What are cataracts?
Cataracts are a common condition that occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to a gradual decline in vision. This clouding is typically caused by aging but can also result from factors such as diabetes, prolonged use of certain medications, eye injuries, or genetic predisposition. Cataracts can develop in one or both eyes and may vary in severity.
Cataract Symptoms
You may notice more difficulty with your vision, including:
Blurred or cloudy vision
Increased difficulty seeing at night
Sensitivity to light and glare
Fading or yellowing of colors
Double vision in one eye
Frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescriptions.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to consult an eye care professional for an evaluation. Early detection can help manage symptoms and determine the best time for intervention.
In-Depth Evaluation
Every cataract surgery journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation. Our experienced ophthalmologists will carefully examine your eyes, discuss your vision goals, and determine the best lens options and surgical plan for your needs. Then you will meet our surgical planning team who will assist you with scheduling and insurance questions.
Premium Lens Implants Tailored to Your Lifestyle
Choosing the right lens implant is a critical part of your cataract surgery journey. At Infocus Eye Care, we offer a wide range of intraocular lenses (IOLs) to match your unique vision needs and lifestyle goals:
Monofocal Lenses: Ideal for patients seeking excellent vision at a single distance, monofocal lenses provide reliable clarity for tasks such as reading or driving. Your surgeon will help you determine which focal distance is best for you and if this option may offer you some freedom from glasses.
Toric Lenses: Designed for patients with astigmatism, toric lenses correct this common refractive error while addressing cataracts, offering crisp and clear vision and increasing freedom from glasses. These implants are available in monofocal, extended depth of focus, multifocal, and adjustable forms.
Extended Depth of Focus Lenses: These innovative lenses provide a seamless range of vision from distance to intermediate distances, reducing dependency on glasses for many activities.
Multifocal Lenses: Multifocal lenses allow for clear vision at multiple distances, making them a popular choice for those seeking independence from glasses for both near and far tasks.
Light Adjustable Lenses: The latest advancement in lens technology, light adjustable lenses allow for post-surgical customization to fine-tune your vision, ensuring the most precise results.
Post-Operative Care
Following your cataract surgery, you can expect a smooth recovery process with significant improvements in vision typically becoming evident within a few days. As part of your post-operative care, you will be prescribed eye drops to use for several weeks to promote healing and prevent infection. Our team will provide detailed instructions and closely monitor your progress to ensure the best possible outcomes.
