Who Needs Cataract Surgery?
Cataracts are a natural part of aging and can cause cloudy, blurry, or dim vision. If you’re struggling to read, drive, or enjoy life because of cataracts, surgery can restore your clarity and independence.
"It was honestly easier than getting my teeth cleaned at the dentist, and I can see great."
"Everyone seemed like they enjoyed their job. I had friends who had great things to say about Dr. Chu. He seemed so knowledgeable, and he was as excited as I was about my new vision. He takes great satisfaction in helping people change their lives. It was honestly easier than getting my teeth cleaned at the dentist, and I can see great."
Brad • Cataract Patient
How It Works
- Advanced laser or ultrasound gently removes the cloudy lens
- A clear, artificial intraocular lens is placed to restore focus
- Options include multifocal and Light Adjustable Lenses for personalized results
- Total procedure time: about 15–20 minutes per eye
