The best candidates for cataract surgery are at least 40 and older who suffer from the following symptoms:
- Seeing glares or halos around bright lights
- Double vision on one of your eyes
- Poor vision at night
- Light sensitivity
- Faded colors
- Blurry and/or distorted vision
How does Laser Cataract Surgery work
As with most procedures, cataract surgery will also start with a consultation (which you can schedule in our New York, Atlanta, and Paramus offices).
After establishing the root cause of your vision problems, your surgeon will map your eye with the necessary tools. This will generate detailed images of your eye, allowing the surgeon to locate the best place to make the incision necessary for cataract eye surgery.
Then, the surgeon will use the laser to make said incision and insert a small probe that will use sound waves to break up the lens damaged by cataracts into small places. Then the surgeon removes to probe and will place the artificial lens.
The entire procedure is pain-free, and you will probably be free to go home within 30 to 60 minutes following the procedure.
