What Is Cataract Surgery?

Cataracts occur when the lens inside your eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurry vision. This is a natural part of aging, but it can also be caused by various factors such as health conditions (like diabetes), medications, eye injuries, smoking, or exposure to UV light.

When cataracts begin to affect daily life—such as making it difficult to read, drive, or see clearly at night—it may be time to consider surgery. Cataract surgery involves replacing the cloudy lens with a clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL).

Cataract Implants: Better Vision for Your Lifestyle

For many years, cataract surgery involved replacing the eye’s cloudy lens with a standard monofocal IOL, which could correct vision at a single distance (either near or far).

However, with advancements in cataract surgery technology, there are now options that can address a broader range of visual needs, helping you see at all distances—near, intermediate, and far—without the need for glasses.

Dr. Powell offers a wide variety of intraocular lenses, including:

Multifocal IOLs: Corrects vision at near, intermediate, and far distances, reducing the need for glasses.
Astigmatism-correcting IOLs: Ideal for patients with astigmatism, offering better clarity and reduced dependence on corrective lenses.
TECNIS Symfony IOL: One of the first extended depth of focus (EDOF) lenses, providing continuous, quality vision at any distance.

TECNIS Symfony IOL

If you’re seeking a solution to restore both near and far vision without the constant need for glasses, the TECNIS Symfony IOL could be a great choice. This innovative lens offers:

Clear vision at all distances: Unlike traditional monofocal lenses, the TECNIS Symfony IOL offers continuous, quality vision across a full range of distances.
Improved low-light vision: The TECNIS Symfony IOL helps you see better in low-light conditions, such as when walking in the evening, driving at night, or going to the movies.
Minimal nighttime disturbances: While most patients experience enhanced clarity, mild visual symptoms (e.g., halos or glare) may occur under certain conditions, such as dim light or fog.

Dr. Powell can help you determine if this lens is the right fit for your needs during your cataract evaluation.

YAG Laser Treatment for Secondary Cataracts

After cataract surgery, a small percentage of patients may develop a condition known as a secondary cataract.

This occurs when the posterior capsule (the membrane behind the implanted lens) becomes cloudy over time. The good news is that this can be easily treated with a quick, painless in-office procedure called a posterior capsulotomy using the YAG laser.

The YAG laser treatment is quick, painless, and performed in the office without anesthesia or a hospital stay. Most patients experience improved vision within a day and can return to normal activities immediately.

If you’re dealing with blurry vision after cataract surgery, Dr. Powell will evaluate your condition and recommend the best treatment options.
