Cataract Surgery Specialists in West Covina
Drs. Mark Lin and Philip Ngai are devoted cataract surgeons & specialists located in West Covina and the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles, with expertise in complex, small incision, sutureless, and refractive cataract surgery.
Cataracts are the most common cause of reversible blindness worldwide. Thankfully, it is possible to correct and remove cataracts. In fact, cataract extraction surgery is one of the safest and most commonly performed surgeries in all of medicine. Most of the time, the development of cataracts is related to age. So if you are lucky enough to have cataracts, congratulations! You’ve made it to life’s silver and golden years 🙂
As cataract surgeons & specialists in West Covina for over 30 years, cataract surgery is one of our favorite procedures because of its incredible human impact. When performed with high precision and careful intention, cataract surgery has the potential to immediately and drastically improve a person’s daily life. Some of the benefits of cataract surgery are: reduced glare, reduced haze, sharper details, more vivid colors, improved night vision, reduced dependence on glasses and contact lenses, and improved contrast sensitivity.
With our experience in the latest techniques of micro-incisional and suture-less cataract surgery, we’ve helped folks see better than they ever have and get back on their feet (or on back on the road/golf course/kitchen/happy place) in no time.
We also love cataract surgery because it represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity help our patients reduce their dependence on glasses, should they desire it. Over the past few decades, cataract surgery has become so precise that it has become not only a vision-restoration procedure, but also a vision-enhancing procedure.
With the help of refractive enhancement techniques, we are able to help folks see better than ever without relying heavily on visual aids like glasses and contact lenses. Monovision and blended lens implantation strategies, as well as implantation of Advanced Technology lenses like astigmatism-correcting (toric), multifocal, and extended-depth-of-focus intraocular lenses, have allowed us to help those who have been wearing glasses since childhood to practically rid themselves of their glasses for everyday activities.
We understand that being diagnosed with cataracts can be an intimidating realization for some. We’ve walked countless patients through their cataract experience. With comprehensive preparation and a personalized surgical plan, we’re confident we can guide you through this time in your life.
So if you happen to have cataracts and are considering surgery, really, congratulations. You are now at the cusp of what most patients consider a life enhancing surgery.
