A cataract is a cloudy lens inside our eye that blurs the vision. When the clouding gets to the point that it is interfering with things we want to do - like driving or reading - the cataract can be treated with an advanced procedure called "no stitch, no shot, no patch" surgery.

Dr. Flavius Pernoud pioneered this type of surgery in the St. Louis area in 1990. It is a technique which removes the cloudy lens and allows you to resume your normal activities right away. Our patients have played bingo or have gone bowling the same night they had their cataract removed by Dr. Pernoud. Driving is usually fine to do the next day.
