Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery in North Sacramento, California
A cataract occurs when the normally clear lens of the eye becomes cloudy, preventing light from passing through and focusing properly on the retina. This happens when the proteins in the lens start to break down and clump together. During the early stages of a cataract, you may be able to use glasses to correct your vision. However, advanced cataracts can only be treated with surgery.
During cataract surgery, surgeons remove the cloudy lens of the eye and replace it with an artificial clear lens to improve vision. Cataract surgery is the most common surgical procedure performed in the United States – it is very safe and highly effective, with a 99% success rate.
At NVISION® clinics, we specialize in laser-assisted cataract surgery. This newer technique uses a femtosecond laser to perform key steps of the procedure. The laser is used to create the incisions in the cornea and to break up the cataract into smaller pieces for removal. This allows for a more precise and controlled procedure compared to traditional manual techniques.
Premium IOLs (intraocular lenses) for Optimal Vision
Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are artificial lenses implanted in the eye during cataract surgery to replace the cloudy natural lens. There are different types of IOLs available to suit different vision needs and lifestyles:
Basic Lenses
Basic lenses, also known as monofocal lenses, provide one point of clear focus for the eye, typically set for distance vision. This means that patients will still need reading glasses for near vision after the procedure.
Lifestyle Lenses
Lifestyle lenses, on the other hand, are designed to provide a broader range of vision, including near, intermediate, and distance vision, with less dependence on glasses. NVISION® Eye Centers in North Sacramento offers a range of IOLs, including:
Acrysof IQ Vivity Extended Vision IOL
This IOL provides extended depth of focus. The lens has only one corrective zone that is expanded, which improves distance vision and intermediate vision and can therefore reduce the need for glasses or contacts.
PanOptix Trifocal IOL
This lens is designed to provide three distinct zones of focus (long, medium, and short distance), allowing patients to see clearly at multiple distances without needing glasses or contacts.
The main difference between a basic lens and a lifestyle lens is the level of visual clarity and focusing capability they provide.
Light Adjustable IOL
The Light Adjustable Lens is designed to be adjusted after implantation to fine-tune the patient’s vision, allowing for more precise correction of refractive errors and less dependence on glasses or contacts.
LASIK Eye Surgery in North Sacramento
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a refractive surgery that permanently changes the shape of the cornea to improve vision and reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses. It corrects refractive errors such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism.
An excimer laser is used to remove a thin layer of corneal tissue, giving the cornea a new shape to focus light properly on the retina. LASIK surgery typically takes around 10-15 minutes per eye, and the entire procedure usually lasts around 30 minutes to an hour.
LASIK eye surgery has a high success rate, with over 96% of patients achieving 20/40 vision or better and 90% achieving ideal 20/20 vision. Discover who can get lasik and how long lasik typically lasts.

Contoura® Vision LASIK
Contoura® Vision LASIK?
Contoura® Vision LASIK is an advanced form of LASIK eye surgery that utilizes topography-guided technology to tailor the laser treatment to the unique characteristics of an individual’s cornea. This technology aims to provide a more personalized and precise correction of refractive errors, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Contoura® Vision creates a highly precise and accurate map of a patient’s eyes measuring up to 22,000 unique elevation points on each eye.
Key features of Contoura® Vision LASIK include:
1. Topography-Guided Treatment:
– Contoura® Vision LASIK utilizes detailed corneal mapping or corneal topography to create a highly customized treatment plan. This map captures thousands of data points on the cornea, allowing for a more precise analysis of its shape and irregularities.
2. Personalized Correction:
– The topography-guided technology enables the laser to precisely reshape the cornea based on the unique imperfections detected in the corneal map. This personalized approach aims to address higher-order aberrations, improving not only traditional refractive errors but also the overall quality of vision.
3. Reduced Glare and Halos:
– Contoura® Vision LASIK is designed to reduce the occurrence of visual disturbances such as glare and halos, which can be associated with certain refractive errors. The customized treatment may result in improved night vision and reduced sensitivity to light.
4. Potential for Better Visual Outcomes:
– The goal of Contoura® Vision LASIK is to achieve superior visual outcomes by optimizing the correction based on the individual characteristics of the patient’s cornea.
It’s important to note that the availability of Contoura® Vision LASIK may vary, and not all LASIK centers offer this specific technology. If you are considering LASIK surgery and are interested in Contoura® Vision LASIK, it’s recommended to consult with an experienced refractive surgeon or LASIK eye doctor who can assess your candidacy and discuss the available options for personalized laser vision correction.
PRK Surgery (Photorefractive Keratectomy)
What is PRK Surgery?
PRK Surgery (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a type of laser eye surgery that is used to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. PRK is an alternative to LASIK eye surgery and is particularly suitable for individuals who may not be candidates for LASIK due to certain corneal characteristics.
Overview of the PRK surgery process:
- Corneal Epithelium Removal:
- In PRK, the surgeon begins by removing the thin outer layer of the cornea called the epithelium. This can be done using an alcohol solution, a special brush, or a laser.
- Laser Reshaping of the Cornea:
- Once the epithelium is removed, a laser is used to precisely reshape the cornea. The laser ablates or removes microscopic amounts of corneal tissue based on the patient’s refractive error. The goal is to correct the curvature of the cornea and improve the focus of light on the retina.
- Healing Process:
- Unlike LASIK, where a corneal flap is created, PRK does not involve creating a flap. Instead, the corneal surface is allowed to regenerate naturally. The healing process involves the growth of new epithelial cells over the treated area.
- Post-operative Care:
- Following PRK surgery, patients are given medicated eye drops to aid in the healing process and prevent infection. Recovery may take a bit longer compared to LASIK, and patients may experience temporary discomfort during the initial days.
Key considerations for PRK surgery include:
- Corneal Thickness: PRK may be a suitable option for individuals with thinner corneas who may not be ideal candidates for LASIK.
- Occupational Considerations: PRK may be recommended for individuals with occupations or lifestyles that carry a risk of corneal injury, as it eliminates the creation of a corneal flap.
- Healing Time: The initial visual recovery may take longer with PRK compared to LASIK. Patients typically experience optimal vision several weeks after the procedure.
PRK is a well-established and effective procedure for vision correction, and its suitability depends on individual factors. It’s important to consult with an experienced refractive surgeon or eye care professional to determine the most appropriate laser eye surgery option based on your eye health and lifestyle.
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)
Refractive lens exchange (RLE), is when a clear lens is implanted to replace your eye’s natural lens to correct your vision.
This procedure is often used for pre-cataract patients, as a preventative vision correction solution. Refractive lens exchange (RLE) can also correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Lifestyle Lenses
Lifestyle lenses are a premium lens option that offers a more functional range of vision, and are designed to reduce the need for distance and reading glasses.
We offer the latest and most advanced lifestyle lens on the market.
Pterygium Surgery
Pterygium surgery is performed under topical anesthesia on an outpatient basis.
Corneal Collagen Crosslinking (CXL)
Keratoconus is a progressive disease of the cornea. With collagen cross-linking (CXL), you can halt the progression of keratoconus by strengthening your cornea.
