Cataract surgery is a common yet transformative procedure in which Dr. Manusia removes the cloudy natural lens and replaces it with a clear artificial one. Using advanced surgical techniques, she provides patients with improved vision and a higher quality of life, restoring their ability to see clearly and comfortably in various lighting conditions. Cataracts, once removed, do not recur.
Who is Cataract Surgery for?
Cataract surgery is recommended for individuals experiencing blurry vision, glare, or difficulty with tasks like reading or driving due to cataracts. It’s ideal for patients who want to regain independence and quality of life by eliminating visual limitations.
What to Expect
The process begins with a thorough eye examination to assess the extent of cataract development. Dr. Manusis then guides an intraocular lens selection process to improve vision and reduce dependence on glasses. Intraocular lens selection depends on the overall health of the eye as well as the patient's needs.
Then, the surgery is performed in the ambulatory surgery setting, usually taking about 15-30 minutes with light sedation. Patients can expect a smooth recovery with minimal downtime or discomfort.
