Take the interactive Cataract Self-Test to see if you’re a good candidate.
A cataract is not a disease but an aging process similar to graying hair. As the eye ages, the normal lens inside the eye becomes cloudy. The lens focuses light rays on the retina at the back of the eye to produce a sharp image of what we see. When the lens becomes cloudy, the light rays cannot pass easily through it, and the image becomes blurry. It can be compared to a window that is frosted or “fogged” with steam.
CATARACTS USUALLY DEVELOP AS PART OF THE AGING PROCESS. OTHER CAUSES INCLUDE:

Learn MoreCataract Specialist Jonathan M. Frantz, M.D., FACS utilizes an innovative technology called the ORA (Optiwave Refractive Analysis) System with VerifEye, which continuously monitors the measurements of a patient’s eye during their cataract surgery. This incredibly accurate, real-time display of the patient’s eye provides Dr. Frantz with an unprecedented level of valuable information about the eye that allows him to customize each patient’s procedure to give them the best visual outcome.
Learn MoreCataract patients in South Florida have reason to rejoice thanks to a new “dropless” cataract surgery method available at Frantz EyeCare. It is designed to eliminate one of the most frustrating aspects of cataract surgery: postoperative eye drops.
In standard cataract surgery, patients are required to diligently use antibiotic and steroid eye drops before and after their procedures to prevent infection and promote healing. The rigid drop schedules can be difficult to follow, and missing scheduled drops can increase risk of complications.
Dropless cataract surgery allows most patients to heal without the need for additional prescription eye drops. It also dramatically simplifies the postoperative regimen, eliminating the challenge of patient compliance.
The Dropless procedure is in lieu of multiple drops that cost the patients $100s of dollars.

If the AcrySof name sounds familiar, that’s because over 100 million AcrySof lenses have been implanted around the world and counting.
