Cataract surgery: restore your vision, rediscover your freedom
When cataracts affect vision enough to warrant surgical intervention, our eye surgeons perform cataract surgery to remove your clouded lens and replace it with an intraocular lens (IOL). We offer advanced standard IOLs as well as premium IOLs that can restore focus at near and far. After undergoing cataract surgery with our surgeons, many patients experience a minimized need for spectacle correction.
Dr. Haley and Dr. Hansen are dedicated and caring surgeons who can restore your vision with cataract surgery. Their love for, and dedication to, achieving the best possible vision in every patient is clear.
What is a cataract?
We all have a natural lens in our eye behind the iris (the colored portion of our eye) that focuses light onto an important membrane called the retina which then sends the image to our brain. This process helps our brain create sharp, clear visual images.
Over time, tissues inside the lens start to break down and thicken, creating a clouding of the lens. This is called a cataract.
Cataracts are most often caused by aging, but many other factors can contribute to worsening cataracts, including UV light, trauma, injuries, previous eye surgery, or systemic disease such as diabetes can also increase your cataract development.
Our eye surgeons use the latest technologies at our surgery centers to make your cataract procedure as safe, comfortable and effective as possible. Dr. Haley and Dr. Hansen have extensive experience and expertise with simple to complex cataract surgery.
Once your clouded natural lens is removed, your surgeon will replace it with an intraocular lens (IOL). Cutting-edge technology including Lenstar measurements and corneal topography equipment are used to precisely customize your cataract surgery and determine the best kind of IOL for your needs. Depending on your unique needs and the IOL you choose, cataract surgery may reduce or eliminate your need for contacts or glasses.
