A cataract is when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, blocking light and making vision blurry, like looking through a foggy window.

If untreated, it can lead to complete vision loss. Cataract surgery is a safe and effective solution with a 98% success rate for improved vision. Cataracts are a common issue for many Americans, especially those over fifty, and new advancements in cataract surgery are continually emerging. The latest development is laser technology, which offers a bladeless procedure and uses a detailed eye map for better accuracy.
