Cataract Surgery is an amazing and modern procedure – that only takes a few minutes. Dr. Edward Wade and Dr. Mark Mayo perform cataract surgery through a small incision with no sutures, injections or even an eye patch. Cataract surgery is not painful – we keep our patients comfortable by using IV sedation and numbing eye drops… and our cataract patients are able to return home the same day of surgery. In most cases, our patients are able to see through their eye immediately.

Most of our cataract patients are referred to us by their optometrist or other patients – which just goes to show that our practice is built on reputation and trust.
So what is the greatest part about cataract surgery? I think one of the greatest advances available to our cataract doctors is the ability to offer patients premium intraocular lenses or IOLs. Multifocal implants are designed to make patients less dependent on glasses for far and near and everything in between. The ReSTOR IOL, is a favorite of Dr. Wade and Dr. Mayo. As a matter of fact, Dr. Wade is one of the top ReSTOR surgeons in the country. Our patients have also enjoyed our use of the toric implant to reduce or eliminate the need for astigmatism. If a laser vision correction touch up is needed for the best result, we provide iLASIK bladeless custom LASIK at no additional charge.

At the Eye Center of Texas, we take care of all eye problems including macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease and retinopathy, lid problems, dry eyes and we specialize in laser vision correction and cataract surgery.
