts.

Today, this condition can be corrected surgically, on an outpatient basis.  This greatly reduces the cost to you.  Dr. Stempihar performs no stitch cataract surgery, which promotes fast recovery and has restored functional vision to thousands of patients.  If you would like more information about cataracts and their removal please ask our surgical coordinator for assistance.

Dr. Stempihar performs eye surgery on an outpatient basis at 3 local hospitals.

• Grand View Hospital
