Over three million cataract procedures are performed each year in the United States, making cataract surgery the most commonly performed surgery in our Medicare population in Columbus Ohio. Cataracts are a natural part of the aging process. You will develop a cataract if you live long enough, though cataracts can occur at birth or at any age. A cataract is a cloudy area that develops on the lens of the eye, blocking light to the back of the eye, resulting in changes in one’s vision. These changes can include cloudy, fuzzy or filmy vision, changes in the way you see colors, increased glare from headlights, lamps or the sun, frequent changes in your eyeglass prescription, and double vision.

Effects of Cataract Surgery - Before and After

Annual eye examinations are important to your overall eye health and also play a vital role in detecting the presence of cataracts. Initially, early cataracts can be treated with stronger spectacles to improve your vision. However, this improvement may be temporary if the cataract progresses with time.

Cataracts can be removed with a brief, outpatient procedure once the loss of vision adversely affects your activities. The opacified crystalline lens of the eye (cataract) is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens. As a secondary benefit of this surgery, some of our patients are also able to reduce or eliminate their dependence on corrective lenses.
