Understanding Cataract Surgery

 

Cataracts are a common eye condition where the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurry vision and difficulty seeing clearly. Fortunately, cataract surgery is a safe and effective way to restore clear vision. If you or a loved one are considering cataract surgery, it’s important to understand the procedure and the options available.

 

What is Cataract Surgery?

​

Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens called an intraocular lens. The procedure is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia, allowing patients to recover quickly and return to their normal activities in a short time.

​

Premium Intraocular Lenses

​

Standard intraocular lenses are only able to provide clear vision at one specific distance, and full-time glasses use is usually required for the best vision. However, advancements in intraocular lens technology now offers more flexibility in vision correction.

​

Premium intraocular lenses can correct astigmatism and allow you to see clearly at both distance, intermediate, and near with minimal need for glasses. Not all patients are good candidates for a premium intraocular lens, so it is importance to talk with your ophthalmologist.
