Dr. Sheri Rowen - Baltimore Cataract Surgery Specialist
Dr. Sheri Rowen is a Baltimore Cataract Surgery specialist who uses the latest surgical procedures and technologies to help her cataract patients regain their vision. She also was one of the first surgeons in Maryland to incorporate intraocular lenses (IOL s) into her practice, and she is considered a Baltimore ReSTOR, ReZOOM and Crystalens expert. On this web page, Dr. Rowen describes what a cataract is and explains how surgery at her Baltimore Cataract Surgery facility can restore youthful vision to her patients.
We offer treatment for several common eye disorders. If your vision interferes with the quality of your life, consider surgery at one of our vision correction centers.

A cataract is a progressive clouding of the lens of the eye. A c ataract impedes vision by dispersing light passing through the lens, causing blurring, halos and glare. These symptoms only worsen over time. Most cataracts develop as a result of the natural aging process, but they can also be present at birth, or caused later in life by trauma to the eye, diabetes, exposure to sunlight or serious inflammation of the eye. As a cataract progresses, it can significantly impede everyday activities like reading, and especially driving. If left untreated, a cataract can eventually cause total vision loss; in fact, it remains the leading cause of blindness in the United States. Cataract surgery, performed at our practice, offers a fast and easy solution for patients struggling with deteriorating vision.
A cataract is a gradual vision impairment that cannot be treated with medication. Some patients attempt to manage it with frequent changes in prescription contact lenses or glasses. However, as a cataract worsens and vision impairment begins to interfere with activities, such as driving and reading, patients should consider surgery at our location.
Minimally invasive surgery remains the only effective treatment. C ataract surgery is now one of the most frequently performed surgeries in the United States. The decision to undergo surgery is reached between doctor and patient only after a thorough consultation at one of our practices. Some patients are willing to live with faltering vision for months, and even years; however, most patients opt for surgery as soon as the dimming and blurring of their vision begins to affect their daily routine.
With the advanced technology and surgical techniques available today, cataract surgery is a very safe treatment. It is available at our practice immediately after diagnosis, assuming the patient is a healthy candidate. The surgery can be performed in the early or advanced stages of cataract development.
To find out if you are a candidate for surgery, contact our practice.
Correcting Both Distance and Near Vision
Dr. Sheri Rowen was the first physician to offer “instant vision” surgery. “Instant vision” surgery can eliminate a cataract without the injection of anesthesia , which means that no needles, stitches or patches are required. During “instant vision” surgery, the lens of the eye is removed and replaced in order to restore vision. The eye is numbed with a topical anesthetic, and a micro incision is made into the cornea. Then the clouded lens is broken up with sound waves, removed from the eye and replaced with a foldable artificial lens. Natural outside pressure causes the new lens to bind to the eye without the need for stitches.
At our Cosmetic Center, we offer the latest implantable lenses to restore multifunctional vision. These lenses can correct vision affected by cataract , and they can also reduce other vision problems, such as nearsightedness and farsightedness. These new implantable lenses serve a dual purpose and enable patients to be less dependent on glasses for both near and distance vision.
The surgery can be completed at our facilities in less than 15 minutes. The procedure is extremely safe, and has a remarkable success rate. Complications during and after surgery are very rare, but possible side effects will be discussed during your consultation. Following surgery at one of our centers, patients are usually able to return home within a few hours. Vision will be noticeably improved after just a few days, and normal activities can be resumed immediately.
