Cataract Surgery Options
Cataract surgery provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reset your vision and choose how you would like to see your world! At See Vision Eye Institute, we will learn about your lifestyle and how you use your vision every day. Dr. Gorscak use this information, along with advanced diagnostic testing, to assess your candidacy for the Vision Package that is best suited to meet your goals.
If you have a qualifying cataract, See Vision Eye Institute will file your Medicare and / or commercial insurance for your covered benefits to remove the cataract and replace it with an intraocular lens. You are responsible for co-payments, deductibles, and/or co-insurance associated with your covered benefits.
Cataract Packages
Medicare and commercial insurance do not pay for services that increase independence from glasses. These are considered refractive procedures and are not submitted to insurance. See Vision Eye Institute provides three packages to help you achieve your desired level of independence from glasses, and financing options to make your selection affordable.

With our Total Vision package, Dr. Gorscak will design a unique surgical plan to maximize vision at all ranges: distance (road signs, TV), intermediate (computer, car dashboard), reading (phone, book or watch). In order to achieve this, Dr. Gorscak will provide a comprehensive surgical plan that may include some or all of the following:
