Take the Cataract Self-Test to find out if cataract surgery is right for you.
Cataracts occur when your eye's naturally clear lens becomes cloudy, blocking light from reaching the retina. The result? Blurry, hazy vision that can interfere with daily life.
While aging is the primary cause, with over half of people 65 and older developing cataracts in their lifetime, other factors may play a role, including certain medications, eye injuries, or UV exposure. Common cataract symptoms include:

Cataract surgery is a quick, virtually painless procedure that involves removing the clouded natural lens and replacing it with a clear intraocular lens (IOL). Your cataract surgeon will begin the procedure by numbing your eye with anesthetic drops.
Then, they will make a small incision to access the natural lens. Your cataract surgeon will use advanced ultrasound technology to break up the lens and remove it before replacing it with the IOL of your choice.
This process restores your vision and prevents cataracts from returning, ensuring you can enjoy clarity for years to come.
Intraocular Lenses (IOLs) are clear artificial lenses that replace the natural lens of the eye during cataract surgery. Standard (monofocal) IOLs provide vision correction for nearsightedness or farsightedness at one distance, while premium IOLs can improve astigmatism and sharpen your vision across multiple distances to reduce your reliance on glasses and contacts.
