Seamless Care During Every Stage
Pre-Operative Care of Eye Surgery
After any assessment, your Medical Optometry America primary eye care doctor may recommend surgery. We will explain your procedure to you and answer any questions you may have about the operation.
Next, we will refer you to an ophthalmologist to perform your surgery. In the meantime, we will help you prepare for the operation. This stage of our work includes treating pre-existing conditions that might interfere with your surgical results or recovery, such as dry eye. We also perform any assessments you might need before your procedure.
Post-Operative Care of Eye Surgery
After your surgery, you will need a number of follow-up appointments.

Cataract Surgery
During cataract surgery, the affected lens directly behind your pupil is removed and replaced with a clear plastic intraocular lens (IOL). You have the ability to choose which type of IOL is placed in your eye during this procedure, which only has to be performed once in your lifetime. There are many factors you should consider carefully before selecting your new IOL to ensure maximum comfort and visual acuity.
One of the most advanced options available is the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL). The LAL represents a groundbreaking advancement in ophthalmic technology, revolutionizing the field of cataract surgery. Unlike traditional intraocular lenses (IOLs), the LAL allows for non-invasive postoperative adjustments to be made, providing the unique ability to customize visual outcomes after surgery is complete. This innovative lens is more than twice as likely to help patients achieve 20/20 vision, offering a significant improvement in the ability to see without glasses.
If you require IOL replacement surgery, your Medical Optometry America doctor will work closely with you to select the perfect lens for your unique needs and lifestyle.
The MOA team is highly experienced in the art of LAL adjustments, ensuring your vision is tailored precisely to your preferences post-operatively.
The LAL utilizes a photo-responsive material that reacts to UV light, allowing precise modifications to the lens’s curvature and power. This process, managed by a specialized Light Delivery Device (LDD), ensures a tailored approach to optimizing your vision. Whether you want to reduce dependence on glasses or achieve LASIK-like results, the LAL offers a dynamic and adaptable solution for achieving unparalleled visual acuity.
