If your doctor tells you that you have a cataract and it should be removed, it may be frightening to consider .But, once you understand what a cataract is, how it will be removed, and the life-changing benefits cataract surgery can bring ,you’ll likely wish you’d had the procedure sooner. A cataract can progress until eventually there is a complete loss of vision in your eye and neither diet nor medical treatment will make a cataract go away. However, cataract surgery can help restore your vision and we are excited that you have chosen one of the leading surgeons at Eye Center Of Texas as your cataract surgeon. We feel it is a great complement that many local physicians and doctors of Optometry who have had eye diseases have chosen our surgeons to perform their own surgery.

Dr.Wade is one of the leading cataract surgeons in the country and does more cataract surgery than any surgeon in the state of Texas. He graduated number one is his medical school class at Baylor College of Medicine and was named Chief Resident at Baylor College of Medicine during his training there. He currently is one of the top 10 surgeons in the country using Multifocal lenses that correct, both distance and near vision without the use of glasses following cataract surgery. Patients can perform 90-95% of their visual tasks without glasses and the effect is permanent!

Dr. Mayo is also an expert at Multifocal lens correction and cataract surgery. Dr. Mayo graduated at the top of his medical school class at Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. He served as Chief resident at the prestigious Will's Eye Hospital in Philadelphia which is considered one of the top 3 training programs in the country. He is a regular on Houston's Top Doctors list, and has performed thousands of eye surgeries and regularly uses the new multifocal lenses to free patients from glasses.

Dr. Choi is also a member of the cataract surgery team at Eye Center of Texas, and like all of our doctors uses the latest technology and most advanced surgical techniques. We feel confident that you will receive the best treatment and care available today from any of our doctors.

Today, cataract surgery is the most common surgical procedure performed in the U.S. and one of the most successful! At the time of surgery the cataract (cloudy lens behind your pupil) is removed and you will receive a lens implant that will help correct your vision. Cataract surgery now affords patients the opportunity to correct the majority of their vision problems. Historically, neither astigmatism nor presbyopia (the need for reading glasses) were surgically correctable, which required patients to wear glasses after cataract surgery. The Eye Center of Texas now offers cataract patients the opportunity to correct presbyopia and astigmatism, along with previously existing nearsightedness and farsightedness (which often means: NO MORE GLASSES). However, there are additional fees for these options. While Medicare and/or private insurance companies will pay for cataract surgery, they will not pay for these additional up-garded options.
