At TriaVision, we’re proud to have the largest team of fellowship-trained glaucoma surgeons in Alabama, and we’re leading the way for advanced surgical solutions for combined cataracts and glaucoma right here in Hoover.
Dr. Jason Swanner – one of Alabama’s most referred to cataract surgeons – possesses unmatched experience, having completed over 25,000 cataract surgeries. His commitment to precise, compassionate, personalized care has helped these thousands of patients regain clear vision and reclaim their independence. Although TriaVision may be a new name, Dr. Swanner and the TriaVision team have been seeing patients in Birmingham for 20-plus years as a part of UAB Callahan Eye.
“Cataract surgery is truly life-changing,” Dr. Swanner says. “Most procedures take less than 15 minutes, and patients often notice an improvement in their vision within days.” Cataracts, which develop naturally with age, cloud your vision and make everyday tasks like driving at night time more difficult.
For some patients, cataracts aren’t their only concern. Those who also suffer from glaucoma, another eye disease that progresses slowly throughout a patient’s life and can ultimately cause blindness, can now receive additional treatment during their cataract surgery that can help mitigate the effects of their glaucoma.
This is where Dr. Blythe Monheit steps in. One of TriaVision’s fellowship-trained glaucoma specialists, she offers Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) – a state-of-the-art solution that can be performed during cataract surgery to reduce eye pressure and protect long-term vision.
“MIGS has been revolutionary,” Dr. Monheit explains. “It allows us to treat two conditions at once – restoring clarity from cataracts and managing glaucoma pressure – with less recovery time and fewer complications than traditional glaucoma surgery.”
Working as a team, Dr. Swanner and Dr. Monheit offer a seamless experience for patients needing cataract surgery and glaucoma care. They ensure that each patient receives a treatment plan tailored to his or her specific needs.
Dr. Swanner earned a B.S. in biology at Samford University and a medical degree at The University of South Alabama, then completed an ophthalmology residency at UAB and a prestigious glaucoma fellowship at Harvard University.
A board-certified surgical ophthalmologist, Dr. Monheit earned her medical degree and completed glaucoma residency and fellowship training at UAB. She practiced in Austin, Texas, for 17 years, and later worked at UAB Callahan Eye.
