Cataract surgery near Addison begins with a surgeon you can name.
Addison residents take the Tollway north to find a cataract surgeon who personally handles every step — evaluation, lens planning, surgery, and follow-up. About 20 minutes to one surgeon, one building, one accountability chain.
Addison has quick access to medical care. Cataract surgery demands more than quick access.
Addison puts a medical office within walking distance of almost every address in town. For a routine exam, that is convenient. Cataract surgery is permanent — the lens placed inside your eye sets your vision for good — so the filter shifts from convenience to accountability.
Three questions decide it: who plans the lens, who performs the surgery, and who sees you afterward. Dr. Shehz answers all three with the same name. He is double board-certified, trained at Dean McGee Eye Institute, and has performed nearly 7,000 procedures.
Standard cataract surgery is covered by Medicare and most insurance plans. Premium lens upgrades are typically out of pocket but eligible for FSA/HSA funds. We verify benefits and put every cost in writing before anything is scheduled.
Twenty minutes up the Tollway for the continuity you would demand in any other high-stakes decision.

02/What surgery looks like today
Cataract surgery has changed — quietly and completely.
The cloudy lens is removed through a micro-incision using gentle ultrasound, usually with no stitches, and replaced with an artificial lens that never clouds again. Each eye takes about 25 to 30 minutes, and most patients see clearly within 24 hours.
Precision
Measured, not estimated.
Detailed biometry and corneal mapping build a blueprint of your eye before surgery. During surgery, image guidance helps place your new lens exactly where the plan says it belongs.
Comfort
Calm by design.
Cataract surgery is typically performed with numbing drops rather than general anesthesia — you're awake but relaxed. The visit is short, and it all happens in the practice's own surgery suite.
Choice
A lens chosen around your life.
The replacement lens is a decision, not a default. Monofocal, toric, extended-depth, multifocal, and light adjustable options each balance distance, near, and night vision differently.
Covered more than you'd guess. Explained better than you're used to.
A cataract is a medical condition, not a cosmetic complaint — so standard cataract surgery is covered by Medicare and most insurance plans when it's medically necessary, including a quality monofocal lens. What typically falls to you are the upgrades: premium lenses that correct astigmatism or reduce your dependence on glasses.
We verify your benefits before anything is scheduled, then hand you a single written quote for whatever you choose — nothing gets added on surgery day. If there's a portion insurance doesn't cover, 0% APR financing is available for qualified applicants.

This is my firsthand experience as a patient of Dr. Shehz with a complex eye condition.
I was born with amblyopia (commonly referred to as a lazy eye) in my left eye and have relied almost entirely on my right eye my entire life. When my right eye began to weaken and cataracts developed, there was no margin for error. Read full review
