If you are finding it more and more difficult to see things that are close to you the older you get, you are definitely not alone. This condition is very common, and it is called presbyopia. People sometimes assume that you simply have to live with it because it is one of the eventualities of aging. In fact, this is not the case at all. Cataract surgery can change everything, and we will explain the details in this blog post.
Clouded Lenses
To understand the value of the cataract surgery Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Boca Raton area residents can obtain from our center, you have to learn a few things about the anatomy of the eye. There are natural lenses that are positioned directly behind the irises. They are composed of flexible, transparent tissue, and they are responsible for the majority of the focusing power of your eyes.
As time passes, cataracts can form on these natural lenses. They cloud them, and it becomes hard to focus on things that are close to your eyes. This is the root cause of the farsightedness or presbyopia that many middle-aged people experience.
Laser Cataract Surgery
Now that you understand the root cause of the poor vision, you can easily understand the value of laser cataract surgery. If you decide to undergo the procedure, our cataract surgeon, Dr. Shatz, will carefully remove the clouded natural lens. In its place a brand-new, crystal clear prescription lens will be implanted. You will then be able to see things that are close to you once again with perfect clarity. Plus, if you wear glasses or contacts because you were nearsighted before the presbyopia appeared, a multifocal lens could be used to provide 20/20 vision at all distances.
Fast, Pain-Free, and Affordable
Laser cataract surgery only takes about 15 minutes on one eye, and you can leave the facility about a half-hour after the procedure has been completed. There is no pain involved, and people are usually pleasantly surprised when you find out about the affordability of the surgery. Plus, if you would like to pay over time, we offer easy financing options through CareCredit.
