About Cataract Surgery
A cataract is your own natural lens in the eye becoming cloudy (generally due to increasing wisdom and maturity!). To improve your vision, your doctor can remove the cataract and insert a new, clear, plastic lens in its place which lasts for the rest of your life.
The good news is cataracts don’t return and this new lens implant can be targeted for your visual needs; this can be a once-in-a-lifetime investment in your eyes to improve your quality of life for the long term, for life expectancy at age 65 in Utah is 20 years. Doctor Ambati will discuss your lifestyle/hobbies/activities/work, examine your eye, review your eye’s measurements (e.g., scans of the cornea and retina) and make a recommendation as to what lens would best be suited for you. We believe in personalized eye care and customizing the surgical plan for each individual.
Dr. Ambati has access to both the LensX and the Intralase femtosecond lasers for use in treating patients with cataracts interested in laser cataract surgery. Both devices can precisely correct astigmatism at time of cataract surgery.
Premium Lenses
We offer premium Intra-Ocular Lenses that can help reduce or eliminate your dependency on glasses and contacts.
The design of the accommodative lens allows certain eye muscles to move the IOL forward and backward, changing the focus much as it would with a natural lens, allowing near and distance vision. The ability to read and perform other tasks without glasses varies from person to person but is generally best when multifocal or accommodative IOLs are placed in both eyes.
Available Premium IOLs:
Dr. Ambati will evaluate your eyes and discuss with you your activities, goals, and visual needs to reach a decision with you on what the best lens choice for your eyes is.
