Cataract Treatment in Colorado Springs

The treatment of cataracts is Dr. Haas' speciality. He can examine the eyes for vision deficits and prescribe corrective lenses. However, ophthalmologists can sometimes detect eye disorders, like cataracts, during their exams. An ophthalmologist in Colorado Springs is permitted by state law to dispense medications for the treatment and diagnosis of eye diseases. As an ophthalmologist, Dr. Haas may work with a local optometry specialist in Colorado Springs to confirm diagnoses and offer follow-up surgical care that an optometrist cannot provide. If you need cataract treatment in the Colorado Springs area, it is available as an outpatient procedure. Modern techniques allow Dr. Haas to remove cataracts at any stage of development. A tiny incision removes the cataract, then a synthetic lens can be inserted into your eye's surface to replace the damaged one.

Eye Care for Glaucoma

Glaucoma occurs when fluids do not properly drain from the eye, and pressure inside the eye builds up to levels that can damage the optic nerves, causing vision loss. Treatment for glaucoma aims to prevent or delay vision loss by lowering the pressure inside your eye and can involve surgery or medication. Dr. Haas will also recommend preventative measures if he feels that you are at risk of glaucoma. Your condition will be closely monitored; Dr. Haas cares about protecting your vision.
