Cataracts
Cataract Surgery and Vision Correction in Atlanta, Georgia
A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens, reducing the sharpness of the image on the retina, making things appear fuzzy. Cataracts are part of the natural aging process of the eye and are the leading cause of visual loss for people 55 or older, but eye injuries and certain diseases, such as diabetes and alcoholism can also cause cataracts.
Treatment for a cataract consists of replacing the clouded lens with a sterile acrylic or silicone lens. These lenses can also correct your myopia and hyperopia.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is a fast, safe and painless procedure that is done with such precision and with such tiny incisions, that usually no stitches are required and recovery time is minimal.
