Cataract Surgery and Intraocular Lens Implant in Camarillo, California
Cataract surgery can dramatically improve your vision by replacing the cloudy natural lens with a clear intraocular lens (IOL). Advanced IOL options, such as multifocal and toric lenses, correct additional vision issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, reducing your need for glasses or contacts. This quick outpatient procedure involves minimal recovery time and offers lasting results.
| Intraocular Lenses (IOL) | Zones of Clear Vision Without Glasses | Spectacle Independence |
|---|---|---|
| Monofocal | One focal zone of clear vision without glasses. Usually set for distance vision. | Provides clear vision at a specific distance, typically distance vision. One or two pairs of glasses will be required to for clear vision in the other two depths of focus, such as near and intermediate vision. |
| Multifocal | Multiple focal zones (near – intermediate – far) with clear vision or continuous range of clear intermediate-distance vision. | Reading glasses for very fine print. Bifocals may require glasses for medium-distance activities |
| Accommodating | Clear intermediate and distance vision. | Reading glasses for close vision tasks depending on the IOL model. |
| Toric Lens | Clear distance vision with monofocal toric iols. Multiple focal zones or extended range of clear vision with multifocal IOLs. | One or two additional pairs of glasses for near and intermediate vision unless the toric lens is also multifocal. Patients with multifocal toric lenses might still require reading glasses to read fine print. |
| Light Adjustable Lenses | The LAL has one focal point that is tailored to the patient’s visual needs. It provides clear vision at their desired distance. The more advanced LAL+ has one focal point of clear vision with a small extended depth of focus. | One or two additional pairs of glasses to provide clear vision outside the customized focal point. |
Other Surgical Eye Procedures in Camarillo, California
We perform several other surgical eye procedures at our clinic besides cataract and vision correction work. These include:
Pediatric Strabismus Surgery
Pediatric strabismus surgery corrects misalignment of the eyes in children, which can lead to vision problems and affect depth perception if left untreated. The surgery involves adjusting the muscles around the eyes to ensure they point in the same direction.
Glaucoma Surgery
Glaucoma surgery aims to reduce intraocular pressure to prevent damage to the optic nerve and preserve vision. Various surgical techniques, such as trabeculectomy, laser trabeculoplasty, or the implantation of drainage devices, are used to improve the outflow of fluid from the eye. This is crucial for preventing further vision loss.
Entropion/Ectropion Surgery in Camarillo
Entropion and ectropion surgeries address abnormal eyelid positioning, meaning the eyelid is turned inward or outward. Surgical correction involves repositioning the eyelid to its normal position, alleviating discomfort, and protecting the eye from further issues.

Corrective Eye Surgeries in Camarillo: LASIK, PRK & EVO ICL
Corrective eye surgeries offer effective solutions for achieving clear vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
LASIK eye surgery is very popular due to its quick recovery time and immediate results. The procedure shapes the cornea using a laser to correct refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Some may prefer or need corrective surgery alternatives to LASIK.
- PRK surgery is suitable for those with thinner corneas, as it also reshapes the cornea but without creating a flap, resulting in a slightly longer recovery period but similar vision improvements.
- Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) is a procedure similar to cataract surgery but performed primarily to correct refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and presbyopia. During RLE, the eye’s natural lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
- Patients with high refractive errors or thin corneas can opt for an Implantable Collamer Lens ( EVO ICL). This surgery provides a long-term solution which is also reversible, unlike LASIK , RLE and PRK.

We offer the latest and most advanced lifestyle lens on the market.
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.
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.
Laser Blepharoplasty
Laser blepharoplasty eye surgery, also known as laser eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure to rejuvenate eyelid tissues (skin, muscle, or fat). Blepharoplasty is performed for both cosmetic and vision correction purposes. NVISION has an eye clinic to help address your needs – Book a consultation today.
Pterygium Surgery
Pterygium surgery is performed under topical anesthesia on an outpatient basis.
Pediatric Strabismus Surgery
Pediatric strabismus surgery is a surgical procedure performed to correct misalignment of the eyes in children with strabismus—a condition characterized by an imbalance in the muscles that control eye movement, resulting in one or both eyes turning inward (esotropia), outward (exotropia), upward (hypertropia), or downward (hypotropia).
The goal of pediatric strabismus surgery is to realign the eyes, allowing them to work together properly and improving binocular vision. The procedure involves adjusting the tension or position of the eye muscles to achieve proper alignment.
Glaucoma Surgery
Glaucoma surgery encompasses various surgical procedures aimed at reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) to prevent or slow down the progression of glaucoma—a group of eye conditions characterized by damage to the optic nerve, often associated with elevated IOP.
There are several types of glaucoma surgery, including:
1. Trabeculectomy: This is one of the most common surgical procedures for glaucoma. During a trabeculectomy, a small flap is created in the sclera (the white part of the eye), allowing aqueous humor (the fluid inside the eye) to drain out of the eye and reduce IOP. Sometimes, a small device called a shunt or a drainage tube may be used to facilitate drainage.
2. Glaucoma Drainage Implants: Also known as glaucoma shunts or tubes, these devices are implanted into the eye to help drain aqueous humor and lower IOP. They are often used when other forms of glaucoma surgery, such as trabeculectomy, have not been successful.
3. Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): MIGS procedures are a newer category of glaucoma surgery that aim to reduce IOP through minimally invasive techniques with shorter recovery times and fewer complications compared to traditional surgeries. Examples of MIGS procedures include trabecular micro-bypass stents and canaloplasty.
4. Laser Surgery: Various laser procedures, such as selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI), and cyclophotocoagulation, are used to lower IOP by improving the outflow of aqueous humor or reducing its production.
The choice of glaucoma surgery depends on factors such as the type and severity of glaucoma, the patient’s overall health, and the surgeon’s preference and expertise. The goal of glaucoma surgery is to reduce IOP and preserve vision by preventing further damage to the optic nerve. However, it is important to note that while glaucoma surgery can help manage the condition, it may not always restore lost vision. Patients should discuss the potential risks, benefits, and alternatives of glaucoma surgery with their ophthalmologist or glaucoma specialist to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for their individual needs.
Brow Lift
A brow lift is a cosmetic procedure to raise the eye brows.
ENTROPION/ECTROPION
Entropion and ectropion are both eyelid conditions that involve the abnormal positioning of the eyelid margin, leading to irritation, discomfort, and in some cases, vision problems.
1. Entropion: Entropion occurs when the eyelid margin turns inward, causing the eyelashes and skin to rub against the cornea and conjunctiva (the clear membrane covering the white part of the eye). This can lead to symptoms such as eye redness, irritation, tearing, and blurred vision. Entropion is commonly caused by age-related changes to the eyelid tissues, scarring from injury or surgery, or underlying conditions such as trachoma or Bell’s palsy.
2. Ectropion: Ectropion occurs when the eyelid margin turns outward, exposing the inner surface of the eyelid and the conjunctiva to the environment. This can lead to symptoms such as eye dryness, irritation, tearing, and sensitivity to light. Ectropion may also cause cosmetic concerns, as the lower eyelid may appear droopy or sagging. Ectropion is commonly caused by age-related weakening of the eyelid tissues, scarring from injury or surgery, or conditions such as facial nerve palsy or skin disorders.
Both entropion and ectropion can be treated with surgical correction to reposition the eyelid margin and restore normal eyelid function. The specific treatment approach will depend on the underlying cause of the condition, the severity of symptoms, and other factors such as the patient’s overall health and preferences. It is essential for individuals experiencing symptoms of entropion or ectropion to consult with an ophthalmologist or oculoplastic surgeon for evaluation and appropriate management.
