Dr. Ravi Patel is a Board Certified Ophthalmologist and practices at Atlantic Eye Physicians in Monmouth County, NJ. His practice sub-specializes in corneal disease and refractive surgery. He is currently on the faculty at Wills Eye Hospital where he teaches residents and fellows about the latest options in corneal refractive surgery. His innovative approach with modern technology allows patients a fully customized treatment where there is no one size fits all. As frightening as cataracts might sound, modern cataract surgery usually can restore vision lost to cataracts.
Expert cataract and refractive surgeon, Dr. Ravi Patel, describes the numerous ways nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism can be corrected during cataract surgery.
Implants, incisions, and lasers are all options. Some patients also prefer monovision (different prescriptions for the two eyes) so they don't need glasses at all.
