Bringing the future of cataract surgery to Western Visayas with Z Laser Lens Replacement!

Clearing the Fog: What are cataracts and what causes them?

Cataracts are one of the most common causes of vision loss, especially as we age. This condition occurs when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, affecting daily activities and making it difficult to see clearly. Symptoms of cataract include blurry vision, sensitivity to light or glare, faded colors, and double vision. Cataracts typically develop due to the eye’s natural aging process, especially for individuals aged 60 and above. This gradual progression often goes unnoticed for months or even years, eventually leading to impaired vision.

While aging is a primary cause, cataracts can also result from eye injuries, extreme heat, severe inflammation, or metabolic diseases such as diabetes. Borough Lasik Center offers advanced cataract treatment with Z Laser Lens Replacement, providing a safer, more precise, and bladeless solution for individuals with cataracts or severe refractive errors.

“Cataracts are a natural part of aging, but that does not mean it’s the end of your vision,” says Dr. Ches Heredia, CEO and Refractive Surgeon of Borough Lasik Center. “Many don’t realize they have cataracts until their daily life is affected. The good news is that with advanced technology in eye care, cataract treatment is safer and more effective”, he added.

Laser vs Conventional Surgery: Which is Right for You?

Cataracts and severe refractive errors can make everyday tasks like reading, driving, and recognizing faces challenging. While glasses and contact lenses offer temporary help, they don’t address the underlying issue.

Undergoing cataract surgery restores clear vision by replacing a cloudy or dysfunctional lens with a premium intraocular lens (IOL) tailored to each patient. Conventional cataract surgery involves using a manual blade to create an incision and open the lens capsule, an effective method but dependent on the surgeon’s hand. On the other hand, Z Laser Lens Replacement is a laser-assisted procedure that offers greater precision, less discomfort and faster recovery compared to conventional cataract surgery.

This procedure is ideal for individuals who:

▪️Struggle with cataracts that affect daily activities
▪️Experience double vision that glasses cannot fully correct
▪️Want to reduce or eliminate dependence on prescription eyewear

With advanced laser technology, this procedure ensures sharper and enhanced visual outcomes with a more comfortable recovery.
