Frequently Asked Questions

Is laser cataract surgery safe?
Yes. Laser-Assisted cataract surgery is a safe, proven technology that enhances precision and predictability.

Will I still need glasses after cataract surgery?
That depends on your lens choice. Many patients significantly reduce their dependence on glasses with premium lens options.

Does insurance cover cataract surgery?
Traditional cataract surgery is typically covered by insurance, including Medicare. Advanced laser technology and premium lenses may involve additional out-of-pocket costs, which will be discussed in detail during your consultation.

What is a Cataract?

A cataract is a cloudiness in the eye’s lens, which prevents light from passing through the eye and reaching the retina. Opacity in the eye can be minor, or extremely hindering to your vision. Cataracts are most often seen in adults over 40, but they can occur at any age and cause gradual vision loss.

Exploring Your Options: Laser or Traditional

The future of cataract surgery is here. Laser cataract surgery is designed with your comfort in mind.  Our team of surgeons are pleased to offer the highly advanced VICTUS laser cataract procedure, which is designed to complement the physician’s skills with computer-guided accuracy and offers laser precision. We use the Femtosecond laser system to create a blade-free incision in the eye to break up and remove the cataract. In traditional cataract surgery, our surgeons place a small incision in the eye and remove the cataract by a process of phacoemulsification – sound waves to disintegrate the cataract and then vacuum the particles from the eye. Similar to the process of laser surgery – the same time the cataract is removed, the lens of the eye is replaced with a clear lens implant.
