Cataract Surgery
What Are Cataracts?
Cataracts are a clouding of the natural lens in your eye. As we age, our eyes mature and vision changes naturally occur. In fact, cataracts affect more than 50% of people over the age of 60.
With no medical treatment available to prevent or reverse the development of cataracts, those who suffer from this disease can look to our simple, stress-free surgery to restore their vision. Without this procedure, the natural lens continues to cloud, making daily activities a thing of the past.

Laser Cataract Surgery
Our premium laser cataract surgery technology, paired with our expert, cutting-edge techniques, provides our patients with the very best experience and outcome.
Cataract surgery recovery time is quick and patients can return home soon after surgery, however, they are encouraged to rest for the remainder of the day. Every patient has a different healing rate, but many experience improved vision almost immediately after the procedure. Patients can return to their normal activities very soon following surgery.
Intraocular Lens (IOLS)
During your cataract procedure, the natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens called an Intraocular Lens (IOL).
With so many IOLs to pick from, our expert physicians and team can walk you through all of your options. We go over your goals and custom-match the IOL that best fits your lifestyle.
