Whereas cataracts are the leading cause of visual loss in adults 55 and over, cataract surgery is one of the safest and most effective surgical procedures. In fact, millions of cataract surgeries are performed each year in the United States. Cataract surgery entails making a tiny incision (phacomulsification) in the eye and inserting an instrument about the size of a pen tip to break up and remove the cloudy natural crystalline lens in your eye. Once the natural lens of your eye is removed, a replacement lens known as an intraocular lens (IOL) is inserted through the same tiny incision.
The surgeons at Talamo Hatch Laser Eye Consultants perform both traditional monofocal lens implantation and/or premium lens implantation, following phacomulsification (small incision) cataract surgery. This process normally takes 20 minutes or less and patients can resume normal activities the following day after surgery is performed. Most patients have improved vision soon after surgery, but your sight may continue to improve for several days or weeks.
