Better Living through Laser Cataract Surgery

What is a cataract?

Cataracts are typically caused by the natural aging process that occurs inside of the eye. It’s a gradual clouding of the eye’s clear, natural lens that can, over time, make your vision less sharp.

Recognize the signs and symptoms:

• Blurry or cloudy vision
• Glasses prescription changes often
• Colors appear dull and washed out
• Difficulty reading in low light
• Poor night vision
• Halos or glare around lights

Cataract Surgery At Commonwealth Saves You Money

Although the experience and expertise of a dedicated staff, newest technology, and unsurpassed outcomes are what truly sets Commonwealth Eye Surgery apart from its competitors, one cannot overlook both the cost and time savings with our facilities as compared to the outpatient surgery departments at local community-based hospitals.

Our Medicare patients save an average of $393 for bilateral (both eyes) cataract surgery and our Anthem patients save an average of $1097.

Most Insurance & Medicare Accepted

Don’t wait, see better now! Traditional cataract surgery with a standard lens is usually covered by Medicare and insurance when it’s medically necessary (co-insurance & deductibles may apply).

If left untreated, cataracts will eventually begin to interfere with normal, everyday activities. The time to have cataract surgery is when your quality of life has been impacted by poor vision. With today’s safer, more precise technology, there’s never been a better time to have cataract surgery.

Don’t wait. See better now! Ask your local optometrist if you’re ready for cataract surgery.

“Commonwealth Eye Surgery Center did both of my cataract surgeries and I want to praise them for their care. The staff assigned to my surgeries were supportive and caring. The doctors were skilled and took the time to discuss each step of the process. When anyone I know needs eye surgery, I will certainly recommend Commonwealth Eye Surgery. By the way, I can read and sew without glasses. YEAH!”
