Vision Correction Surgery: Innovative, Minimally Invasive Options

At The Eye Clinic of Florida, we are proud to offer advanced vision correction options tailored to meet your specific needs. At different ages, some options are just better than others. For certain occupations and lifestyles other options do better. With a personalized approach and dedication to achieving excellent outcomes, we prioritize clear, improved vision and patient satisfaction in every treatment.


LASIK

LASIK is a popular and highly effective vision correction procedure offered at The Eye Clinic of Florida. Dr. Ahad Mahootchi has over 28 years of experience performing LASIK, helping thousands of patients achieve improved vision and reduced dependency on glasses or contact lenses.

LASIK reshapes the cornea using advanced lasers, gently and precisely correcting vision issues. This results in sharp, clear vision for most patients.

Benefits of LASIK include:

  • Rapid recovery and immediate improvement in vision.
  • A comfortable post-operative experience with minimal discomfort.
  • Predictable, long-lasting outcomes.
  • Patient suitability is evaluated through a free screening, ensuring LASIK or PRK is the right choice based on your unique needs.
  • Our methods almost eliminate the chance of post Lasik dry eye and nigh-time glare.
  • By utilizing cutting-edge technology, our team focuses on delivering excellent outcomes while ensuring patient comfort and satisfaction.

Astigmatism and/or Presbyopia Correction During Cataract Surgery: Advanced or Premium Technology Intraocular Lens Implants

The best way to correct astigmatism with cataract surgery is with an astigmatism correcting lens implant. You are going to get a lens implant anyway, so using a lens implant with astigmatism correction makes sense. Astigmatism correction during cataract surgery provides an all-in-one solution to improve vision and address cataract-related issues. Dr. Mahootchi brings over 25 years of expertise in astigmatism-correcting or Toric lens implants, helping patients achieve clearer vision with less need for glasses. With modern lens implants there is no need to pay extra for laser cataract surgery. Why pay more for the 3rd best way to correct astigmatism (laser cataract surgery)? More than 99% of our patients using Toric lens implant patients see with no need for distance glasses. 


Presbyopia Correction 

Presbyopia is the need for reading glasses or bifocals. Presbyopia correction is the most exciting improvements in cataract surgery in the last 2 decades. There are many lens implant options for different needs and lifestyles. They often come with free astigmatism correction included. Often those without cataract choose this surgery because, unlike Lasik, you can gain distance and near vision glasses independence for patients over 40. Other Tampa Bay area eye surgeons have raised their prices by more than $1,000 to $2,000 recently for the same outcome. We have not raised our prices.


Why choose us?

  • Expertise with over 7,000 patients since 1999 treated successfully using Toric lens implants.
  • Expertise with over 5,000 patients since 2004 using Presybopia Correcting Implants.
  • No unnecessary charges for laser-assisted cataract surgery, which is often less effective.
  • Advanced testing and technology to offer the most precise results.

Benefits of toric IOLs (intraocular lenses) include:

  • Correct both astigmatism and cataracts in a single procedure.
  • Achieve better distance vision without glasses for most patients.
  • Cost-effective compared to future corrective surgeries, like LASIK or PRK.

With our personalized approach and commitment to avoiding unnecessary procedures, we ensure exceptional results at affordable costs. Thousands of Tampa Bay patients trust The Eye Clinic of Florida to enhance their vision—schedule your consultation to explore your options today!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of correcting astigmatism during cataract surgery?

Correcting astigmatism at the time of cataract surgery offers long-term benefits, including great distance vision without glasses long term 

How does astigmatism correction during cataract surgery work?

Astigmatism is corrected during cataract surgery by using advanced Toric intraocular lenses (IOLs). These lenses address both cataracts and astigmatism in a single procedure, providing clearer vision with fewer glasses.

What is recovery like after LASIK?

Most LASIK patients notice improved vision immediately and can resume normal activities the day after surgery. Mild discomfort may occur but usually resolves within a few hours. Full visual stability is typically achieved within 1-2 weeks.

Am I a good candidate for LASIK or lens-based surgery?

Most patients with stable vision, healthy eyes, and a suitable prescription are good candidates for LASIK or lens-based vision correction. Factors such as age, lifestyle, and eye health influence the best option for you. Our team offers free screenings to determine the best procedure based on your unique needs.

What’s the difference between LASIK and lens replacement surgery?

LASIK reshapes the cornea to correct vision, making it ideal for younger patients with nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Lens replacement surgery, also called Clear Lens Exchange, replaces the eye’s natural lens with an advanced intraocular lens (IOL), providing both distance and near vision correction. It is often recommended for patients over 40 seeking long-term freedom from glasses.
