Cataracts Surgery

Cataracts are a common eye condition that clouds the lens of the eye and reduces vision. Cataracts usually occur in older adults. Cataracts can be treated with surgery from a qualified eye care specialist. Our eye doctors at Chapel Hills Vision Clinic can provide a diagnosis, pre-op care, and post-op care for Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas. If you suspect that you have cataracts and are considering cataract surgery, we can answer any questions that you may have regarding cataracts.

Cataracts Surgery

Cataract Surgery Helps you See Better

Advanced cataracts make it difficult to drive, see at night, read, and perform many routine tasks that require clear eyesight. In addition to age, cataracts can also result from injuries, congenital disabilities, and exposure to the sun.

Your Clouded Lenses Get Replaced With Artificial Lenses

Cataract surgery involves removing your natural eye lens and replacing it with an artificial lens called an intraocular lens. The intraocular lens becomes a permanent part of your eye.

An Incision is Made to Insert the Artificial Lens

The eye doctor will use anesthetic eye drops to numb your eye. Sedation or other anesthetics will help you relax for the procedure as well. The cloudy lens is removed and replaced with the clear, artificial lens. You can get both eyes done on the same day, or do one and return four to eight weeks later for the other eye.

Preparation for Cataracts Surgery

A thorough eye exam is the first step before scheduling cataract surgery. You may need eye tests, blood work, and other tests. You will be provided with specific directions about medications and fasting before the surgery. It is also not safe to drive home alone after the surgery so make sure to have a friend drive you home.

Minor Discomfort is to be Expected

You will have some itchiness, mild pain, and sensitivity following the surgery. It is important to follow your post-op treatment plan. If the pain continues or you experience other issues, please let our eye doctors know.
