What is involved with Cataract Surgery?

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.
