We know deciding on the best way to handle cataracts isn't always clear at first. That's why when it comes to correcting your cataracts, it's important to know your lens and surgery options. Rochester Eye & Laser Center can help you decide which treatment path is right for you. We encourage you to schedule time to talk with us and share your questions and concerns.

When you choose to correct your cataracts, you can also choose to correct your astigmatism with an advanced technology lens. With clearer, sharper distance vision after cataract surgery, you may even reduce your dependency on glasses and enjoy more activities, like driving, with clearer vision.

In one procedure, the cloudy lens in your eye is replaced with a new artificial lens, known as an intraocular lens (IOL) that is also designed to correct astigmatism.

Cataracts can't be prevented, but they can be treated with surgery and it's one of the safest surgeries performed. Understanding cataracts and your surgical options are the first steps in feeling more confident about surgery.
