Panton Eye Center Doctors Provide Latest Eye Care

he Panton Eye Center has provided state-of-the-art eye care for over fifty years.

Board-certified ophthalmologists and optometrists offer comprehensive optical, medical, and surgical care including five treatment lasers.

John H. Panton, M.D., founder, comments on the advances made during his career: “Cataract was once a blinding disease.

Surgery required a lengthy hospitalization and patients wore thick spectacles post-operatively.

That is a thing of the past.

Today’s no-shot cataract surgery allows the restoration of normal vision for nearly everyone. What we now consider routine was unimaginable when I began!”

Peter J. Panton, M.D., senior surgeon, describes the surgical elimination of glasses or refractive surgery: “The refractive components of the eye are the

cornea (in the front of the eye) and the lens (inside the eye).

There are two major refractive procedures: (1) LASIK is the use of a laser to reshape the cornea; (2) Refractive Cataract Surgery is the combination of a bifocal implant with no-shot cataract surgery. For both our LASIK patients and our Refractive Cataract Surgery patients, life with-out glasses is the anticipated outcome.”

Robert W. Panton, M.D., fellowship-trained corneal surgeon, defines ALL LASER LASIK: “ALL LASER LASIK is the combination of two lasers to correct vision. The first makes a thin flap of cornea which is gently folded back. The second reshapes the cornea. The flap is repositioned without the need for stitches. Prior to surgery, the patient is able to see only the big-E; the morning after ALL LASER LASIK, the patient drives

himself for his follow-up exam.”

Elizabeth Panton Karkazis, O.D. explains how contact lenses complement refractive surgery in a comprehensive practice: “Teenagers are too young for LASIK and not every adult is a suitable candidate for LASIK. When surgery is not an option, contact lenses remain a valuable tool to satisfy a patient’s optical needs.”

Dr. Peter Panton Discusses Cataract Surgery & Bifocal Implants Dr. Panton, what is a cataract and how is it treated?

A cataract is the clouding of the lens inside the eye. Neither drops nor pills can prevent or cure a cataract. The only treatment for a cataract is its surgical removal and its replacement with a clear artificial lens or intraocular lens implant (IOL).

Dr. Peter J. Panton, a graduate of the Brown University School of Medicine, is certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and former president of the Chicago Ophthalmological Society.

What is the difference between a monofocal implant and a bifocal implant?

In the past, the IOL corrected distance vision only; this is called a monofocal implant. Patients who undergo cataract surgery with a monofocal implant still need reading glasses. Recent advances incorporate a bifocal into the IOL. The bifocal implant allows patients to read without glasses, drive without glasses, and do virtually all of their activities without glasses.

What will I experience during cataract surgery with a bifocal implant?

Cataract surgery is performed on an outpatient basis using eye drops to numb your eye; no shots are necessary. The operation takes approximately 20 minutes after which you will rest for a short time before going home. Post-operatively, you will be asked to instill eye drops for a few weeks after surgery. You will have 90% of you vision back within one day and your eye will be completely healed within two weeks.

How do I find out if bifocal implants are right for me?

While most cataract patients are candidates for this technology, it is best to seek consultation with an ophthalmologist with experience in bifocal implants. If you want to reduce your dependence on glasses after cataract surgery, call Dr. Panton at 708-452-7200 to schedule an appointment.
