Cataract with Implant Surgery
A cataract is the clouding of the lens inside the eye behind the iris. Surgery is the only way to remove a cataract. There are no medications, dietary supplements, exercises, or optical devices to effectively treat cataracts. In most instances, cataract surgery is an elective procedure. This means the time to remove the cataract is when it interferes with your visual needs. Based on your symptoms, our doctors at MEA will recommend when surgery is appropriate. The surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia on an out-patient basis using a microscope and delicate instruments to remove the cataract. In most cases, the focusing power of the eye is restored by placing a permanent lens implant inside the eye. The plastic lens implant is held in place by a natural membrane in the eye. In approximately 20% of people, this natural membrane will become cloudy, causing a decrease in vision. When this occurs, a laser can be used to open this cloudy membrane and restore vision. The laser is only used after the initial cataract surgery. Lasers are not used to remove the cataract itself.
