Cataracts
For most people, cataracts are a natural result of aging. A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens, the part of the eye responsible for focusing light and producing clear, sharp images.
In the past cataract surgery meant big bandages, long recovery time, and thick "cataract" glasses. But cataract surgery has come a long way and it is now a very common and very safe procedure with little discomfort or recovery time. Whether you choose conventional IOL (intraocular lens) cataract surgery or the new premium IOL cataract surgery, our highly skilled and experienced surgeons, Dr. Liss and Dr. DeStafeno, will do all they can to ensure your surgery and follow-up care go as smoothly as possible.
Conventional cataract surgery patients usually see well in the distance without spectacles but they often have difficulty with near work activities without spectacles. In other words, following cataract surgery, glasses will be needed most of the time for tasks such as reading, paying bills, hobby and craftwork, card playing and grocery shopping.
Many patients desire better visual function following cataract surgery and do not want to have to be dependent on spectacles all the time for their near vision tasks. For these patients we recommend a procedure termed Premium IOL Cataract Surgery.
