When you come to us as a patient at Barth Vision, we will begin your treatment with a comprehensive eye exam that will employ the most advanced, state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment available in the vision care world today. We will assess everything to do with your vision, from near and far nearsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia, to careful screening for potential optic nerve disease, retinal disease and systemic illness that may manifest in the eyes. We will also measure the internal pressure of your eyes as a check for glaucoma.

If your exam suggests a need for vision correction, our doctors will explore with you the options that might best suit your needs, then prescribe glasses, contact lenses, or one of the many vision correction surgeries available today.

Cataract Surgery

Cataracts are among the most common eye problems, with the result that cataract surgery is the most common surgical procedure in the country. Closely associated with aging, cataracts affect the vision of almost 26 million Americans age 40 and older. Given demographic trends, that number is expected to grow 50 percent by 2032.  A cataract is the clouding of the lens inside the eye. Because the cloudy lens allows less light to reach the retina, distance and reading vision often become fuzzy and indistinct through the affected eye.

Over the course of his career, Dr. Gary Barth has become one of the leading cataract surgeons in Northern California. Supported by the most advanced available equipment, he will remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial “intraocular lens” (IOL).
