Cataract Surgery
It’s incredibly common for your eyes to develop cataracts, but thanks to the talented team at DLV Vision, we can stop them from affecting your vision! The only way to truly restore your eyesight after the development of cataracts is through surgery, but don’t worry — you can rely on our doctors’ skill and precision to bring you the clarity you deserve.
What Are Cataracts?
Cataracts occur when the eye’s clear lens becomes cloudy, usually due to the body’s natural aging process. Since cataracts progress slowly, you might not notice any differences in your vision at first. As the cataracts continue to develop, they will impact your vision more and more, and you’ll notice the following symptoms:
- Sensitivity to light
- Light seems too bright or glaring
- Visual halos around bright lights
- Double vision
- Difficulty seeing at night or in low light
- Blurry, hazy, or reduced vision
- Colors appear less vibrant
As we age, the lens becomes cloudy due to clumps of proteins forming in the eye which impair and obstruct your vision. While we’re not entirely sure what causes cataracts to form, we do know there are several risk factors for them, including but not limited to, prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays, smoking, and a family history of cataracts.
Our Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)
During your cataract surgery, your cloudy natural lens is replaced with an intraocular lens, or IOL. These lenses can restore or even enhance your eyesight, reducing or eliminating the need for eyewear after your surgery. Our team offers a range of IOLs that are personalized to match your vision’s specific needs.
Multifocal and Trifocal Lenses
The AcrySof® IQ PanOptix® trifocal lenses improve vision at all distances, offering greater independence from glasses and making them extremely beneficial to patients who have myopia and presbyopia.
Extended Depth of Focus Lenses (EDOF)
An IOL that enhances distance and intermediate vision, the Clareon® Vivity® IOL uses unique technology to capture all available light and create an extended visual range without halos, glare, or streaks.
Aspherical Lenses
Aspheric IOLs help correct spherical aberration, meaning they allow light to pass through the eye at just the right angle for overall greater clarity and contrast sensitivity — even at night.
The Softec Lens from Lenstec uses an adjustable curvature to create the ideal point of focus for the patient. This design also decreases the sensitivity that’s common in those with smaller pupils.
Standard Lenses
Standard lenses are basic, government-issued spherical lenses that are typically covered by insurance.
Our standard monofocal IOLs are a long-trusted, classic solution to cataracts that will give you clear, worry-free sight.
