Cataract Surgery
Is Refractive Cataract Surgery Right for You?
While cataracts can develop at any age, they’re most commonly found in people over the age of 60. The condition occurs when the natural lens in your eyes becomes cloudy, causing blurred or distorted vision. If your decline in vision is affecting your daily activities, it may be time to consider cataract surgery. Symptoms of cataracts include:
- Clouded, blurred, or dim vision
- Increasing difficulty with vision at night
- Fading or yellowing of colors
- Double vision in a single eye
- Sensitivity to light and glare
- Halos around lights
- Difficulty reading in dim light
- Frequent changes in prescriptions
Refractive Cataract Surgery Versus Basic Cataract Surgery
When it comes to cataract surgery, not all procedures are created equal.
Basic cataract surgery relies on standard, monofocal lenses, leaving common vision issues, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, uncorrected. As a result, you may still need bifocals to see clearly at different distances.
Durrie Vision offers refractive cataract surgery, an advanced form of the procedure that restores vision at near, intermediate, and far distances, reducing or eliminating the need for readers or bifocals. Our personalized approach involves using monofocal, multifocal, and toric IOLs that are customized to meet your unique needs.
