Overview

Cataract surgery is a safe and effective procedure to remove clouded natural lenses and replace them with artificial intraocular lenses (IOLs) to restore clear vision. At Eye Care Consultants, we offer customized lens implantation options to address your unique visual needs and lifestyle preferences.

Symptoms

Cataracts typically develop gradually and may cause symptoms such as blurred or cloudy vision, increased glare sensitivity, difficulty driving at night, and colors appearing faded or yellowed. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s essential to schedule a comprehensive eye exam to determine if cataract surgery is necessary.

Common Treatments

Traditional Cataract Surgery

During traditional cataract surgery, the clouded lens is removed through a small incision, and an IOL is implanted to replace it. This procedure is highly successful in restoring clear vision for most patients.

Custom Lens Implantation

Custom lens implantation allows for the selection of an IOL that matches your unique visual needs and lifestyle preferences. Options include multifocal IOLs for near, intermediate, and distance vision, toric IOLs for astigmatism correction, and extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOLs for enhanced visual clarity at various distances.
