Cataract Surgery
Advanced cataract surgery with modern IOL options.
What is Cataract Surgery?
Cataract surgery involves gently removing the clouding of the natural crystalline lens of the eye and replacing it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Using advanced Phacoemulsification ultrasound technology, this day-care procedure restores vivid colors and sharp clarity.
