Cataracts is a condition in which a cloudy layer develops over the lens of the eye. This occurs as a result of damage to the eye or due to the natural aging process. Cataracts develops over time, and some people might not require surgery. Other people may require surgery, especially if they suffer from debilities symptoms such as:

  • Cloudy vision
  • Increased glare
  • Halos around lights
  • Partial vision loss

  • Blurry vision

Do I Need an Eye Surgeon for Cataracts?

You will need help from an ophthalmology specialist if your cataracts is severely impeding your ability to see clearly and complete daily activities. He or she can provide eye surgery to help fix your cataracts and improve your quality of life.

What Happens During Cataracts Surgery?

About a week before your cataracts surgery, your ophthalmologist or eye doctor will determine the size needed for your intraocular lens. This lens is placed over your lens after the cloudy film of your lens is removed. It is unique in size and will provide a permanent barrier for your eye after surgery.

Is Cataracts Surgery Dangerous?

Cataracts surgery is associated with minimal risks and is an effective way to treat advanced cataracts. Fortunately, there is little risk for bleeding and infections or complications. However, your eye doctor will inform you of any risks and specific steps you need to take to minimize them.

Changes in medication and fasting for 12 hours before surgery might be required. The surgery itself lasts for less than an hour, and requires a small incision placed after the administration of local anesthetic. Patients are allowed to do surgery in an outpatient setting and can go home the same day to recover.
