What are Cataracts?

Cataracts are the clouding of the natural lens in the eye, leading to blurred or impaired vision. They develop gradually over time and are primarily associated with aging, though other factors like genetics, certain medications, and medical conditions can accelerate their formation. As cataracts progress, they can hinder your ability to read, drive, or perform other routine tasks. If your cataracts have reached a point where they interfere with your daily life, cataract surgery may be a viable option to restore clear vision.

The Cataract Surgery Process

Cataract surgery is a safe and highly effective procedure in which your cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). The surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis, and the process involves the following steps:

• Preoperative assessment – Our experienced ophthalmologists will conduct a comprehensive eye examination to determine the extent of your cataracts and assess your overall eye health.
• Anesthesia – Local anesthesia is administered to numb the eye and ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
• Lens removal– A tiny incision is made in the eye, and the clouded lens is gently broken apart using advanced techniques, such as phacoemulsification, before being suctioned out.
• IOL placement – The artificial IOL is then skillfully implanted in the same position as the natural lens, allowing for improved vision clarity.
• Recovery – Following the surgery, most patients experience improved vision within a day, although complete recovery may take a few weeks.

Types of Cataract Surgeries & Lens Options

At Sight360, we offer two types of cataract surgery:

• Traditional cataract surgery– Your ophthalmologist will make an incision in your cornea using a small blade, before following the steps outlined above.
• Femto Laser bladeless cataract surgery – A computer-guided laser will make a very precise incision in your cornea. This highly accurate method helps reduce vision irregularity and can lessen or even eliminate astigmatism.

In addition to choosing which type of cataract surgery you’d like to receive, you can also select the type of artificial lens that will replace your natural lens. We offer:

• Light adjustable intraocular lens
• Monofocal intraocular lens
• Monovision with monofocal intraocular lens
• AcrySof® IQ toric intraocular lens
• AcrySof® IQ PanOptix® trifocal intraocular lens
• AcrySof® IQ PanOptix® trifocal toric intraocular lens
