Cataract surgery is a highly effective treatment that can restore clear vision and improve quality of life. The cataract surgeons at Eye Consultants of Pennsylvania offer top-tier surgical services and comprehensive eye care for those in Shillington, PA.

Common Cataract Symptoms

Cataracts occur when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, interfering with how light passes through the lens, leading to blurred or distorted vision. Common symptoms of cataracts include:

• Blurry or cloudy vision.
• Sensitivity to light and glare.
• Difficulty seeing at night.
• Fading or yellowing of colors.
• Frequent changes in prescription glasses or contact lenses.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is essential to consult with an eye care professional to determine if cataracts are the cause and to discuss potential treatment options.

The Cataract Surgery Process

Cataract surgery at Eye Consultants of Pennsylvania is typically performed outpatient, meaning patients can return home the same day. Here’s what you can expect during the process:

1. Pre-Surgical Consultation: Your surgeon will perform a comprehensive eye examination to assess the severity of your cataracts and discuss your vision goals. This evaluation includes measuring your eye’s shape and size to determine the best type of IOL.

2. Choosing the Intraocular Lenses (IOLs): We offer a range of customized IOL options, including monofocal, multifocal, toric, and extended depth of focus (EDOF) lenses to meet each patient’s vision needs, whether they require correction for astigmatism, want to reduce dependence on glasses or need clear vision at multiple distances.

3. The Procedure: Numbing eye drops and a mild sedative, if necessary, will keep you comfortable. The surgeon will make a small incision in the cornea and use ultrasound technology to break up and remove the clouded lens, replacing it with the IOL. The procedure takes about 15-30 minutes.

4. Post-Surgical Care: You will be given protective eyewear and eye drops to aid healing and prevent infection. Most patients experience improved vision within a few days and complete recovery within a few weeks. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing and ensure optimal results.
