Basic Cataract Surgery

When considering cataract surgery in South Florida, See Vision Eye Institute in Wellington offers unparalleled expertise. Under the leadership of Jason Gorscak, MD, a distinguished ophthalmologist, we deliver basic cataract surgery tailored to how you want to see.

Understanding Cataracts

Cataracts are a prevalent age-related condition where the eye’s natural lens becomes progressively clouded, leading to deteriorating vision. Common symptoms include the following:

Blurred Vision
Difficulty Seeing at Night
Sensitivity to Glare
Halos Around Lights
Faded Color Perception
Double Vision

If you are experiencing these symptoms, a consultation with a qualified ophthalmologist like Jason Gorscak, MD, will help determine the most appropriate solution. It may be time to consider cataract surgery to restore your vision.

An Effective Approach to Cataract Surgery

At See Vision Eye Institute, our cataract surgery involves precisely removing the clouded natural lens and replacing it with a standard monofocal intraocular lens (IOL). This procedure is designed to restore clear distance vision. While this approach does not correct refractive errors such as astigmatism or provide multifocal capabilities, it significantly enhances visual clarity.

Key Benefits of Basic Cataract Surgery

Restored Visual Clarity: Achieve sharper and clearer vision by replacing the clouded lens.
Quick Recovery: Most patients return to normal activities within a few days.
Proven Effectiveness: Basic cataract surgery is a widely performed and highly effective procedure.
Cost-Effective: As our most affordable cataract surgery option, the monofocal IOL offers excellent value for essential vision correction.

The Basic Cataract Surgery Procedure

Step 1: Comprehensive Eye Examination

Your journey begins with an in-depth eye examination to assess your eye health and identify the best surgical approach.

Step 2: Personalized Consultation

Dr. Gorscak will discuss your vision objectives and outline the benefits and limitations of basic cataract surgery, helping you decide if a monofocal IOL is the ideal choice for your goals.

Step 3: The Surgery

The minimally invasive procedure, performed under local anesthesia, involves removing the clouded lens through a small incision and implanting the monofocal IOL. The entire surgery typically takes less than 30 minutes per eye.

Step 4: Post-Surgery Care

After surgery, you’ll receive detailed instructions for post-operative care. Most patients experience significant vision improvement within a few days. Follow-up appointments will monitor your recovery.
