What is cataract surgery?
Cataract surgery involves removing your eye’s natural lens when it becomes cloudy due to aging or other health factors. By replacing this cloudy lens with a high-quality artificial lens (IOL), light can focus properly on the retina, giving you clear vision again.

Key Parts of Cataract Surgery
Phacoemulsification
This is the most common method. The doctor uses gentle ultrasound waves to safely break up and remove the cloudy cataract. In some cases, a special laser is used to make the surgery even more precise.
Intraocular Lens (IOL) Options
We will help you choose a lens based on your lifestyle. Options include standard lenses for distance vision, multifocal lenses for seeing both near and far, and toric lenses for patients with astigmatism.
