The goal of cataract surgery should be to remove that cataract and correct any refractive errors. For example, significant astigmatism will degrade the image quality projected onto the retina, so it should be treated at the time of cataract surgery. For years, St. Luke’s has specialized in the treatment of astigmatism and helped patients achieve superior vision quality. If you suffer from astigmatism, cataracts, or other ocular maladie, we invite you to make an appointment at any of our five convenient locations.

Intraocular Lens Implants (IOLs) are one of the most successful global surgical procedures, with an estimated 12 to 15 million IOLs inserted each year. This number is projected to grow considerably over the next 20 years due to the aging population and, most importantly, patient demand for higher quality vision.
Lenstec’s Softec HD implant was designed to meet these higher patient expectations for improved vision. We encourage you to speak with one of our ophthalmologists about the latest advancement in vision technology.
