Cutting-Edge Cataract Care in a Comfortable Setting at Hawaii Vision Clinic Inc.
Cataracts, or a clouding that forms in the crystalline lens of the eye, are present in 20.5 million Americans over the age of 40. The most common causes aside from aging, are high lifetime UV exposure, diabetes, toxic compounds and trauma. A degenerative vision condition, cataracts will gradually cause vision loss and lead to blindness if it’s not treated. Treatment for it is surgery and is performed by a highly trained ophthalmologist.
Luckily, cataracts sufferers in Hawaii have the good fortune of having one of the best ophthalmologists in the country at their service: Dr. William K. Wong, Jr. of Hawaii Vision Clinic Inc. Whereas previous approaches to treatment involved removing cataracts through the manual microsurgical use of blades, computer-guided laser cataract surgery is the latest technological advancement with increased precision. When combined with the new advanced technology lens implants, we can now optimize your vision to fit your lifestyle and needs. It is Dr. Wong’s aim to employ the latest in technology for his patient’s benefit.
Even while the process of cataract surgery at Hawaii Vision Clinic is automated and cutting edge, the staff at the clinic strives to treat their patients the old-fashioned way. They want everyone who walks in to feel at home, and, ultimately, it’s that personal touch that truly differentiates them from others.
