New Cataract Surgery Options
What are Cataracts?
Cataracts are cloudy areas in the lenses of the eye. They usually develop in middle age and tend to grow larger and opaquer over time. If a patient has cataracts and do not receive treatment, it will endanger the health of eyes and can lead to blindness.
Here are some signs and symptoms of cataracts:
Having blurry, clouded, or dim vision
Seeing double or a ghosted image out of the eye with cataract
Being extra sensitive to light and glare
Having trouble seeing well at night, or needing more light when you read
Seeing bright colors as faded or yellow instead
Seeing halos around lights
What to Expect with Cataract Surgery
Before Surgery
Our surgeon will measure your eye to determine the proper focusing power for your IOL. Also, you will be asked about any medicines you take. You might be asked not to take some of these medicines before surgery.
During Surgery
During cataract removal, our eye surgeon uses local anesthesia to ensure that you are comfortable during the procedure. Next, the doctor precisely fragments the lens utilizing a femtosecond laser. Your surgeon then removes the emulsified lens material through a microscopic incision and replaces it with an intraocular lens (IOL).
After Surgery
Following your cataract surgery, you will need to arrange another person to take you home after your surgery. Recovery is usually quick after cataract surgery. You can expect to experience some soreness and discomfort, which should subside within a few days in many cases. It is essential to follow all post-operative care instructions and apply all eye drops as instructed.
