When it comes to our very elderly patients, it is important to be extra gentle with the cataract treatment.  We will use less sedation and rarely use needles around the eyes.  We do not use stitches or even an eye patch in most cases.   Because the tissues of older patients can be fragile, we take extra time to be very gentle with our cataract surgery technique to ensure healing will be the best possible.  As patients live longer, it is necessary to address the needs of the aging in the safest and most precise method possible.
