Cataracts are a common eye condition that can make your vision cloudy or blurry. It happens when the lens in your eye, which is normally transparent, becomes more cloudy. This can make it challenging to see things clearly, especially when there's bright light or at night. Cataracts are very common and can affect your quality of life, but cataract surgery can restore your vision and allow you to experience the world with clarity and sharpness once again.
Only an eye doctor can diagnose whether you have a cataract or another type of vision problem. If you have any of the symptoms below, you should have your eyes checked by a specialist.
Common signs of a cataract include the following:

During cataract surgery, your cataract surgeon will remove your natural lens and replace it with an artificial lens, known as an intraocular lens or IOL, to allow you to see clearly once again. There are many IOL options to choose from based on your budget, vision goals and lifestyle. OMNI Eye Specialists offers several types of lenses, each designed for a specific corrective function.
The AcrySof™ IQ Vivity™ lens is the latest EDOF IOL (implant) that provides excellent distance and intermediate vision, while minimizing halos and glare. This exceptional lens is also available in a EDOF Toric version and is considered one of the most advanced EDOF intraocular lenses available in the world.
Designed to give patients the best distance and near vision with less dependence on glasses after surgery. OMNI Eye Specialists uses the AcrySof® IQ PanOptix® Trifocal Lens, which is the first and only trifocal lens available in the United States. The AcrySof® IQ PanOptix® provides an extended depth of focus, producing enhanced near and intermediate vision to reverse the effects of presbyopia. The PanOptix Lens enhances quality as well as range, so your vision will be as sharp and vivid as it is complete. We will discuss your day, night and reading vision expectations following surgery.
An astigmatism correcting implant which addresses corneal astigmatism so that distance vision is completely corrected after cataract surgery without glasses. With a traditional implant in patients who have astigmatism, glasses are still necessary to see at all distances. This lens is only necessary for individuals with a high level of astigmatism.
The single-focus lens is inexpensive and effective in clearing vision. If you receive a single-focus lens, the focus will be set for distance and you will regain your ability to see objects that are far away. After surgery, patients will likely need to wear corrective lenses, especially for activities like reading and driving.
