Understanding Cataracts and Your Treatment Options

Cataracts affect nearly everyone eventually, gradually clouding the eye's natural lens and blurring vision. Ophthalmology Associates has diagnosed and treated cataracts across North Texas for more than 50 years, guiding patients from that first sign of blurred vision through a full recovery.

Cataract surgery remains one of the most common and successful procedures in medicine, and our physicians walk you through every step, from confirming a diagnosis to choosing the right lens for your eyes and your lifestyle.

Schedule a cataract evaluation to see how much your vision has changed and what your options are.

Thank you all.

Thank you all. I love it and I can see y’all are the best if I had to do it again and go back with you all. My vision is perfect. I do not have to wear glasses either!

After having really excellent vision from my youth thru about age forty, I have gone through reading glasses, bifocals and no line bifocal and my vision seemed to just keep getting worse, and then I needed cataract surgery. Now at age sixty-six years, I feel as if I am twenty years old again, vision-wise. From near to far, I can see sharply again with the lens implants and no cataracts. The whole procedure has been a great experience for me and I hope others can benefit also.

Life is great thanks to Dr. Warren!

I can’t believe my vision! Before my surgery, I needed glasses for distance and near. Now I can drive and read without my glasses! Life is great thanks to Dr. Warren!

My decision to have Premium implant surgery has to rank as one of the best decisions I have ever made – and the decision to have Dr. Warren perform this is a major part of that, having researched and interviewed numerous other ophthalmologists before making my choice. I had a progressive case of cataracts post-heart transplant which I thought might be irreversible. After the Premium lens implant, my eyesight is 20/20 or better. The total experience has been delightful, especially the interaction with the staff. Every aspect of my Premium lens experience has been professional and pleasurable. I recommend Dr. Warren and his staff for the best in ophthalmological care.

Before the Toric Lens was implanted, I had to wear contacts or glasses to read the newspaper, books or music. Now, I am free of those aids. The fee is a small price to pay for what seems to me, perfect vision.
