Who Can Have Cataract Surgery?
Almost everyone with a visually significant cataract who is hampered in his or her daily activities can undergo small incision
phacoemulsification cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation by Dr. Shingleton. Age is not a limiting factor, and
general medical issues, such as diabetes, are rarely a problem because surgery is quick, safe and performed on an outpatient
basis. Dr. Shingleton sees many patients with glaucoma and the vast majority of these patients can also undergo cataract
surgery with lens implantation.
If you are interested in determining if you, or a family member or friend are a candidate for cataract surgery, use our Online
Cataract Surgery Evaluation or call 800-635-0489 or 617-314-2612 (Boston) or 508-534-6082 (Cape) to schedule an appointment with Dr. Shingleton's clinical team.
