Cataracts are a common eye condition that can make your vision cloudy or blurry. It happens when the lens in your eye, which is normally transparent, becomes more cloudy. This can make it challenging to see things clearly, especially when there's bright light or at night. Cataracts are very common and can affect your quality of life, but cataract surgery can restore your vision and allow you to experience the world with clarity and sharpness once again.
Only an eye doctor can diagnose whether you have a cataract or another type of vision problem. If you have any of the symptoms below, you should have your eyes checked by a specialist.
Common signs of a cataract include the following:
The ophthalmologists at Eye Care Specialists are some of the most experienced cataract surgeons in the Northeastern Pennsylvania region. Our doctors have collectively performed more than 50,000 successful cataract surgeries throughout their careers. At Eye Care Specialists, our doctors are always doing research on new lenses used with cataract surgery. We conduct case studies and research new technology to ensure you achieve the best possible results. Our cataract surgeons use only the highest quality materials with our IOLs to ensure better vision and longer-lasting results.
During cataract surgery, your cataract surgeon will remove your natural lens and replace it with an artificial lens, known as an intraocular lens or IOL, to allow you to see clearly once again. At Eye Care Specialists, we offer a variety of IOLs, including some advanced options that can reduce your dependence on glasses and contacts.
This option is for those who are motivated to eliminate or reduce eyeglasses for all activities and are genuinely inspired by personalized surgery. For this procedure, our surgeons utilize laser technology to help correct astigmatism along with a Lifestyle Intraocular Lens Implant (IOL) with Bifocal or Multifocal abilities. After your procedure, you will have little or no dependence on glasses for near, intermediate or distance vision.
This option is customized for those who are motivated to achieve their best vision correction following cataract surgery. With the use of our laser technology, we can correct astigmatism along with an Intraocular Lens Implant (IOL) with single distance ability providing you with optimum distance vision. You will need reading glasses following your procedure.
This option includes specialized testing to verify the correct power of the IOL implanted during surgery. You may need glasses for near and intermediate vision, and possibly distance vision.
We are pleased to offer truly innovative technology that provides valuable time savings and convenience for our cataract patients. Dropless Cataract Surgery is an option that allows our surgeons to dispense post-operative medications during your cataract procedure. What does this mean for you? Because all of your post-op drops are administered during your procedure, you won’t have to deal with time-consuming and often expensive and complicated post-operative drop regimens.
This safe and effective option provides you with a hassle-free, simpler recovery and also eliminates the high cost of prescription medications, co-pays, and insurance coverage concerns. We will help you decide if this is a good option for you during your cataract evaluation.
This option does not involve specialized testing or the use of laser technology. You may need glasses for all tasks.
