New Standard in Cataract Surgery

NEW STANDARD IN CATARACT SURGERY
                     
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – Carolina Vision Center announced today that it is the first and only vision correction center in North Carolina to employ ORange wavefront technology to maximize patient results for cataract patients. 
Michael G. Woodcock, MD is the only eye surgeon in North Carolina employing ORange technology. This revolutionary technology empowers Dr. Woodcock to take cataract surgery to a whole new level of accuracy and provide improved quality of vision for patients.

ORange is unique in its ability to measure optical irregularities in the eye during the cataract surgery procedure. Prior to this new technology, ophthalmic surgeons were unable to assess a patient’s quality of vision until weeks after cataract surgery was performed.

The end result of ORange is more precise surgical outcomes. This new technology is helping Dr. Woodcock achieve better results for patients. Most importantly, ORange provides improved quality of vision which means an improved quality of life for patients.

ORange measurement occurs when and where it matters most – during the surgical procedure – not afterwards. This has never been possible before.

ORange gives Dr. Woodcock an accurate measurement of the optical conditions in the eye during cataract surgery and allows instantaneous decisions that can best affect outcomes for the patient. Adjustments in astigmatism and focusing are made before completing eye surgery, thereby decreasing the number of patients needing glasses following surgery.

“I would not recommend cataract surgery without ORange,” says Dr. Woodcock.  “This technology allows me to give my patients vision comparable to the results I get with LASIK.  When combined with premium lenses, this means outcomes that rarely require glasses—for reading or otherwise!”

At Carolina Vision Center, we strive to provide our patients with the most accurate technology, the most skilled physicians and the most knowledgeable and caring staff. ORange fits perfectly into our mission and our commitment to excellence in eye care.
