  • What is the fastest way to cure cataracts?

    The only cure for cataracts is to remove them and replace them with a permanent lens implant. The implants last a lifetime and can correct your vision so you will never need surgery in the future! Also, the earlier you have the procedure, the easier the recovery, and the more years you get to enjoy the new vision! READ MORE

  • How long does cataract surgery take for one eye?

    Cataract surgery can take less than 10 minutes for one eye, and is painless. Laser cataract surgery may take a couple minutes longer but is more precise and can treat astigmatism, providing a better result than older, ultrasound-based surgery. READ MORE

  • Issues after cataract surgery in one eye?

    Any time there is pain, redness, and/or decreased vision after eye surgery – especially after things were healing well – it is advisable to see your eye doctor right away. Depending on what he/she finds, there may be other necessary treatments to be performed on that eye. Regardless, it is always a good idea not to proceed with a second eye’s surgery until after the first one is healing properly. Andrew C. Shatz, M.D. READ MORE
