Our Expertise & Your Visual Freedom
We specialize in advanced Cataract Surgery and Custom Vision Correction to safely treat presbyopia and correct your vision. Our surgical team replaces your aging natural lens with an advanced artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to permanently correct your vision.
By correcting refractive errors, our procedures can significantly reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses, improving convenience and comfort.
Experience in your surgeon matters.
The most important decisions you will make about your Cataract or Custom Vision Correction surgery are the doctor you choose and the lens option you select.
At Better Eyes, patient care is guided by renowned expert, Dr. Helga Pizio, MD. Dr. Pizio is the leading MD of Better Eyes here in Las Vegas and uses advanced technology called a phacoemulsification machine. She has performed over 75,000 cataract surgeries for Nevada residents and has hundreds of optometrists who refer to her. What makes Dr. Pizio different is her intense focus on understanding and staying abreast of all emerging lens technology. She actively trains other doctors on lens options and has a wide selection of choices to customize care for every eye.

Cataract Surgery
A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens in the eye, which causes an effect similar to a dirty windshield causing glare, hazy or diminished vision, and a fading of colors. Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed surgeries in the United States and involves the removal of your natural lens and replacement with a manufactured lens. Our Las Vegas surgical team typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes per eye to perform the operation. The procedure is typically performed using local anesthesia, which numbs the eye and surrounding area to ensure patient comfort.
Custom Vision Correction
If you are over 45 and frustrated with nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, one option is Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), which is an increasingly popular approach to combating presbyopia and other vision issues. RLE eye surgery is very similar to cataract surgery, extremely safe, and involves replacing the natural lens in your eye. It is particularly beneficial with presbyopia, enhancing patients’ near vision and far vision. Another major benefit of RLE surgery is that you will never need cataract surgery.

The lens you select is an important decision and should be based upon variables that only you can determine. Medical manufacturers have created several categories of premium lenses, and each category meets specific visual demands.
