in Newport Beach, CA

Learn about your options for cataract surgery.

Premium cataract surgery
at California Eye Associates.

When you choose to have your cataract surgery with Dr. Kurteeva in Newport Beach, you can access a wide range of options to help you achieve your desired outcome. Removing the cataract-affected lens is just one aspect of the comprehensive surgery process.

During your cataract consultation, Dr. Kurteeva and our dedicated staff will meet with you to discuss your vision goals thoroughly. We take the time to understand your hobbies and lifestyle, enabling us to determine how cataract surgery can enhance your overall quality of life. This information, combined with details about any pre-existing vision conditions you may have, such as presbyopia (the need for reading glasses), astigmatism, retinal problems, or glaucoma, will guide our approach.

We understand that you may have concerns or anxieties about the procedure, and we are here to address them with compassion and empathy. Our modern, result-oriented approach is focused on delivering positive outcomes and improving your vision.

What to expect during your cataract surgery

  • Dr. Kurteeva will see you and make sure you are comfortable before surgery.
  • If you have chosen to have the laser used as part of the surgery, you will be moved to the laser room before being taken into the operating room.
  • If you choose not to involve the laser, you will be moved to the operating room.
  • Once you arrive in the operating room, Dr. Kurteeva will ensure you are comfortable, and twilight anesthesia will be administered.
  • The area around your eye will be cleaned, and a sterile drape will be applied.
  • The cataract lens is removed, and the replacement Intraocular Lens (IOL) is folded, inserted, and unfolded in the eye.
  • A protective shield will be placed over your eye before you leave the operating room.

Most patients experience minimal or no discomfort during the procedure and can resume normal activities the following day. If you have cataracts in both eyes, the second cataract surgery will be scheduled once the first eye has fully healed, typically around two weeks after the initial surgery. Rest assured, our team is dedicated to providing innovative treatments and exceptional patient care, ensuring your comfort and successful outcomes.

Contact Dr. Kurteeva for your cataract surgery and experience the confidence that comes from being in the hands of a trusted professional who puts your care and well-being first.

Advanced technology options available

Custom cataract surgery with ORA technology​​

Dr. Kurteeva seamlessly integrates ORA technology into traditional and laser-based cataract surgery procedures. Following cataract removal, Dr. Kurteeva utilizes real-time refractive analysis of your eye to tailor the lens implant power choice precisely. 

As a result, patients experience a significant reduction in dependence on glasses. The advanced technology and personalized approach ensure exceptional outcomes, including:

  • Measure the true refractive power of your eye.
  • Select the appropriate power for your lens implant.
  • Reduce the need for re-treatments.​

Laser-assisted cataract surgery

  • A unique surgical plan is developed for customized treatment for your eye characteristics.
  • During surgery, Dr. Kurteeva guides the femtosecond laser using real-time 3D visualization to make a precise opening in the cloudy lens.
  • The CATALYS laser pulses gently soften the cataract and break it into small pieces for removal in the operating room.
  • A femtosecond laser can be used to make incisions in the cornea, open the lens capsule, and break the cataract into pieces. The pieces then must be removed by hand with the same phacoemulsification instrument used in regular cataract surgery.
  • Publications of many large series have shown that the post-operative results of cataract surgery are the same whether the surgery is all done by hand or partly by laser.

To discover more about laser-assisted cataract surgery and the ORA options in Newport Beach, we encourage you to contact us today. Our team will be delighted to assist you in scheduling a cataract consultation.

During this consultation, Dr. Kurteeva will assess your unique eyes and determine the most suitable cataract surgery method. Rest assured that our commitment to patient care and innovative treatments ensures you receive the best possible care with cutting-edge technology, resulting in positive outcomes.
