WHAT IS CATARACT SURGERY

CATARACTS

Cataracts are an ocular condition that occurs when the naturally clear lens of the eye becomes clouded. The condition is more likely to afflict those over the age of 65 and can occur in one or both eyes. Indications of cataracts include general blurriness of vision, sensitivity to light, especially at night while trying to drive, and progressive difficulty reading. However, those suffering from cataracts have the option of discussing the possibility of cataract surgery with our Dallas cataracts surgery specialists.

CATARACT SURGERY: THE PATH TO CLEARER VISION

Experience the transformative journey of cataract surgery, a meticulously designed outpatient procedure aimed at restoring clarity to your vision. This intricate process involves the gentle removal of your eye’s natural lens, seamlessly replaced with a cutting-edge intraocular lens (IOL). Your trusted eye specialist will meticulously guide you through the selection of the ideal artificial lens, tailored to your unique needs and preferences. Whether you opt for the time-tested traditional approach or the advanced precision of laser cataract surgery, rest assured, you’re in expert hands.

Before the procedure commences, a localized anesthesia ensures your comfort, with the option of tranquilizing medication available upon request to ease any apprehensions. Remarkably swift, most patients find the surgery completed in under 20 minutes, offering a swift path to visual rejuvenation.

CATARACT SURGERY: THE PATH TO CLEARER VISION

When you make the decision to undergo cataract surgery, delving into the intricacies of the procedure is only natural. Here’s a glimpse into what typically unfolds:

To begin, our esteemed team of eye surgeons in Dallas will administer a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Following that, they delicately create a small opening at the forefront of your eye, facilitating the gentle extraction of the clouded lens caused by the cataract. Subsequently, they seamlessly insert a cutting-edge artificial lens, known as an intraocular lens, crafted from top-grade materials like acrylic, plastic, or silicone. As your eye embarks on its healing journey, it integrates with the new lens, gradually unveiling sharper vision.

Remarkably, the entire surgical endeavor is completed in under 20 minutes. Thanks to the minuscule nature of the incision, stitches or sutures are seldom necessary. Rest assured, cataract removal surgery is conducted as an outpatient procedure, often allowing patients to return home within a mere two hours of their arrival.
