Headaches, eye fatigue, burning, and watering of the eyes when exposed to bright light are also some other symptoms attributed to cataracts. The Eye Center Group specializes in new and innovative surgical techniques to keep your vision clear and bright. If you suspect a cataract, call one of our offices or your family optometrist to schedule an eye examination. Treatment consists of the surgical removal of the cataract. For most cataract patients, the intraocular lens implant literally replaces the natural lens in its position behind the pupil of the eye.
Cataract surgery is safe, fast, and painless.
The surgery is usually performed under topical anesthesia on an outpatient basis at our Muncie and Richmond Surgery Centers. During the surgery the clouded lens, or cataract, is removed by a procedure called phacoemulsification, in which the cataract is broken up by sound waves. With advancements in surgery, modern day cataract surgery eliminates the need for stitches, patches over the eye, hospital visits, and post-operative restrictions. Your lifestyle will seem clearer and can be resumed immediately.
