Cataract surgery may be recommended when the clear, natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy and causes blurred vision. Many individuals report the cataract increases glare and halo around lights, impedes night driving and makes reading challenging. Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed out-patient procedures in the United States.

During cataract surgery, the cloudy natural lens of the eye is removed and, in most cases, a clear artificial lens is inserted. This artificial lens is called an intraocular lens (IOL). There are several options available when selecting an IOL. During the preoperative consultation, your surgeon will review the different lens options with you and make a recommendation based upon your desired goals following surgery.

Vermont Laser Vision offers state-of-the-art laser vision correction procedures and Vermont’s most highly experience and fellowship trained surgeon, Dr. Greg McCormick. Dr. McCormick offers a CustomVue platform with Iris Registration and Femtosecond Bladeless LASIK technology, so you can achieve your personal best vision. Vermont Laser Vision analyzed the past 500 consecutive eyes; the rate of 20/20 (or better) outcomes is 97.6%! That rivals some of the best refractive centers in the nation. Dr. McCormick’s enhancement rate is 1.8% which goes to prove that Vermont Laser Vision is an excellent choice for your refractive surgery needs. Dr. McCormick prides himself in having a phenomenal safety record – he has never had a case of loss of best corrected vision.

Dr. McCormick offers free consultations to validate your candidacy for laser vision correction. One of our LASIK coordinators is happy to speak with you about your goals. We want to take the fear out of LASIK by educating you on our technology and acquainting you with our stellar team.

Upper or lower eyelids can become droopy or baggy due to the aging process. Cosmetically, such conditions may cause an older or tired appearance. The benefits of this surgery may include:

  • Brightening a “tired” appearance
  • Lifting excess skin that may impair the vision
  • Reduction of wrinkles and fine lines surrounding the eyes

As Vermont’s only American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (ASOPRS) fellowship trained surgeon, Dr. Katherine Lane can help patients attain beautiful, natural-looking results. Dr. Lane offers a variety of cosmetic eyelid surgeries, among other specialized procedures and treatments. Patients admire her years of education, training, and experienced combined with her kind bedside manner.

The decision to have cosmetic eyelid surgery is personal and the process can seem overwhelming. At Ophthalmic Consultants of Vermont, we want to provide patients with an experienced and compassionate team who is committed to providing safety and success. Our goal is to make you feel welcome and well cared-for, and our expert team goes above and beyond to support you through your treatment experience.
