Cataracts can gradually make everyday activities such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces more difficult. When cloudy vision starts affecting your quality of life, cataract surgery may restore clarity and improve visual function.
At Advanced Cataract & Glaucoma Care, PLLC, we provide advanced cataract surgery for patients throughout Tampa Bay and West Central Florida. Our experienced ophthalmologists combine specialized surgical training, modern technology, and personalized treatment planning to help patients make informed decisions about their vision.
Choosing an experienced cataract surgeon is an important part of preparing for surgery. Dr. Clinton Sheets and Dr. Amy Martino bring extensive ophthalmology experience and specialized glaucoma training to patients seeking cataract care.
Both physicians completed glaucoma fellowships at the renowned Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. Their advanced training allows them to evaluate complex eye conditions and develop individualized surgical recommendations.
With our office in Hudson, our team serves patients throughout Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, and Hillsborough counties. We prioritize careful evaluations, clear communication, and personalized attention throughout treatment.
Cataract surgery is generally performed as an outpatient procedure, allowing most patients to return home the same day.
During surgery, the ophthalmologist removes the cloudy natural lens and typically replaces it with a clear artificial intraocular lens, or IOL. Modern surgical techniques commonly use ultrasound technology to break apart and remove the cataract.
Numbing medication helps minimize discomfort, and most patients experience little or no pain during the procedure.
Following surgery, patients receive instructions regarding prescribed eye drops, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments. Vision often begins improving within several days, although complete healing takes longer and individual results vary.
Schedule a Cataract Consultation to discuss your treatment options.
Modern cataract surgery offers several lens options designed to address different vision needs. Our cataract specialists help patients understand the available choices and determine which lenses suit their eyes.
Monofocal Lenses: Provide a primary focus at one distance, often improving distance vision while leaving patients dependent on reading glasses for closer activities.
Toric Lenses: Correct astigmatism and may reduce dependence on prescription glasses for certain activities.
Multifocal Lenses: Provide multiple focusing distances and may reduce the need for glasses when reading, using digital devices, or viewing distant objects.
Lens selection depends on factors such as eye health, existing vision conditions, and daily activities. No lens guarantees complete freedom from glasses, making a personalized evaluation essential.
Your consultation begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your eyes and visual concerns.
Our team may perform a dilated eye examination and detailed measurements of your eye’s size and shape. These measurements help determine the appropriate artificial lens power and assess your suitability for surgery.
Your surgeon will also review your medical history, discuss your vision goals, and explain the benefits and risks of available treatment options.
Patients with additional eye conditions, including glaucoma, receive individualized consideration when developing their surgical plans.
If cataracts are affecting your daily activities, our experienced cataract specialists are ready to help you explore your treatment options.
