"I am so please that I was recommended to this office as well to Dr. Allison Young. The office and the personal are professional and cheerful. I have Sjögren’s Syndrome which drys everything in your body. I honestly though I was going blind and I was seeing another ophthalmologist in a huge chain operation and it seems like I was going in every three months. I honestly couldn’t see. Dr Young saw me on the first visit and explained that I had a very large cataract in my right eye and it needed to be removed. I was extremely petrified but Dr. Young has the type of additive you want every Doctor to have. It was such an easy operation for me, Dr. Young said that it was so big it took her awhile to get it out. The difference was amazing I see amazing I was so amazed how little I was seeing before. So excited to get the other eye done. The after care was just as through as the pre-op. I recommend this Ophthalmology Center and Dr. Young."

How Do RxSight Light Adjustable Lenses Work?
Because the RxSight Light Adjustable Lens is made from advanced light-sensitive material, its shape and power can be modified using UV (ultraviolet) light. These lenses are implanted into the eye the same way other IOLs are, with a quick 15-minute surgery that makes a small incision in the side of the cornea.
First, your eyes will be numbed to prevent any discomfort during the procedure. A small incision is made in the side of the cornea to remove the cataract. After this, the RxSight lens is inserted into the opening to replace the old, damaged natural lens. In the following weeks, Dr. Young or Dr. Waters will customize your vision with about 3 – 5 light treatments over a 1 – 2 week period. Once you've achieved optimal vision, a final treatment locks in your results. This can deliver amazing outcomes that other traditional IOLs simply cannot match.
