Cataract Surgery

There are various reasons why the natural lens of the eye might become cloudy.  But for most people, time itself with the exposure to the ultraviolet light of the sun over the years creates a cloudiness to the nucleus of the natural lens inside the eyes. No matter what the reason for the development of that cloudiness, commonly referred to as a cataract, there can be limitations to your vision. Those limitations include blurry vision even with glasses or contacts, vision that seems “cloudy”, seeing halos around lights, and poor vision especially in dim or night time conditions.

At ExaminEyes, we can identify when you may need to proceed with cataract extraction surgery. Cataract extraction surgery dates back to the year 800 B.C.  However, modern cataract surgery truly began in the 1940’s. During cataract surgery, the clouded lens of your eye is removed and replaced with an artificial lens that is implanted.  The beauty of the cataract surgery is that not only will you get rid of the old cloudy lens that created blur for you, but you will receive an artificial implant that is carefully chosen by the surgeon to give you good vision afterwards.

The advancements of the artificial lens implants include lenses with correction for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and even multifocals to allow for clear distance and near vision. Let us direct you towards a surgery center we know and trust for the most state-of-the-art choices for your vision!
