What Are Cataracts?

Cataracts are a common age-related condition where the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, causing vision impairment. Symptoms include:

Blurred or cloudy vision
Sensitivity to light and glare
Difficulty seeing at night
Faded or yellowed colors

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it may be time to consider treatment.

Cataract Surgery Overview

Cataract surgery is a safe, quick, and effective procedure that replaces the cloudy lens with a clear intraocular lens (IOL). Our practice uses advanced technology, including laser-assisted surgery, for precise results.

Types of Cataract Surgery

Dr. Romero offers both traditional and bladeless cataract surgery using the Femtosecond laser system. Patients with astigmatism or complex cases may benefit more from bladeless surgery.

After Cataract Surgery

Some patients may have better visual outcomes with bladeless surgery and this method is highly recommend if you have been diagnosed with astigmatism, or if the surgery may be complicated because of other underlying health reasons.

Traditional Cataract Surgery

A manual microincision allows the cloudy lens to be removed with sound waves and replaced with a synthetic clear lens

‘Bladeless’ Cataract Surgery

Uses a laser for precise incisions, reducing human error and improving outcomes

When is cataract surgery recommended?

The symptoms of early onset of cataracts may improve with a new corrective lens prescription, and by maintaining conditions of brighter light to facilitate better vision. If these interventions fail to improve vision and quality of life, we recommend scheduling an eye exam to discuss cataract surgery.

During cataract surgery, your cloudy natural lens will be removed and replaced with a synthetic clear lens, known as an intraocular lens (IOL). The procedure usually takes about 15 minutes and is typically performed on an outpatient basis.

Cost and Insurance Information

While insurance typically covers standard cataract surgery, premium IOLs are considered an out-of-pocket upgrade. We offer flexible payment options to make advanced vision correction accessible for everyone.

What to Expect After Surgery

Patients will have a follow-up appointment the day after surgery, and then another appointment one week later to check vision improvements and address any concerns.

An additional follow-up appointment will take place 4 to 6 weeks after surgery for a complete vision assessment.

How long will my results last?

The intraocular lens implanted during cataract surgery typically lasts a lifetime. However, about 30% of patients may develop Posterior Capsule Opacity (PCO), where the capsule holding the IOL becomes cloudy, affecting vision.

When this occurs, a quick YAG Capsulotomy laser treatment removes the cloudy membrane, restoring clear vision.

This minor procedure takes only 2–3 minutes and is covered by most major insurance plans.
