Astigmatism Correction with Cataract Surgery
Baker Eye Institute in Conway, AR uses the lastest technology to help reduce the need for glasses following cataract surgery. Astigmatism is a very common refractive error in patients with cataracts. Normal lens implants provide correction for either up-close or distance vision, but do not correct for astigmatism. Improvements in technology have allowed surgeons like Dr. Baker to provide premium toric intraocular lens implants (IOLs) or corneal limbal relaxing incisions (LRIs) to help improve visual results for patients with astigmatism.

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month
Glaucoma is a silent illness; most people have no early symptoms and do not notice as their peripheral vision diminishes or blind spots occur. The disease affects more than 2.3 million Americans age 40 and older. Another 2 million do not know they have the disease. January is Glaucoma Awareness Month, and we want to remind people that knowing your risk for the disease can save your sight. If untreated, glaucoma ultimately results in blindness.
