What is Cataract Surgery?

Cataract surgery is a common and highly successful procedure to remove clouded natural lenses from the eyes and replace them with artificial intraocular lenses (IOLs). This outpatient procedure can significantly improve vision and quality of life for those affected by cataracts.

Highly Successful: Cataract surgery has a 98% success rate and is one of the most commonly performed surgeries worldwide, with over 4 million procedures annually in the US.

When is Cataract Surgery Needed?

Cataract surgery is recommended when:

  • Vision impairment: Cataracts significantly affect daily activities
  • Glare sensitivity: Increased sensitivity to light and glare
  • Night vision problems: Difficulty seeing in low light conditions
  • Color perception changes: Colors appear faded or yellowed
  • Frequent prescription changes: Rapidly changing vision needs
  • Quality of life impact: Cataracts interfere with work or hobbies
