Cataract surgery is the process by which the cloudy natural lens is removed and then replaced with a synthetic lens. This is a very delicate surgical procedure, requiring high-level surgical skills, technology, and technique. At Y.E.S. in Weston, we are known as one of the premier eye clinics in Florida, offering the most advanced systems for cataract surgery in Weston, FL.
During the procedure, our eye specialist will create a small incision through which the damaged lens can be accessed. It is held in place in a tiny capsule structure behind the colored part of your eye (iris). Once the damaged lens is accessed, it is broken apart with the laser and extracted. A synthetic lens is then placed within the capsule and the incision gently closed.
Synthetic lenses, or IOLs (interocular lenses) are available in high-tech versions that do more than restore the bright colors and clear vision. Multifocal lenses are available that provide sharp eyesight both near and far.
