Cataract Surgery: What You Need to Know
🔴 Who Needs Cataract Surgery?
- Adults experiencing blurry vision with glasses or contact lenses
- People struggling with night glare or halos around lights
🔴 Before Surgery:
To receive a referral for cataract surgery, you'll need a current glasses prescription (less than a year old) or a Comprehensive Eye Exam.
🔴 Understanding Cataract Surgery:
Cataract surgery involves the surgical removal of the cloudy natural lens, replacing it with an artificial one. This elective surgery is tailored to your visual needs and aims to improve your quality of life by restoring clear vision.
There are two main reasons for lens removal:
1. Cataract: When the lens becomes cloudy, causing blurred vision.
2. Refractive Lens Exchange: To reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
🔴 Pre-Operative Evaluation:
Considering cataract surgery? Here are three key questions:
1. Am I a suitable candidate?
2. How do I choose the best doctors and technology for optimal results?
3. How do I get top-quality care at an affordable price?
At Vivid Visions Optometry, Inc., in partnership with world renowned eye surgeons, we provide clear, honest answers to help you make an informed decision.
🔴 The Surgical Procedure:
Once it's decided that you need cataract surgery, you'll be scheduled for this life-changing outpatient procedure at our state-of-the-art surgery center. The natural lens will be replaced with an intraocular lens implant (IOL).
🔴 Intraocular Lens Implants:
You'll choose between two types of IOLs:
- Traditional IOLs (Monofocal Lenses): These focus on a single distance, usually requiring bifocals or reading glasses for close or intermediate vision.
- Specialty IOLs (Presbyopia-Correcting Implants): These provide a range of vision, reducing dependence on glasses for both distance and near vision.
🔴 Post-Operative Care:
After your surgery, Dr. Antonyan, O.D., will oversee your post-operative care. Your vision and eye health will be closely monitored. You'll have a follow-up visit the day after surgery and can resume most activities the next day, ensuring a smooth recovery process.
If you’re in need of quality eye care, Dr. David Antonyan can help.
