with precision lens technology.
Understanding Cataracts
A cataract occurs when the eye’s natural lens becomes clouded, making it difficult to see clearly. This condition develops gradually and can cause:
- Blurred or hazy vision
- Sensitivity to bright light or glare
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Faded or yellowed colors
- Double vision or a “film” over your eyes
- Frequent prescription changes
If left untreated, cataracts can interfere with daily life—and in some cases, may contribute to increased eye pressure or secondary glaucoma. Our fellowship-trained ophthalmic surgeons at Eye Physicians & Surgeons of Arizona specialize in safe, effective cataract removal to restore clear, comfortable vision.
How Cataract Surgery Works
Cataract surgery is one of the most common—and safest—procedures performed in the U.S. During surgery, the clouded natural lens is gently removed and replaced with a clear, high-performance intraocular lens (IOL) that restores your vision.
- Outpatient procedure completed in 10–15 minutes
- Virtually painless with minimal downtime
- Most patients notice improved vision within the first week
- Each eye is treated separately, typically 2-3 weeks apart
“Our goal is to deliver clear, comfortable vision with minimal disruption to your daily life.”
—Dr. Patel
We offer a range of advanced intraocular lenses to match your lifestyle and vision needs:
Your surgeon will help you select the right lens based on your visual goals and daily activities.
Recovery and Long-Term Results
Most patients experience improved vision within a day or two. You’ll return home the same day, with mild light sensitivity or watering that resolves quickly.
- Resume normal activities within a few days
- Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity for one week
- Follow-up visits ensure healing and stable vision
With today’s advanced techniques, cataract surgery success rates exceed 98%.
Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery for Greater Precision
While traditional cataract surgery remains highly effective, laser-assisted technology allows for enhanced precision and personalization. Using advanced femtosecond laser guidance, our surgeons can:
- Create ultra-precise incisions customized to your eye
- Correct mild astigmatism during the same procedure
- Reduce certain risks and speed up recovery
- Safely treat hard or mature cataracts
Both laser and traditional techniques are safe and proven. Your surgeon will discuss which approach best fits your vision goals.
