Cataract

Has your vision become cloudy or dull? Do you suffer from glare? If so, you may have cataracts. Think about surgery when your cataracts have progressed enough to impair your vision and affect your daily life.

Many people consider poor vision an inevitable fact of aging. But cataract surgery is a simple, painless procedure to regain vision. Cataract surgery is a delicate but safe outpatient procedure that replaces a clouded lens with a clear intraocular lens implant (IOL).

Cataract surgery can successfully restore vision. In fact, it is the most frequently performed surgery in the United States, with over 1.5 million cataract surgeries done each year. The vast majority of people who have cataract surgery regain excellent vision, somewhere between 20/20 and 20/40. Often the need for glasses is decreased or eliminated. Most patients who have had the no-stitch, no-shot, no-patch cataract surgery can resume normal activities almost immediately. The newest IOLs, or refractive implants, let patients see at all distances, not just one.
