Count on the cataract experts at Eye Consultants of Pennsylvania
Cataracts and cataract surgery are very common, particularly as we get older. In fact, by age 80, more than half of all Americans either have a cataract or have had cataract surgery. Cataracts are also the leading cause of vision loss in people age 55 and older. Worldwide, they are the leading cause of reversible blindness.
Cataract surgery, performed by one of our board-certified cataract surgeons, can mean more than just improving your quality of vision — it presents a unique opportunity to change the way you see for the rest of your life. And cataract surgery is one of the most common operations performed in the United States. It also is one of the safest and most effective types of surgery. Our cataract specialists are very experienced with the latest minimally invasive cataract surgery techniques and can help you choose the treatment option that’s best for you.

Learn about cataracts: symptoms, diagnosis and treatments
What is a cataract? What are the symptoms?
A cataract is a clouding of the naturally clear lens inside the eye. It is progressive and gradual. Cataract symptoms include blurry vision, problems reading, sensitivity to sunlight or car headlights and difficulty driving at night. Patients with cataracts also often complain of increased difficulty seeing at night due to glare or light sensitivity. Simple everyday tasks such as driving can be affected.
Beyond any safety issues, cataracts rob people of the little things that make life wonderful — like seeing and playing with grandchildren or watching movies or reading or enjoying any number of life’s little treasures. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
What are my treatment options?
Cataract Surgery is one of the most successful and safest procedures performed in the world. In fact, more than 3 million are performed each year in the United States. It is a quick outpatient procedure that we perform in one of our several state-of-the-art surgical suites. Patients often resume their normal daily activities the next day.
Based on your vision and examination, your doctor may recommend removing the cataract and replacing it with a clear lens implant. The procedure is painless and precise. Your surgeon will remove the cataract through a tiny incision so small that it will seal without even needing a stitch. Once the cataract has been removed, your doctor will place a new, clear lens in the eye to restore sharper vision. There are also several replacement lens options. Your surgeon will explain those options to you.

Take the first step.
If you’ve been told that you have a cataract – or you think you might have a cataract, a careful, comprehensive eye examination by one of our cataract specialists is the first step. Our doctors use very specialized equipment — and years of training and experience — to examine your eyes and check for the presence of cataracts. If you do have symptomatic cataracts, your doctor will personally sit and discuss with you the health of your eyes, how your cataracts are affecting your vision and what treatment options are available.
