Dear Patient

Congratulations, you have decided to seek to improve your vision through cataract extraction. It is my goal to educate you about the options in intraocular lens technology and thereby help you understand what to expect of your vision after your cataract is removed. When cataract surgeryis performed, the cataract (or clouded lens of the eye) is removed and a crystal-clear intraocularlens implant is inserted into the eye to help focus sight clearly after surgery. The use of intraocularlenses has been widely used for over forty years and today nearly 100% of all cataract surgeries are performed with intraocular lenses.
