What are Cataracts?
Cataracts are a common eye condition characterized by the clouding of the eye’s natural lens, which is typically clear. This clouding of the lens can lead to blurred or hazy vision, making it difficult to see clearly.
Cataracts can develop slowly over time, although they can also result from injury, medication use, or certain medical conditions. The condition is treatable through cataract surgery, during which the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL), restoring clear vision.
What are the Signs of Cataracts?
Cataracts often progress gradually, causing blurry, cloudy vision. Common indications of cataracts include progressively blurred vision, increased sensitivity to glare from lights, difficulty with night vision, changes in color perception, and the onset of double vision in one eye.
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to consult with our experienced team at See Vision Eye Institute for a comprehensive evaluation and to see if cataract surgery is right for you.
Why Cataract Surgery?
Cataract surgery offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to customize your vision to your lifestyle.
Personalized Vision After Cataract Surgery
Design Your Vision With The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL)
The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) redefines cataract treatment, offering patients the ability to customize and fine-tune their vision post-surgery. This advanced implant is made from a light-sensitive material, allowing us to tailor the lens’s shape and focusing power through gentle, in-office UV light sessions. The result? Sharper, clearer vision that is precisely aligned to your individual vision needs. Discover how the LAL can restore your vision after cataracts and transform your quality of life.
Common Cataract Symptoms
Cataracts can manifest with various symptoms, which may include:
The most common symptom is a gradual decrease in the clarity of your vision. It may feel like looking through a foggy or frosted window.
Colors may appear faded or yellowish due to the cataract’s effect on the eye’s lens. 
Cataracts can lead to double vision in one eye, which can be exceptionally bothersome.

Advanced Lens Technology
Refractive Lens Exchange
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) is a modern solution for refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or presbyopia. RLE is similar to cataract surgery but replaces a clear lens instead of a cloudy one. It’s ideal for those over 50, no longer LASIK candidates, and not yet ready for traditional cataract surgery, offering the benefits of clearer vision without glasses.
Cataract Postoperative Care
At See Vision Eye Institute, our commitment to your well-being doesn’t end with the surgery. After your cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange, our team will guide you through a personalized post-operative care plan.
Cataract surgery recovery is generally swift. Most patients experience significant vision improvement within a few days to a week, although full recovery may take several weeks. Postoperative care involves using prescribed eye drops and possibly protective eyewear. Follow-up exams are scheduled to monitor progress, and you can usually resume light activities within a day or two but should avoid strenuous activities for a couple of weeks.
