Cataracts

Cataracts have become an increasingly common cause of decreased vision as our population ages and lives longer. In fact, cataracts are the leading cause of vision loss among people over 55. Cataract surgery with an Intraocular Lens Implant (IOL) is not only one of the most frequent types of operations performed in the United States today, but also one of the safest and most effective. Cataract surgery recovery is usually quite uneventful and cataract surgery problems and complications are infrequent.

Whitten Laser Eye offers very successful treatment options for the symptoms of cataracts. There has been a rapid evolution in cataract treatment over the past few years. Cataract patients now experience greater choice in options, convenient outpatient procedures and fast recoveries – often returning to their normal activities the following day. And the latest Premium Multifocal lenses can improve vision for various distances all at once, making it possible after cataract surgery to read the small print again without your glasses!

Over 3 million cataract surgery procedures are performed each year in the United States by implanting tiny, permanent artificial Intraocular Lens Implants or IOLs to achieve vision correction after surgery. The short recovery time after cataract surgery allows the vast majority of patients to resume their everyday activities within a day or so after their cataract procedure.
