Cataracts occur when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision, glare, and difficulty with daily activities. Cataract surgery removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens to restore vision. There are many different types of artificial lenses that can be placed in the eye after a cataract is removed. Your surgeon will talk through these options with you during your visit, since the best choice depends on your individual needs and isn’t something that can be easily compared from one person to another.

Who it’s for:
Patients experiencing cloudy vision, glare, poor night vision, or vision loss related to cataracts.

YAG laser procedures are commonly used to restore vision after cataract surgery when scar tissue or film develops behind the implanted lens. This is very normal, and most patients who have cataract surgery will develop this at some point in their lifetime. The good news is that your vision can be restored to how it was just after cataract surgery with a safe, painless, and very quick laser treatment.

Our approach:
YAG laser treatment is performed as an out-patient surgical procedure and coordinated by our ophthalmology team to improve visual clarity with minimal downtime.
