Frequently asked questions on Cataract Surgery
What are cataracts?
A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens of your eye that causes your vision to appear hazy. Cataracts happen gradually as your eyes get older, and the natural lens will eventually need to be removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens in order for you to see clearly.
What are the symptoms of cataracts?
What is an intraocular lens?
Symptoms of cataracts include:
• Clouded, blurred, or dim vision
• Reduced quality of night vision
• Light sensitivity

What is an intraocular lens?
An intraocular lens (IOL) is an artificial lens that is implanted during surgery to replace your cataract lens. You can choose from many different types of IOLs—some are designed to provide only distance vision, while trifocal lenses deliver near, intermediate, and distance vision for clear, complete focus. After a surgeon removes your cataract-clouded lens, he or she will implant the IOL that you chose before your procedure.

What happens before and during cataract surgery?
Before cataract surgery, you’ll meet with your doctor or another eye care professional to talk about your lens options and to clarify any questions or concerns you may have. Remember to disclose any current prescriptions or medications you’re taking. Before the surgeon begins the procedure, they’ll dilate your pupils and apply preoperative medication.During the procedure:• Anesthetic is applied to your eye.
• The surgeon makes a small incision in your cornea in order to access the cataract.
• The cataract is gently broken up and removed.
• Your chosen IOL is implanted to replace the original lens.
Cataract surgery incisions are very small and can be made manually or with a laser. Talk to your doctor to find out more about bladeless laser-assisted surgery, manual surgery, and the differences between them. When you’re preparing for cataract, it’s important that you feel confident and ready. Double check that you’re ready with our pre-surgery checklist.
