Cataracts, a condition that decreases the sharpness of our vision, due to a discolorization of the natural lens inside our eye, can be effectivly repaired with the technology available today. Not only can the lens be replaced by a synthetic one, it can now be replaced by lenses that restore the reading capability that decreases in patients over 40 years of age. We can also now implant lenses that reduce or eliminate astigmatism, giving more clarity and sharpness to our vision, at times eliminating the need for glasses. Minimal downtime and great results have become the trademarks of today's modern cataract surgery
