Cataract surgery involves removing your cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).

Surgical options exist to improve your vision either with or without glasses. An important question to ask yourself is, “How dependent on glasses do I want to be after surgery?” While the final IOL healing position cannot be guaranteed, your doctor will select a lens that will help you achieve your vision goals.

Our goal at Moyes Eye Center is to provide an excellent cataract surgery experience regardless of which surgical option you choose.
