What Is Cataract Surgery?
Cataract surgery is the most performed procedure in the United States, and it’s no wonder since about 50% of Americans will develop cataracts by age 75. In other words, either directly or indirectly, cataracts affect us all. And because they do, advancements in the way they’re treated benefit everyone.
Cataracts form when the proteins and fibers in your eye’s natural lens begin to break down, causing hazy or cloudy vision. Once begun, cataracts only worsen until surgery is necessary.
Cataract surgery is a procedure that removes the eye’s clouded natural lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens to restore vision. Laser technology provides precise, effective outcomes. The result is sharper vision and a higher quality of life.
Why Is Cataract Surgery Important?
Over time, cataracts can lead to severe vision impairment if left untreated. Cataract surgery offers significant benefits, like improved night vision and reduced glare, allowing you to see the world clearly again. At Sambursky Eye & Esthetics, our expertise ensures your procedure is safe, effective, and personalized.
Our advanced diagnostic tools provide comprehensive assessments to detect and evaluate cataracts. Our team of experienced specialists ensures accurate diagnoses, allowing us to tailor the best treatment plan for each patient’s unique needs.
RxSight Light Adjustable Lens (LAL)
LAL OVERVIEW
Until now, surgeons have relied upon the accuracy of pre-surgery measurements to determine a patient’s post-operative needs. But RxSight’s Light Adjustable Lens® is changing how the U.S.’ most common surgery — cataract surgery — is performed. With the LAL, surgeons simply implant the lens and adjust it, using a targeted ultraviolet light, after surgery.
WHY THE LAL IS SIGNIFICANT
Traditionally, cataract patients would undergo extensive pre-operative testing to determine the prescription (or power) their new implantable lens should be set at. However, pre-op testing cannot fully anticipate small shifts occurring during the healing process. Being able to adjust the lens’ power after healing is complete gives surgeons and patients the opportunity for clearer, more precise vision. The LAL removes the guesswork from cataract surgery.
Am I a candidate for Cataract Surgery?
Cataract surgery may be the right choice if you’re experiencing blurred vision, difficulty seeing at night, or noticing colors appear faded, which are common symptoms of cataracts. Ideal candidates are those whose daily activities are impacted by these visual impairments and who seek clearer, improved vision.
During a consultation at Sambursky Eye & Esthetics, our experts will evaluate your eye health and discuss whether cataract surgery is the best solution for you. This evaluation includes assessing the severity of your cataracts and any other eye conditions that might affect the surgery or recovery.
