Cataract Surgery
Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide, but with modern surgical techniques, vision can be effectively restored. Our board-certified ophthalmologists perform cataract surgery using the latest technology to ensure excellent outcomes.
What Are Cataracts?
A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens inside the eye. Symptoms include:
- Blurry or hazy vision
- Increased sensitivity to light and glare
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Colors appearing faded or yellowed
- Frequent changes in glasses prescription
The Surgical Procedure
Cataract surgery is one of the safest and most commonly performed surgeries in the world. During the procedure, our surgeon removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
The procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis. Most patients notice improved vision within days of surgery.
Types of Intraocular Lenses
We offer several IOL options to suit your lifestyle and vision goals:
- Monofocal IOLs — Correct vision at one distance (usually distance)
- Multifocal IOLs — Provide vision at multiple distances, reducing dependence on glasses
- Toric IOLs — Correct astigmatism in addition to the cataract
