What is a Cataract?

A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s naturally clear lens. When the natural lens becomes cloudy, vision quality is diminished. Many people describe it as similar to looking through a foggy car window or a piece of waxed paper.

During cataract surgery, the cloudy natural lens of your eye is removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens, called an intraocular lens implant (IOL), which can dramatically improve your ability to see clearly.

If you think you may have a cataract, it’s important to visit Eye Consultants of Pennsylvania for evaluation and diagnosis. Sometimes, a condition that seems to be a cataract may actually be another problem altogether.

Types of Cataract Lenses

Today, there are several options when it comes to intraocular lenses (IOLs). They include monofocal, multifocal, toric, and accommodating lenses. Each one works differently to help achieve your vision correction goals. Your cataract doctor’s experience with each of these lenses will help you obtain the right lens for your eyes.

• Monofocal –A Monofocal Lens is a single-distance lens and the most basic of the available IOLs. With this lens, you may be able to drive without needing glasses, but most individuals require glasses after surgery for near, intermediate and distance vision.
• Multifocal –If your goal is to be less dependent on distance or reading glasses, consider a Multifocal or Pseudo-Accommodating Lens. These new-technology IOLs correct for all distances and can give you good near and far vision.
• Toric – Unlike eyeglasses, standard IOLs cannot correct astigmatism (an irregularly shaped cornea). A Toric Lens corrects astigmatism and can help patients who have worn glasses their whole life see much clearer in the distance — often without the aid of glasses.
• Accommodating – Accommodating IOLs are designed to help patients see clearly at varying distances without bifocals or reading glasses. According to clinical studies, the vast majority of patients who choose this IOL report that they never have to wear glasses for tasks such as driving, watching TV, using their cell phone or computer, and reading magazines, price tags and menus.
