Eye Surgery
New strides in surgery give you more options
If you need surgery to correct a problem with your eyes, the experts at Lehigh Valley Health Network can help. We offer emergency surgery for retinal detachments and corneal transplant surgery. We also offer the latest in cataract surgery.
Progressive lens implants soon will be one of the hottest surgical trends going, Bausch says. Among the advantages: get the procedure and you’ll never get a cataract. “There is about a 30 percent chance you can develop a slight film behind the implant, but it’s easy to fix with laser treatment,” he says.
Lens implants cost up to $2,500 per eye and aren’t likely to be covered by insurance unless you have cataracts. Laser monovision isn’t usually covered either. But to achieve good vision without contacts or glasses, many people apparently are willing to pay the cost.
