Thanks to recent advancements in technology and surgical techniques, cataract surgery has become one of the safest and most effective surgical procedures performed today. Each year more than 1 million people in the United States have their cataracts successfully removed. Gary Tylock, MD, has been active in teaching cataract surgery to physicians specializing in ophthalmology for the last 20 years. Performing this treatment on residents throughout the Dallas / Fort Worth, Texas area, cataract surgery at our Irving practice has helped us eliminate or reduce our patients' dependency on reading glasses and bifocals.

Dr. Tylock performs cataract surgery in a modern outpatient surgical facility with a team of skilled professionals and the very latest technology.
The eye remains numb and the patient is comfortable throughout the entire procedure. A small probe that uses ultrasound waves, known as a phacoemulsifier, gently removes the cataract. A tiny self-sealing incision allows for quick healing and rarely requires sutures. Once our Dallas / Fort Worth, Texas area patients are prepared for the procedure at our surgical center in Irving, the actual cataract surgery takes less than 20 minutes. Once surgery is complete, additional drops are placed in your eye to prevent infection and decrease inflammation. The vast majority of our patients return to normal daily activities less than 24 hours after their procedure. The patient is seen at the office the next day to check healing and will be given postoperative instructions.
