Cataract Vision Correction Lenses

A Good Time To Have Cataract Surgery?

This year millions of Americans will choose to have their vision improved by having cataract surgery and the news is good.

Technological advances have made cataract surgery one of the safest and most performed surgeries today. In fact, more than 3 million cataract surgeries are performed each year in the United States. New lens implants have been developed that are designed to improve your vision and also help to reduce your dependency on glasses after cataract surgery.However, currently there is no lens that can restore your vision to the way it was prior to developing cataracts and no surgeon can guarantee that you will be completely free from wearing glasses after surgery.

One key point to remember is this. Cataract surgery is not performed to eliminate the need for glasses but rather to Cure the Cataract.

The links below will describe the new types of premium or "smart" lenses that are available. Not everyone will be a candidate for the lens they might choose, and only you and your surgeon together can make the determination about which lens is right for you. Extensive patient education and communication between you and your surgeon is paramount to making the right choice when it comes to your new lens implants. If you have been diagnosed with cataracts and are considering surgery you will find the information on the links very helpful.
