Your Journey to Clear Vision
Welcome to our Cataract Surgery Center, where we’re dedicated to helping you achieve your vision goals through advanced cataract surgery techniques and personalized lens implant choices. Our skilled surgeons understand the significance of clear and vibrant vision in maintaining your independence and enhancing your quality of life. Here is a video summarizing cataract surgery and intraocular lens options.
What is a cataract?
Before deciding on cataract surgery, it’s essential to understand what cataracts are and have an eye exam. Cataracts are the clouding of the eye’s lens due to protein clumping, leading to vision problems. Cataract symptoms include:
- Not seeing well, even with updated glasses or contacts.
- Cloudy or double images with your other eye closed.
- A distracting glare, such as from oncoming headlights when you drive.

Cataract Surgery:
Timeline To Clear Vision
Cataract Evaluation
During your complete eye exam, your doctor will assess the health of your eye, eye surface, and eyelids. The doctor will:
– Determine if surgery would help you.
– Tell if you if have any other eye conditions need treatment.
– Teach you how to improve the health of your ocular surface (e.g., dry eye) before special diagnostic testing.
The doctor will also discuss your lifestyle and reducing your need for glasses after surgery. This discussion will help the doctor recommend the best intraocular lens for you. There is more information below.

Special Diagnostic Testing
We‘ll schedule a special visit before surgery to measure the size, shape, and light focusing properties of your eye using sophisticated technology. This information is important. If you have trouble with the testing or the results are not satisfactory, you‘ll be asked to repeat the tests. The doctor will use this information along with your eye examination to tell you what types of lens lens implants you could have and the power of lens needed.

Selecting Your Lens Options - Tailored For Your Unique Needs
We offer a range of innovative lens options designed to cater to your specific visual requirements. We will ask you about your lifestyle, hobbies, and desire to reduce your need for glasses after surgery. This information will help us choose a lens implant for your eye.

A particularly exciting implant is adjustable after surgery. This allow you and your doctor to customize your focus to your unique visual needs.
Our experienced surgeons will engage in thoughtful discussions to assist you in making informed decisions. The lens implant option are summarized in the sections below.

Surgery Day
Before your surgery, the surgery center will call you to review instructions on your current medication, what to wear, and other details.
You won’t be driving yourself home, if you want IV or oral sedation like most patients, so you’ll need to arrange transportation.
At surgery check-in, you’ll sign consents and ensure all payments have been made. The staff will prepare you and your eye for surgery. The staff and surgeon will work together to ensure you are safe and comfortable during your stay.
After a brief recovery period, the staff will confirm your post-op visit appointment and after-surgery care and you can go home.

Post-Op and Recovery
On the day of your surgery, you will receive instructions to help heal and protect your eyes during recovery, as well as prescriptions for eye drops. You will be instructed to avoid rubbing your eyes or getting water in them for one week. Some patients can see an improvement in their vision immediately after surgery, while others note that it takes a week or two for their eyes to heal or adapt to the lens implant.
