Restoring Clear Vision with Cataract Removal and IOLs
Cataracts form when proteins in the eye’s lens clump together, fogging the lens and causing vision problems. This type of vision impairment typically occurs gradually over time and is often associated with aging. Other factors such as diabetes, smoking, and prolonged exposure to sunlight can also contribute to the development of different types of cataracts.
When cataracts start to interfere significantly with daily activities and vision cannot be adequately corrected with glasses or contact lenses, surgery is the only way to restore vision.
Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery in Laguna Hills, CA
Laser eye surgery for cataracts is a modern alternative to the traditional cataract procedure. The laser is used to create precise incisions in the cornea and to soften the affected lens before it is removed. This can improve the accuracy and consistency of the surgery. Here’s how the surgery goes:
- Preparation: Patient preparation, including local anesthesia and eye drop application.
- Laser-Assisted Incisions: Laser creates precise incisions in the cornea and lens capsule.
- Cataract Removal: Cataract is broken up and removed using an ultrasound probe.
- IOL Implantation: Artificial intraocular lens (IOL) is inserted and positioned correctly.
- Closure: Incision is self-sealing and does not need stitches.
- Follow-up: Postoperative care, including antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops, and follow-up appointments.
Intraocular Lens (IOLs) Options in Laguna Hills, CA
Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are the artificial lenses implanted during cataract surgery to replace the eye’s natural lens, which has become clouded by a cataract. These lenses are designed to restore clear vision by focusing light properly onto the retina. IOLs come in various types, each offering different benefits:
- The basic option is called a monofocal IOL. These are designed to correct vision at just one focal point. This means that while they may reduce the need for glasses for the chosen distance, individuals may still require glasses for other distances.
- Premium lenses provide a wider range of vision than monofocal lenses. Also known as lifestyle lenses, these IOLs provide the ability to focus on objects at different distances. There are several types of premium lenses available: your surgeon will assess you to find the best fit for your eye and lifestyle needs.
