If a cataract is blurring your vision or causing colors to appear faded or yellow, then cataract surgery may be the answer. In a painless ten-minute procedure, the cloudy lens is removed through a micro-incision (less than 1/8") with a tiny ultrasound probe. An artificial intraocular lens is inserted to replace the eye’s focusing ability. In most cases, the incision is self-sealing, so stitches are not necessary.
Surgery is done on one eye at a time using topical or local anesthesia. Recovery is fast—most patients resume daily activities within hours. In fact, a majority of patients see well enough to drive to the post-operative check with their surgeon the very next day.
