Frequently Asked Questions

Common symptoms include blurry or dim vision, increased sensitivity to glare, difficulty seeing at night, fading or yellowing of colors, and needing brighter light for reading. Cataracts develop gradually, so changes may be subtle at first. If you notice any of these signs, schedule a comprehensive eye exam.

The procedure itself typically takes 10 to 20 minutes per eye. You should plan to be at our surgical center for about 2 to 3 hours total, which includes pre-operative preparation and a brief recovery period before you go home.

Yes, cataract surgery is typically covered by Medicare and most private insurance plans when deemed medically necessary. Standard monofocal lens implants are usually covered. Premium IOLs (multifocal, toric) may involve additional out-of-pocket costs. Our team will walk you through your coverage and financing options.

Most patients notice improved vision within a few days. Full healing typically takes 4 to 6 weeks. You should avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and rubbing your eyes during recovery. Your surgeon will provide a detailed post-operative care plan and schedule follow-up visits.

The best IOL depends on your medical history, eye health, and lifestyle. Monofocal lenses correct vision at a single distance. Multifocal and extended-depth lenses reduce dependence on glasses. Toric lenses correct astigmatism. During your consultation, we will recommend the option that best fits your needs.

You will need someone to drive you home after surgery. Most patients can resume driving within 24 to 48 hours, once your surgeon confirms your vision meets the legal requirement. Avoid driving at night until your eyes have fully adjusted.
