What We Treat in Bangor
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is a safe and effective procedure that can restore clear vision to people with cataracts. During cataract surgery, the cloudy lens in the eye is removed and replaced with a clear, artificial lens. The surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis and takes about 15 minutes. Most people experience good results and their vision can improve significantly.
Benefits of cataract surgery:
- Improved vision: Making it easier to see clearly and perform everyday activities like driving, reading, and watching TV.
- Increased independence: Regain your confidence by seeing the world clearly again.
- Reduced risk of complications: Cataract surgery can reduce the risk of complications associated with cataracts.

Often referred to as the “sneak thief of sight,” glaucoma develops without warning. There are no symptoms in the early stages. The best way to protect your vision is having routine eye exams.
If you do develop glaucoma, treatment options are available. Although sight lost from glaucoma is permanent, treatment can slow progression and protect the vision that remains. We provide treatment options for severe to mild glaucoma.
