Cataracts are a natural part of aging. At Ophthalmology Associates of San Antonio, our experienced surgeons use advanced cataract surgery techniques and lens technology to restore sharp, vibrant eyesight safely and comfortably. Whether you’re noticing cloudy vision or ready to explore a spectacle-free lifestyle, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
A cataract forms when the natural lens of your eye becomes cloudy, often as part of the aging process. This cloudiness can make your vision blurry, dim, or distorted—making everyday activities like reading, driving, or recognizing faces more difficult.
In the early stages, new glasses or brighter lighting may help, but as cataracts progress, surgery is the only way to fully restore clarity and contrast.
Cataract surgery is one of the safest and most successful procedures performed today. During the procedure, your cloudy lens is removed and replaced with a clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
Our surgeons use state-of-the-art technology to ensure precision and comfort throughout the process. The surgery typically takes less than 20 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia—you’ll return home the same day and will begin noticing clearer vision within a few days.
Before your surgery, our team performs a detailed eye evaluation and discusses surgical and lens options based on your vision needs and lifestyle. We offer a range of surgeries and intraocular lenses, from standard to premium designed to reduce dependence on eyeglasses.
After surgery, you’ll rest briefly before heading home. Most patients notice improved vision within 24 to 48 hours, with enhanced clarity as your eyes fully heal over the next few weeks.
