Cataract surgery at the Eye Center of Texas by Dr. Edward Wade or Dr. Mark Mayo is a painless and pleasant experience. When a cataract becomes dense enough so that it interferes with your daily living, we discuss the option of cataract surgery. Cataract surgery takes about 10 minutes and patients return to the comfort of their home the very same day. There is little to no pain and Dr. Wade and Dr. Mayo do not use painful injections, stitches or even an eye patch after surgery. Patients stay in their own clothes for comfort and receive IV sedation so that they are comfortable during the procedure.

Patients have a choice in intraocular lens implants lenses or IOLs that are used to restore their vision. The standard lens we use is the monofocal which corrects distance vision. With this lens, patients still need glasses for reading. If patients have a desire to see without glasses, we offer the ReSTOR IOL. This premium implant allows patients to see near, far and everything in between without glasses or with a limited use of glasses. You do not have to choose one of these implants, but if you desire less dependence on glasses, they are a wonderful way to achieve it.

The ReSTOR intraocular lens implant requires an extra charge, but this cost can be financed through Care Credit. Our patients love the ability to spread the cost over years without incurring expensive financing charges.
