Cindy had cataract surgery using the LenSx laser and the Alcon PanOptix lens with Dr. Ashish Singh. See called her surgery “a piece of cake.”
Just as the lenses in a pair of glasses can get smudged or pick up fingerprints, the lens in our eye becomes cloudy as we get older. This happens when the proteins that make up the lenses in our eyes slowly congeal into clumps, causing common cataract symptoms like blurry vision, sensitivity to bright light, and difficulty reading. Cataracts are a common, entirely normal part of aging. Though younger adults can develop cataracts — especially those who’ve experienced a serious eye injury or who have certain medical conditions like diabetes — older adults are far more likely to develop them.
Because cataracts develop slowly, the first small signs are easy for most people to overlook. Most people don’t seek treatment for cataracts until they begin to noticeably interfere with their vision. Besides blurry vision, other symptoms of cataracts include:

Once you and your surgeon decide that it’s time for cataract surgery, you will likely have lots of questions about the procedure itself. A typical cataract surgery involves a few simple steps and takes only about 30 minutes:
While having eye surgery can seem scary or intimidating, modern cataract surgery is minimally invasive, and your recovery will likely be shorter and less painful than you may expect. It typically takes about four weeks to fully recover from surgery, but you should notice your vision gradually becoming clearer and more focused as the days pass.
We know the decision to have cataract surgery is a big one. That’s why our team of eye care experts has the knowledge and experience to help you understand your options to allow you to make the decision that is best for you and have a successful surgery.

Yes. As we age, the lenses of our eyes grow thicker and become cloudy, forming cataracts.
Modern medicine is not yet able to reverse the development of cataracts or prevent them from forming. Once cataracts are present, the only way to regain clear vision is to undergo cataract surgery.
As cataracts progress, contacts and glasses are unable to fully compensate for the problem, and cataract removal is necessary to replace the natural lens of the eye and correct vision. The clouded lens is replaced with intraocular lenses.
Most cataract surgeries use a process called phacoemulsification, which allows your surgeon to remove the cataract through a microscopic incision. This removes the need for stitches or patches after the procedures.
There are several treatment options available with cataract surgery. With standard IOL, vision is clear but you may still need reading glasses or other assistance as was needed before cataracts. Premium intraocular lenses greatly reduce or eliminate the need for corrective eyewear. Consult with your eye doctor on your vision goals to find the best fit for you.
Cataract surgery is not painful. Cataract patients typically experience a little eye pressure during the procedure, but eye drops are given to numb the eye prior.
