What are the Treatment Options?

Surgery is the most common treatment to remove the cloudy eye lens and replace it with an artificial lens. This is usually done as an outpatient procedure, meaning you can go home the same day.

The benefits of cataract surgery include:

  • Improved vision

  • Clearer or brighter colors

  • Less glare or halos around lights

  • Better quality of life

  • Reduced risk of falls and other accidents

  • Easier daily activities such as driving, reading, and working

A new eyeglass prescription may temporarily improve vision, but there are no medications, eye drops, or non-surgical treatments that can cure or reverse cataracts. Regular eye exams and consultation with an eye specialist (ophthalmologist) are important to determine the best treatment for your needs.

If you think you may have cataracts, Dr. Chen can provide an assessment.
