Looking for a Ridgewood NJ ophthalmologist that specializes in small incision cataract surgery? Then look no further than Wyckoff Ophthalmology, where for over twenty years Dr. Melanie Sinatra and her friendly staff use the most advanced technology available in order to provide the highest medical care to each patient so they can enjoy the best possible vision. Dr. Sinatra is a highly trained cataract surgeon who performs small incision, sutureless cataract surgery.
A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of your eye. Most cataracts develop slowly and don't disturb your eyesight early on. As the cataracts progress, however, it will eventually interfere with your vision, eyeglasses prescriptions will change frequently, and daily visual functions will become impaired. Clouded vision caused by cataracts can make it more difficult to read, drive a car (especially at night), or even see the expression on a friend's face. At first, stronger lighting and eyeglasses can help you deal with cataracts. But if impaired vision interferes with your usual activities, you might need cataract surgery, and should contact your Ridgewood NJ ophthalmologist and ask about small incision cataract surgery. Dr. Sinatra is board-certified and fellowship-trained and is specifically skilled in removing cataracts, and is also experienced in the recognition and treatment of complications of cataract surgery. During this procedure, Dr. Sinatra will use a self-sealing small incision which does not require suture closure. She will then remove the cloudy lens and implant and artificial lens. The entire process is completed in less than half an hour and is performed under local anesthesia. After surgery with traditional mono-focal lenses, most patients experience very good distance vision. However, most people receiving these standard lenses still require reading glasses or bifocals to have a full range of vision.
We treat all of our patients like family. When you visit our office, you can rest assured knowing that you and your loved ones will be cared for with the utmost compassion, expertise, and attention. The search for a Ridgewood NJ ophthalmologist doesn’t have to be as cloudy as your vision; Wyckoff Ophthalmology is clearly the destination for your small incision cataract surgery.
