Very pleased with my experience at ICON Eyecare for my cataract surgeries. Highly recommend them.
I checked around before I picked ICON to do my cataract surgery. Everyone went above and beyond and helped me feel comfortable.
Approximately half of all Americans age 75 and older have suffered from cataracts.
A cataract is a progressive medical condition that causes the natural lens in your eye to become increasingly cloudy, impairing your vision. Just as the lenses in a pair of glasses can get smudged or pick up fingerprints, the lens in our eye becomes cloudy as we get older, suffer serious eye injury, or have certain medical conditions.
Because cataracts develop slowly, it’s possible to live with the condition for years before its symptoms start to noticeably compromise your vision. One of the most common symptoms of cataracts is blurred or cloudy vision and difficulty seeing at night. Our Cataract Self-Test can help determine if you’ve been living with cataracts and if it might be time to visit your eye doctor for a complete eye exam.

A cataract is a cloudy area in the lens of your eye. As we age, the proteins that make up the lenses of our eyes break down and form clusters, which causes our natural lens to become cloudy and hazy over time.
Modern medicine is not yet able to reverse or prevent cataract development. Once cataracts are present, the only way to regain clear vision is to undergo cataract surgery.
As cataracts progress, contacts and glasses are unable to fully compensate for the problem, and cataract removal is necessary to replace the natural lens of the eye and correct vision. During the surgical procedure, the cloudy lens is replaced with an artificial lens called intraocular lenses.
Most cataract surgeries use a process called phacoemulsification, which allows your surgeon to remove the cataract through a microscopic incision. Phacoemulsification cataract surgery removes the need for stitches or patches after the procedures.
The recovery period from cataract eye surgery typically takes about four weeks. Immediately after your surgery, your vision will be blurry as a result of your eye adjusting to the replacement lens. During the first several days of the recovery process, you will be asked to wear a protective shield at night to prevent you from rubbing your eyes in your sleep.
As your eyes are healing, you should avoid lifting heavy objects and bending over at the waist. Hold off on driving until you get your doctor’s permission to do so. If you experience severe pain or don’t believe your recovery is progressing on schedule, contact your eye care specialist immediately.
Cataract surgery is not painful. Cataract patients typically experience a little eye pressure during the procedure, but eye drops are given to numb the eye prior.
There are several treatment options available with cataract surgery. With standard IOL, vision is clear but you may still need reading glasses or contact lenses as were needed before cataracts. Premium intraocular lenses greatly reduce or eliminate the need for corrective eyewear. Consult with your eye doctor on your vision goals to find the best fit for you.
The timing of cataract surgery depends on the patient. If vision loss from cataracts is negatively affecting your daily activities, it might be time to consider cataract surgery.
