Cataracts are the natural clouding of the lens in your eye, making it difficult for light to enter. They develop gradually and happen to almost everyone. At first you may not notice any changes to your vision, but eventually you will start to notice symptoms. When your cataracts start to affect daily tasks like reading or driving, it may be time to think about cataract surgery.
Warning signs for cataracts:
- Blurred Vision.
- Sensitivity to Light & Glare.
- Difficulty Seeing at Night.
- Vision Changes. (Frequent changes in your prescription)
- Colors Not as Vibrant.
- Halos & Double Vision.
Cataract surgery is only performed once in a person’s lifetime, so it is important to consider your lens options.
Advanced cataract surgery allows the surgeon to tailor your procedure with the goal of reducing your dependency on glasses or contact lenses. Griffin Eye Center provides more options for advanced cataract surgery in the local region. We use the latest cataract Intra-Ocular Lenses (IOLS) that fit your unique eye and/or the Light Adjustable Lens that can be adjusted after cataract surgery.
The advanced Intra-Ocular Lenses (IOLS), and latest vision diagnostics can potentially eliminate one’s dependence on glasses for most activities such as driving, working on a computer and/or reading a book, rendering a more natural like-vision.
There are several advanced IOL options, each having some advantages and disadvantages. These include Accommodating IOLs, Multifocal IOLs, Toric for astigmatism and the new Light Adjustable Lens. Which one is best for you depends on the unique characteristics of your eye as well as your lifestyle needs.
