How can cataracts be treated?

Surgery: The only effective treatment for cataracts is surgery. Cataract surgery involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with a plastic lens implant. The replacement lens sits in the same place as your natural lens and becomes part of your eye.

Surgically: Cataracts are a clouding of the natural lens of the eye. They are treated by surgical removal of the lens with implantation of an artificial lens that is clear.

Surgery!: The only treatment is surgery. You may be able to change your prescription in your glasses and improve your vision, but eventually you will need surgery.

Femtosecond laser: Best way to treat cataracts is with surgery: traditional phacoemulsification/ultrasound energy is used to remove a cataract. Innovative Femtosecond lasers now can help speed recovery time & likely decrease overall energy needed to remove cataract (which likely is good for long term eye health).
