Cataract surgery: restore your vision, rediscover your freedom
If everyday things look cloudy, faded, or dim, a cataract may be to blame. The good news is that modern cataract surgery is safe, gentle, and one of the most successful procedures in all of medicine. It's something we do every week.
What is a cataract?
A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens, which sits behind the colored part of your eye. Over time, most often with age, the lens becomes less clear, so light can't pass through as easily. Vision gradually turns hazy, colors look dull, and glare from headlights or sunlight can become bothersome.
It's estimated that more than 20 million Americans over age 40 have cataracts. They're a normal part of aging and highly treatable. When cataracts begin to interfere with the things you love, surgery can bring back clear, vivid sight.
Signs you may have a cataract
- Cloudy, blurry, or dim vision that glasses don't fully fix
- Increased glare or halos around lights, especially at night
- Colors that appear faded or yellowed
- Needing more light to read, or frequent prescription changes
What to expect, step by step
We measure your eyes precisely and talk through your vision goals and lens options, with no rush and all your questions welcome.
The cloudy lens is gently removed and replaced with a clear intraocular lens. It's outpatient, typically takes about 15 minutes per eye, and you're awake but comfortable.
Most people notice clearer vision within days. We'll see you for follow-up visits and stay close by throughout your healing.
