Cataract
care
Dr. Craythorn can diagnose and effectively treat cataracts.
Intraocular lens implant surgery is a delicate but safe outpatient
procedure that replaces a clouded lens inside the eye with a permanent
lens. Dr. Craythorn’s method uses the latest in topical anesthesia
— no-stitch, no-patch cataract surgery. Best of all, cataract
surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure, with no hospitalization
required. Most patients who have had cataract surgery can return
almost immediately to their daily activities.
In some cases, your vision can become cloudy after
cataract surgery. Dr. Craythorn provides YAG capsulotomy surgery
using a revolutionary YAG laser to restore your clear vision.
Retina evaluation
Dr. Craythorn will check for early signs of macular
degeneration and diabetes, which can rob you of your vision. She
will monitor your condition to detect any early complications that
need treatment.
Glaucoma treatment
Sometimes, fluid buildup in the eye may cause excess
intraocular pressure, known as glaucoma. Dr. Craythorn can help
with treatment options ranging from pharmaceutical approaches to
laser surgery.
Diabetic retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy affects 25 percent of all Americans
diagnosed with diabetes. It causes edema and damages blood vessels
in the light-sensitive tissue of the retina, which can lead to vision
loss. Using the latest diagnostic equipment, Dr. Craythorn can diagnose
and make treatment recommendations for diabetic eye diseases.
