Procedures

Procedures at Cornea & Cataract Consultants

You can get a variety of great procedures from a licensed and experienced eye doctor at Cornea & Cataract Consultants in Murfreesboro. The procedures we perform include cataract surgery, corneal transplants, and PRK, a refractive surgery that we perform with a laser to reshape your cornea and improve your vision. An eye surgeon at our practice can also perform PRK surgery in addition to LASIK surgery. We offer plenty of other types of eye care for you, too. 

Cataract Surgery Is Something an Eye Surgeon at Our Practice Can Do

Cataracts are a common and severe vision problem. A cataract consists of clouding that develops in your eye's lens. This clouding gradually decreases your vision, and, as a result, it becomes harder to do everyday things. Eventually, cataracts can seriously hamper your ability to live your life normally. We can perform cataract surgery to remove cataracts and make it so that your vision is clear once again.  

What about PRK Surgery?

PRK surgery is another procedure that we offer at our practice. PRK stands for Photo Reactive Keratectomy, and it is one type of eye surgery. An ophthalmologist at our practice can examine your eyes and see if this surgery would benefit you. PRK does reshape your cornea, so it is somewhat similar to LASIK surgery. However, one important distinction is that this surgery does not include cutting a flap in a patient’s cornea, so it can still be performed on patients with thinner corneas. 

We utilize an excimer laser to perform PRK surgery. In this surgery, we reshape your cornea's surface, correcting various vision issues such as astigmatism, farsightedness, and nearsightedness. After we finish PRK surgery, we put clear contact lenses into your eyes to avoid contamination of the surgical site. Generally speaking, we will remove these contact lenses three to five days after the surgery. Your cornea's surface layer grows back during that time. 

An Eye Doctor at Our Practice Can Perform Corneal Transplants

Sometimes it can be necessary to surgically replace an entire cornea or parts of it so that you can see better. Such surgery is known as keratoplasty or corneal transplant. Our ophthalmologist can take care of your corneal transplant surgery. Dr. Ewald, Dr. Chang, Dr. Groos, and Dr. Shivitz are all extremely qualified to do this surgery and are fellowship-trained.

It is also worth mentioning that our eye doctors are all cornea specialists, too. An eye surgeon at our practice can do this surgery so you can see clearly again. If you're in Murfreesboro, Nashville, or Franklin, TN, and you need this surgery, leave it to a qualified eye doctor at our practice.
