What Is Cataract Surgery?

Rediscover sharper vision with refractive cataract surgery

Book a free consultation

Experience the world with clearer, more vibrant vision after refractive cataract surgery. Cataracts form when the proteins in your natural eye lens break down and cause clouded and blurred vision, halos around lights, light sensitivity, difficulty seeing at night, and more. During surgery, your surgeon removes your clouded natural lens and replaces it with an intraocular lens (IOL).

What Is Refractive Cataract Surgery?

Refractive cataract surgery is the process of correcting refractive errors, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia, as a part of the cataract removal process. To correct these vision challenges, your surgeon will implant a premium IOL.

What Are Intraocular Lenses?

An intraocular lens (IOL) is an artificial lens that replaces your natural eye lens. IOLs come in various types to meet your vision needs.

Monofocal or aspheric lenses focus at a single distance (near, intermediate, or far).

Multifocal lenses provide vision correction at near, middle, and far distances.

Light Adjustable Lenses™ can be adjusted with UV light after the procedure to fine-tune your vision as needed.

“I was impressed with the amount of detailed testing they did at my initial consultation. I had a great experience the day of my LASIK procedure with all of the staff. The results are amazing for such a quick procedure!”

Melissa S

“After 25+ years of glasses and contacts, all it took was about 10 minutes of surgery to correct my vision. Everyone was friendly and easy to work with throughout the process. To anyone considering getting their vision corrected, I give my highest recommendation to Durrie Vision.”

Brad

“Walked into the office unable to see the Snellen chart, walked out after SBK seeing 20/30, which improved to 20/15 at my next day follow-up. The entire process was seamless and professional, and the results are absolutely unbelievable. Had no idea my vision could ever be this clear.”

Kristin

“Quick, easy, friendly! Dr. Stahl did my SBK and I was seeing 20/15 the next morning! Amazing!”

Madalyn

“I had LASIK done last week and I am very pleased. I had never worn contacts and was not comfortable touching my eyes so I was nervous, but they provide Valium to ease nerves  It was easier than I expected. They say you’re in surgery for eight minutes but it didn’t even feel that long.”

Michael

“From the time that I walked into the building for my consultation until I walked out from my post-operation check-up, I was extremely impressed with the level of care. The attention to detail, the technology used to treat my astigmatism and the affordable cost, all were things that stood out.”
