Cataracts

A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens inside the eye, which can lead to blurry vision, seeing halos around lights, poor night vision, and light sensitivity. The lens of the eye works like a camera lens, focusing light on the retina to create clear images. As cataracts form, the lens becomes cloudy, making it harder for light to pass through. Cataracts often develop gradually and are a natural part of the aging process. At The Eye Doctors P.C., our optometrists provide comprehensive care for patients with cataracts, from early diagnosis to post-surgery management. 

Cataract treatment in Sioux Falls 

Cataracts typically progress slowly, and early symptoms may be mild. In the early stages, changes in your eyeglass or contact lens prescription may help improve your vision. However, once cataracts interfere with your ability to perform daily tasks, cataract surgery is often the best solution. Cataract surgery is a safe, effective procedure that involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with a clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL). 

If cataract surgery is needed, our team will refer you to a trusted ophthalmologist in the area and ensure you receive coordinated care before, during, and after the procedure. Recovery is generally quick, but we’ll assist you throughout the healing process. Full recovery from cataract surgery typically takes a few weeks, during which we’ll schedule follow-up visits to ensure your eye is healing and your vision is improving as expected.
