We are proud to be the first ophthalmology practice in Dallas/Fort Worth to offer ORange®, the world’s first technology providing real time measurements of vision quality during cataract surgery. Before, surgeons had to often wait weeks or even months after the procedure to determine surgery accuracy. ORange delivers more accurate results at the moment it matters most – during the procedure – and can be customized to a patient’s eyes. It can also help improve astigmatism correction and premium lens implant accuracy, which may further reduce dependency on glasses after cataract surgery.
