  • Our eye works a lot like a camera. In order for us to see clearly, the light has to be focused by a lens. We are all born with a lens inside our eye that does this job for us and in early life it is crystal clear. As we age, this lens can become cloudy and begin to block light or create blur. We call this change in the lens a “cataract”.

                                   
    Often seeing a local Ophthalmologists or Optometrist in conjunction with your family physician or a registered dietician is a great option to dealing with eye conditions and symptoms. Typically your vision will be somewhat blurry the day of the procedure, with return of clear vision over days or weeks. Complications of cataract surgery are fortunately very rare. Serious complications like infection or retinal detachment will occur in less than 1% of patients. Both are treatable if caught early and this is why keeping post operative appointments is important. Less serious complications such as
    swelling, a need to go back to surgery for minor adjustment or replacement of a lens, bothersome light or shadow effects can occur, but are manageable problems with existing solutions. Satisfaction rates after cataract surgery are high. It is usually a procedure that makes a positive change to your vision and your life. If you would like more information about cataracts, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your local optician or ophthalmologist. Dr. Greg Moloney, MBBS, BSC MED, MMED, FRCSC, Ophthalmologist, explains what Refractive Cataract Surgery is and how it can eliminate cataracts and the need for glasses.
