Cataract Surgery

A cataract is when the lens of your eye becomes cloudy causing blurry or dim vision. Cataracts are one of the most common causes of vision loss (especially as we age), but are surgically treatable. Surgery is the only treatment option for cataracts—they are not preventable or treatable with medications.

Cataracts tend to develop slowly starting in your 40’s and 50’s. You may not notice any changes in your vision at first. As cataracts worsen, you may find they interfere with your day to day activities.

If you are experiencing symptoms of vision loss or changes, make an appointment with an ophthalmologist.

Advanced Technology Lenses

Advanced technology lenses provide an improved range of vision for patients who need cataract surgery, hopefully reducing the need for glasses after surgery. These lenses (called intraocular lens implants or IOLs) provide a broader range of focus after cataract surgery. After the cataract is removed, the IOL implant is permanently placed in the eye.

Toric Lens Implant

If you have a significant level of astigmatism and cataracts, you may be a candidate for a toric lens implant. The toric lens implant is designed to reduce or eliminate your astigmatism, as a part of cataract surgery. Learn more.

Multifocal Lens Implant

Multifocal lenses are premium options that can reduce your dependence on glasses at a range of distances, such as when you are using the computer, reading, dining, cooking, and driving. Learn more.
