Definition Again
Cataracts develop when the lens of your eye becomes cloudy and gradually reduces vision quality and clarity. Premium cataract surgery removes this cloudy lens and replaces it with an intraocular lens (IOL) that can restore sharp, vibrant sight. Beyond clearing cataracts, premium IOLs can also correct refractive errors, such as astigmatism or presbyopia, helping you see more clearly at multiple distances and often reducing or eliminating the need for glasses.
What Does Premium Cataract Surgery Treat?
Your eye’s natural lens works like a camera lens, focusing light precisely onto the retina for clear vision. When this lens becomes cloudy with age or other factors, it leads to cataracts that blur, dim, or distort what you see. Premium cataract surgery not only replaces this clouded lens but can also correct common refractive errors.
Premium cataract surgery can help relieve symptoms such as:
- Blurred or hazy vision
- Sensitivity to light or glare
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Fading or yellowing of colors
- Double vision in one eye
Benefits of Premium Cataract Surgery
Sharper, Clearer Vision
By replacing the cloudy natural lens with an intraocular lens (IOL), you regain crisp, vibrant sight with improved contrast and color perception, helping you see the world as it truly is. Many patients experience a dramatic improvement in visual sharpness within a day.
Correction of Refractive Errors
Premium IOLs can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and even presbyopia, often reducing or eliminating the need for glasses. These are customized to your eye’s unique shape, offering a more natural, balanced visual experience at multiple distances.
Greater Independence in Daily Life
Clear, reliable vision allows you to drive safely, read comfortably, and enjoy hobbies without depending heavily on glasses. By restoring depth perception and clarity, cataract surgery helps you regain confidence in everyday activities, thus enhancing your overall quality of life.
Precision With Laser-assisted Technology
Femtosecond laser-assisted techniques enhance accuracy, using computer-guided precision for incisions and cataract removal. This advanced technology minimizes trauma to surrounding tissues, reduces surgical energy use, and promotes precise lens positioning.
How is Premium Cataract Surgery Done?
During premium cataract surgery, your eye surgeon first uses advanced imaging to map the exact shape and curvature of your eye. Using a femtosecond laser, tiny incisions are created with exceptional accuracy to access the lens capsule. The laser then softens and breaks the natural lens into fine fragments, which are gently removed using ultrasound energy through a process called phacoemulsification. Once the cataract is removed, a custom-selected intraocular lens (IOL) is inserted and positioned to restore sharp, natural vision.
At our single-site, physician-owned surgical center, Dr. Shomer and Dr. Gunzenhauser perform this advanced procedure with exceptional accuracy and precision. Every cataract surgery plan is personalized, from the initial imaging to IOL selection, to match your visual goals. You’ll receive detailed explanations about your options and attentive follow-ups, ensuring you feel comfortable and cared for through each stage of your surgery and recovery.
Your Premium IOL Options
Extended Depth of Focus IOL
These lenses, such as Symfony® or Vivity™, extend your range of focus, providing seamless vision from far to intermediate distances. They reduce dependence on glasses and deliver smooth, continuous clarity for activities like driving, computer work, and daily tasks.
Monofocal IOL
Monofocal lenses, like the Eyhance™ IOL, provide excellent clarity at one fixed distance, typically for far vision. They’re ideal for patients seeking crisp, high-contrast sight and can be customized for near or intermediate focus based on your lifestyle and visual preferences.
Multifocal IOL
Multifocal IOLs, including PanOptix® and Synergy®, use advanced optical zones to correct near, intermediate, and distance vision simultaneously. These lenses offer a full range of clear sight and greatly reduce or even eliminate the need for glasses or reading lenses.
Toric IOL
Toric lenses are engineered to correct astigmatism by compensating for irregular corneal curvature. They provide sharp, stable vision at distance or near, minimizing blurriness and distortion, and can be combined with other lenses for even more precise correction.
How Long Does Recovery Take?
Most patients notice clearer vision within 24 hours. You can typically return to normal activities, including driving and reading, the next day. However, you must avoid heavy lifting, eye rubbing, or swimming for a short time to ensure healing. Prescription eye drops help prevent infection and inflammation, and follow-up visits enable your doctor to closely monitor your recovery.
