Access Patient PortalA cataract is clouding of the natural lens inside the eye which causes the vision to be blurred or diminished.
Cataracts are very common in older people and cannot be avoided. It is helpful to protect your eyes from bright sunlight and ultraviolet light. If you are at higher risk due to diabetes or other conditions, follow your doctor's instructions and get regular checkups.
Only your doctor can recommend the correct treatment. If your cataracts have reached a "mature" stage, have impeded your vision so that glasses do not help, and your daily activities are affected, you may be a candidate for cataract surgery. Dr. Hiss and his team can discuss the details and what results you can expect.
Often cataract surgery can improve vision with great results and few complications. However, your doctor can predict the outcome based on your individual case.
The lens implant is designed to last for the rest of your life. It does not need to be removed or cleaned. The lens will only be removed in the rare instance that it needs to be replaced, adjusted, or if it becomes dislocated.
