Department of Ophthalmology Cataract and Lens Implant
 At the WVU Eye Institute, cataract surgery is performed in our state-of-the-art same day surgery suite located within Ruby Memorial Hospital on an out-patient basis. A sutureless, or "no stitch", technique is employed to optimize rapid visual recovery. Following the 20-minutes procedure, an intraocular lens implant is placed in the eye so that the eye will focus properly. The patient can return to normal activity within a few days of the procedure. |
