Understanding Cataracts

A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, resulting in blurred vision, glare sensitivity, and difficulty seeing in low-light conditions. Cataracts commonly develop with age but can also be caused by injury, certain medications, or medical conditions like diabetes.

Symptoms and Diagnosis

Signs you might have a cataract include:

  • Blurry or cloudy vision
  • Poor night vision or glare from lights
  • Colors appear faded or yellowed
  • Frequent changes in glasses or contact prescriptions

A comprehensive eye exam including dilation is necessary to diagnose cataracts and assess their impact on vision.

Treatment Options for Cataracts

When cataracts interfere with daily activities, surgery is the only effective treatment. The procedure involves removing the cloudy natural lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens called an intraocular lens (IOL). Our Las Vegas surgeons specialize in advanced cataract extraction with multiple premium IOL options to suit your vision goals.

Premium Lens Options (IOLs)

  • Monofocal IOLs: Focus at a single distance, usually far vision; reading glasses may still be needed.
  • Multifocal and Extended Depth of Focus IOLs: Designed to provide clear vision at multiple distances.
  • Toric IOLs: Correct astigmatism for sharper vision.

Our experts will help you select the ideal lens for your lifestyle.

The Cataract Surgery Process

  1. Pre-operative assessment and measurements.
  2. Small incision made in the eye.
  3. Ultrasound breaks up the cataract.
  4. Removal of lens fragments via gentle suction.
  5. Insertion of the artificial lens.
  6. Closing the incision (usually self-sealing).

The surgery is typically outpatient, lasting 15-30 minutes per eye.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgery, patients may experience mild discomfort or blurred vision that improves rapidly. Eye drops help prevent infection and inflammation. Most patients resume normal activities within days while achieving clearer vision in weeks.

Cataract Surgery Cost and Insurance

The cost for cataract surgery in Las Vegas can range from $3,500 to $6,000 per eye depending on the lenses chosen and technology. Many insurance plans cover standard cataract surgery; premium lens upgrades may incur additional costs. Our staff will assist with verifying your coverage.
