A cataract is a cloudy area that occurs in the lens of the eye. Because cataracts are a normal part of aging, all men and women are at risk for them. In fact, about half of all Americans over age 65 have cataracts or have already had surgery to remove them.

A pioneer of modern cataract surgery, Dr. Calman brings expertise and innovative, sight-restoring technology to the process of cataract removal. DR. CALMAN WAS THE FIRST OPHTHALMOLOGIST IN THE BAY AREA TO ROUTINELY PERFORM “NO-STITCH, NO-PATCH, NO-INJECTION” CATARACT SURGERY.

With this simple outpatient procedure, your cataract is removed and a state-of-the-art lens is implanted to restore your vision. In many cases, special multifocal lens implants can help patients see clearly at all distances. There is minimal recovery time, and most patients can return to their normal activities immediately.

All cataract surgical procedures are performed at St. Luke’s Hospital where Dr. Calman is CHIEF OF OPHTHALMOLOGY. St. Luke’s Hospital is conveniently located just one block from the Premier Eyecare office.
