How Do I Know If I Need Cataract Surgery?
At first, cataracts are mild and without symptoms.. As they progresses, the symptoms will become more apparent and the question will come up as to whether or not you should have surgery. There are signs to look out for, but ultimately you should discuss your options with your eye care specialist. Surgery may be considered if:
- Your vision is blurry or dim
- You feel unsafe driving at night due to glare or halos
- You need more light to read
- Your glasses prescription is changing rapidly
- You find the clarity of your vision has decreased
If you have any of these symptoms, call us. Cataract surgery may improve your vision dramatically.
Choosing the Best Implant for Cataract Surgery
Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are medical devices that are implanted inside the eye to replace the eye's natural lens when it is removed during cataract surgery. IOLs also are used for a type of vision correction surgery called refractive lens exchange.
Here are the types of IOLs
