WHAT IS A CATARACT?

Cloudy Cataract Eye
  • The naturally clear lens in our eye helps focus light, allowing us to see clearly. As we age, the lens becomes cloudy.
  • As we age, the lens becomes cloudy. Things look blurry, hazy, dull, or less colorful. 
  • Surgery is the only way to remove a cataract. Your doctor removes the eye’s cloudy, natural lens and replaces it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
  • Cataract surgery is performed by an eye doctor (ophthalmologist) on an outpatient basis, which means you will not stay after the surgery.

Intra Ocular Lenses

  • When a soft gel intraocular lens is used to replace a cataract or cloudy lens, the procedure is referred to as cataract surgery. 
  • During cataract eye surgery the surgeon will remove the cloudy or cataract lens of the eye and replace your lens with a new lens to improve your vision. 
  • This Surgery is only done once and you cannot feel the new lens implant.
