Cataract surgery today is no longer just about removing a cloudy lens—it’s about improving overall eye health and long-term visual outcomes. For patients who have both cataracts and glaucoma (or elevated eye pressure), modern ophthalmology now offers a powerful combined solution: cataract surgery with OMNI® minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS).
At Benjamin Eye Institute, this advanced approach is performed by Arthur Benjamin, bringing together more than 30 years of surgical experience with the latest technology in eye care.
A cataract occurs when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision, glare, difficulty with night driving, and faded colors. Cataract surgery gently removes this cloudy lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens, restoring sharp, vibrant vision.
In many cases, a toric intraocular lens (IOL) is used to correct astigmatism at the same time—reducing dependence on glasses after surgery.
OMNI MIGS is a minimally invasive glaucoma procedure designed to improve the eye’s natural fluid drainage system and help lower intraocular pressure.
Using the OMNI Surgical System, the surgeon treats the eye’s natural outflow pathway, including Schlemm’s canal, to enhance aqueous humor drainage. The procedure is gentle, precise, and performed from within the eye—without creating external incisions.
For appropriate candidates, combining these procedures in a single surgery offers several advantages:
This integrated approach allows patients to address two vision-threatening conditions at once—safely and efficiently.
Advanced technology is only part of the equation. Surgical judgment, precision, and experience play a critical role in achieving excellent outcomes. With decades of experience in cataract and glaucoma surgery, Dr. Arthur Benjamin carefully evaluates each patient to determine whether a combined cataract + OMNI MIGS procedure is the right option.
Cataract surgery with OMNI MIGS may be an excellent option if you:
A comprehensive eye evaluation is essential to determine candidacy.
If you’ve been diagnosed with cataracts, glaucoma, or both, modern surgical options may offer clearer vision and better eye health than ever before.
