Cataract Surgery
Cataracts can cloud your vision and impact your quality of life, but modern cataract surgery provides a safe and effective solution. Dr. Mark Henry specializes in advanced cataract removal procedures using state-of-the-art techniques. Dr. Henry has performed over 40,000 cataract procedures in his career. During surgery, the clouded natural lens is replaced with a premium intraocular lens (IOL) to restore clarity and improve visual function. With customized IOL options, patients can address near, intermediate, and distance vision, reducing or even eliminating their dependence on glasses. Cataract surgery is a quick outpatient procedure with minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily lives with renewed vision. Dr. Henry’s expertise ensures each procedure is tailored to your unique needs.
- Cataract surgery removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens, restoring sharp and vibrant vision.
- Colors appear brighter and more vivid after cataract surgery, as the clouded lens no longer dulls the visual experience.
- Clearer vision allows patients to perform daily tasks, such as reading, driving, and cooking, without relying heavily on glasses or assistance.
- Advanced intraocular lenses (IOLs) used in cataract surgery can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, minimizing the need for corrective eyewear.
- Cataract removal reduces glare and halos around lights, enhancing safety and confidence while driving or navigating at night.
- Left untreated, cataracts can lead to significant vision loss or blindness. Surgery halts the progression and restores sight.
- Cataract surgery is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure with a fast recovery period, allowing patients to resume normal activities within days.
- Clearer vision improves overall quality of life, enabling patients to enjoy hobbies, socialize, and engage in activities that were challenging before surgery.
