Cataract Surgery

Book Now

If you or a loved one are struggling with cloudy vision, it may be time to see an eye care professional for a cataract evaluation. For many people, cataracts are a normal part of the aging process. Cataracts don’t cause pain, and sometimes, they’re small enough that they don’t cause any symptoms. Some people choose to ignore cataracts, but it’s important to watch them closely and take action if the become severe. Not all cataracts will require surgery. The earlier that an eye care professional performs a cataract evaluation, the more likely it is that eye surgery will be able to provide you with vision correction. If left untreated, cataracts can eventually take your vision. Because your quality of life is important to us we tailor our Baltimore cataract surgery as well as other treatments and procedures to best meet your needs. A life without glasses or contacts is possible with our cataract procedures.

LASER CATARACT SURGERY BENEFITS

For some patients, this condition can be very difficult because it can prevent them from participating in normal daily activities, such as reading or driving. A corrective procedure to remove the clouded lens and replace it with an intraocular lens (IOL) can restore a patient’s visual acuity. In addition to improved visual clarity, there are many other benefits of cataract surgery performed by Dr. Goel. Namely, Dr. Goel performs Refractive Cataract Surgery by performing laser-assisted cataract surgery with Premium IOLs in an effort to maximize your visual results. The most apparent benefit of cataract surgery is clearer, sharper vision. There are different types of IOLs that you can choose from to meet your goals and needs. Traditional monofocal IOLs will provide you with clear vision at one distance, while multifocal IOLs provide focus at a range of distances. Dr. Goel can help you determine and provide information about which type of lens will best suit your needs and give treatment or procedures based on this information.

LASER CATARACT SURGERY RESULTS

After your laser cataract surgery, your surgeon will give you aftercare instructions to make sure your eyes heal safely. As your eyes begin to heal from the surgery, you may experience blurry vision, just like when you still had cataracts. This is normal, and nothing to worry about. Most people find that the blurriness fades within a few days of the surgery. You may also notice that colors seem much sharper than they did before your cataract surgery. Think about the lens of your eye like a window. With your old lens, the window was dirty, distorting objects which makes it hard to see the vibrancy of the world around you. After surgery, not only has the window been wiped clean- it’s been replaced with a brand new window. Through replacing your lens, our vision may be completely restored, and it can be shocking to see the stark contrast with how your surroundings used to appear.

In addition to having your vision restored, cataract surgery can also increase your independence. Many cataract patients have had to rely on others to help them with their daily routines because they are not able to drive, or cannot see clearly enough to accomplish other tasks. It can be frustrating to need help to do activities you used to take care of on your own. By restoring your vision with cataract surgery, you can regain your freedom and enjoy an enhanced quality of life. You’ll notice that cloudy vision is cleared up almost immediately, and a strong prescription may be lessened as soon as your cataracts are removed. Cataracts are the #1 cause of reversible blindness in the world today. There is no reason to suffer- laser cataract surgery is accurate, safe, and minimally invasive.

It can be frightening to think of someone performing surgery on your eye, but cataract surgery has been proven safe time and time again. When you come in for your first appointment at Goel Vision surgery center, our cataract surgeon will work with you to make sure you understand the procedure. During your cataract evaluation, our eye care team will explain your cataract situation to you. You’ll never be wondering what’s going to happen next in your laser cataract surgery procedure – our eye care professionals will be with you every step of the way. Our laser cataract removal surgery is minimally invasive, and recovery is fast. At our surgery center, we understand that you’ll want to get back to your improved life as soon as possible, and we’re here to help you do exactly that following your cataract surgery.

HOW CATARACTS FORM

Your natural crystalline lens is made up of water and protein. It stands behind the pupil and focuses light onto the retina, which transmits signals to the brain. Think of the retina as being the film of a camera. Cataracts occur when the proteins within the crystalline lens begin to cluster together, creating cloudy areas on the lens, which can prevent light from reaching your retina. There is nothing that can be done to prevent the clumping of these proteins. For most adults over 50, cataracts are a natural part of the aging process.

Initially, cataracts may not cause any symptoms. People only know that they have cataracts when symptoms begin to show. These protein clusters can become larger over time, gradually obscuring more and more of your vision. It can be scary to see that your vision is changing, but there’s no need to live with a visual impairment due to cataracts. Laser cataract surgery is safe, effective, and has a short recovery period.

There are different types of cataracts. When you come to our surgery center for your cataract evaluation, we’ll examine your unique cataracts to allow us to develop a personalized surgical plan. The most common types of cataracts include:
