Dr. Yavitz introduced folding IOLs and the YAG laser to Rockford over 20 years ago and has successfully placed 25,000 of them, including the first multifocal IOL (Array).
The lens of the eye is clear when we are young, but as we age it begins to cloud and the result is a cataract. In addition to aging, some prescribed medications, ultraviolet sunlight exposure, and diseases may begin or accelerate their development.
The removal of cataracts today by a skilled ophthalmic surgeon is a safe and proven procedure that restores a clear visual image to the patient. After the removal of the cloudy lens a plastic lens called an implant, specifically designed and selected for the patient, is inserted into the eye. If your goal is to go without glasses after surgery; Yavitz Eye Center is your most economical choice. Other clinics charge over $5000 for premium multi-focal implants, at Yavitz Eye Center you go without glasses for a fraction of what others charge. Published reports advise against using premium implants in both eyes after cataract surgery to avoid waxy vision. See the advanced TECNIS® MULTIFOCAL LENS below.
Dr. Yavitz uses a no-shot technique (only topical anesthetic eye drops) to numb the eye, and after surgery most patients leave without an eye patch. Because of this advance, most patients are able to resume many of their daily activities.
Yavitz Eye Center has been named a Center of Excellence by Allergan Corporation for our cataract surgery. Additionally, Dr. Yavitz has been recognized by the American College of Eye Surgeons for his skill in cataract surgery and has performed tens of thousands of successful cataract surgeries over his 30 year practice.
