Cataract Surgery

One of the greatest “medical miracles” is modern cataract surgery.  This surgery that was once fraught with risks and at best a lifetime of thick, unsightly glasses is now being used to safely improve the quality of life for millions of Americans every year.  With the current modern techniques, cataracts are removed through tiny incisions that usually do not require stitches.  The surgery is normally painless and takes less than 20 minutes with vision improvement  usually achieved within 1 – 3 days.  With conventional lens implants, good functional vision can be achieved without glasses, either at near or at distance, but not at both distances without glasses.  The revolutionary new technology multifocal lens implants deliver a high level of glasses-free vision for distance and near activity.
