"A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear, transparent lens of the eye. A cataract is not a tumour or growth of new tissue over or in the eye. Rather it is a fogging or loss of clarity of the lens itself. The lens is located in the eye just behind the iris and the pupil. Cataract is usually related to the aging process. Almost 50% of the people develop a cataract by the age of 55-60 years. If left untreated, cataracts can eventually lead to blindness. If impaired vision interferes with your usual activities, you might need cataract surgery. The only permanent correction for cataracts is to undergo cataract surgery. Cataract surgery has progressed to a point where it is one of the safest of all medical procedures. It involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a clear lens. Fortunately, these days with highly advanced technology, cataract surgery is generally an extremely safe and effective procedure with excellent visual recovery. We offer the most advanced procedures for cataract surgery with multiple lens options including the advanced multifocal, toric and accommodative Intra Ocular Lenses. The procedure is virtually painless and comfortable for the patient. Modern cataract surgery only takes a few minutes to perform. Your vision usually returns to the way it was before cataracts by the next day. Prior to your procedure, we will help you decide which IOL (Intra Ocular Lens) will work best for you. In years past, there was little choice as to what IOL to use in cataract surgery. Older IOL models are referred to as “monofocal IOLs” and focus vision at a single distance; if a patient chooses a monofocal IOL to correct for far distance vision, reading glasses are required after surgery to focus up close. Recent technological advances have resulted in “Premium IOLs” that have advantages over monofocal IOLs. Premium IOLs include multifocal and accommodating IOLs, which help focus vision for both far distance and up close, resulting in less dependence on glasses after cataract surgery. Toric IOLs help correct astigmatism, again resulting in less dependence on glasses after cataract surgery. During your eye exam, Dr. Khatib can let you know if you are a candidate for one of these exciting Premium IOLs."
