Custom Bladeless Laser Cataract Surgery
What are Cataracts?
Cataracts are a clouding of the natural lens of the eye. More than half of all Americans over the age of 65 have cataracts or have had cataract surgery. A cataract may lead to a gradual loss of vision.
In a normal eye, the clear, healthy lens focuses light and image on the retina. There, the image becomes nerve signals sent to the brain as sight. Only a clear lens focuses a sharp image on the retina. A cataract-clouded lens focuses a blurred image. Cataract surgery restores clear vision.
The most common symptoms of cataracts include:
- Blurred vision
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Seeing colors as faded
- Sensitivity to glare
- Seeing halos around lights
- Seeing double vision
- Frequent eyeglass prescription changes

What causes Cataracts?
Most cataracts are age-related. Other types may develop from medication, trauma, or heritage. Cataracts cannot be prevented, but UV-protective sunglasses may slow down their progression. Recent research and access to new technology have greatly advanced cataract surgery treatment.
