Understanding Cataracts
Cataracts are a common age-related vision problem that affects the clarity of the natural lens in your eye. Over time, the lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision, decreased color perception, and difficulty in performing daily activities. While cataracts cannot be reversed with medications or eyewear, cataract surgery is a highly effective and safe procedure to restore vision.
Types of Cataract Surgery
At David J Scholten, OD, PC, we offer several advanced cataract surgery options to address your specific needs:
Traditional Cataract Surgery
Traditional cataract surgery, also known as extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE), involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a clear intraocular lens (IOL). This procedure is performed by making a small incision in the cornea and using ultrasound technology to break up and remove the cataract.
Phacoemulsification
Phacoemulsification is a modern cataract surgery technique that uses a small incision and an ultrasound probe to emulsify and remove the cataract. This method offers faster recovery times and minimal risk of complications compared to traditional surgery.
Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery
Laser-assisted cataract surgery utilizes the precision of femtosecond lasers to create corneal incisions and break up the cataract. This technology allows for enhanced accuracy and customization during the procedure, resulting in improved outcomes and reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses post-surgery.
Choosing the Right Cataract Surgery Option
Deciding on the most suitable cataract surgery option requires a thorough evaluation of your eye health, lifestyle, and visual goals. Our highly skilled eye care specialists will conduct a comprehensive examination and discuss the benefits and risks of each technique with you.
