Are you experiencing vision changes from cataracts that have begun to affect your quality of life? Do you want to regain your visual independence?
At Clarity Eye Center, our experienced team of ophthalmologists offers personalized cataract surgery to help you achieve visual freedom from your cataracts and get back to doing the things you love with excellent clarity.
What Are Cataracts?
Cataracts typically occur as a result of the natural aging process when proteins within the natural lens of the eye begin to break down. They can form clumps that cause your lens to become clouded, impairing your vision and leading to symptoms such as:
- Cloudy, blurry vision
- Poor night vision
- Colors appearing yellowed, dulled, or faded
- Glare and halos around lights
- Double vision
- Light sensitivity
- Difficulty reading in low light
Although these symptoms are often associated with cataracts, they could be symptoms of other conditions such as dry eye syndrome, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or age-related macular degeneration. If you think you may have cataracts, you should schedule a cataract evaluation with your eye doctor at Clarity Eye Center, where they can perform a variety of examinations and tests to diagnose your condition and recommend the best treatment plan for you.
What is Cataract Surgery?
Cataracts usually develop slowly over a period of many years, so patients may not need treatment immediately after diagnosis. However, if your cataracts have started to impair your ability to carry out daily activities like reading, driving, or working, it is time to consider cataract surgery.
Cataract surgery is the only way to remove cataracts. As most people will develop cataracts at some point in their lifetime, it is one of the most common procedures performed in the United States.
During cataract surgery, your cataract surgeon will make a small incision in the front surface of your eye and use ultrasound waves to break up your natural lens. Then, they will remove the lens and replace it with an IOL or intraocular lens.
The entire procedure takes around 10 to 15 minutes and is considered comfortable for many patient, as your eye will be numbed. Your new IOL cannot grow cataracts, meaning after you undergo cataract surgery, you’ll never have to worry about cataracts impairing your vision again.

What is Recovery Like After Cataract Surgery?
Immediately after your procedure, you will need to have someone drive you home so you can rest and recover. Your cataract surgeon will send you home with a protective eye shield to wear while you sleep, and prescription eye drops to help protect your eyes from infection and reduce inflammation.
You may experience temporary discomfort as your eyes heal, but most patients notice an improvement in both their vision and side effects after a few short days. Full recovery can take anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks, but you can return to normal activities much sooner.
Your eye doctor will likely clear you to work and drive at your first follow-up appointment after cataract surgery and provide guidelines for when you can return to other activities. Then, you can start enjoying your crystal-clear vision, free of cataracts!
Will I Need to Wear Glasses After Cataract Surgery?
Although your vision will no longer be clouded by cataracts, you may still need glasses for certain activities, depending on the lifestyle lens package you choose. Patients who choose the premium vision or personalized vision packages can enjoy reduced dependence on visual aids and may even achieve complete visual independence.
While visual changes from cataracts can be frustrating, personalized cataract surgery at Clarity Eye Center provides patients with a unique opportunity to not only regain clear vision, but experience better vision than ever before with lifestyle treatment packages and IOLs like the Light Adjustable Lens. You can get back to the things you love with greater visual freedom and peace of mind, knowing your cataracts are gone for good.
