Cataracts are a result of the natural lens inside the eye becoming cloudy, brown, or yellow. The human lens becomes so clouded it keeps light and images from reaching the retina. This causes vision to become blurry or dark and colors to become dull or muted.

Cataract Surgery
Fortunately Cataract Surgery is one of the safest and most successful procedures performed today.
For patients, cataract surgery is generally a simple, outpatient procedure with little discomfort, only requires a few hours, and topical anesthetic. Most patients typically return home the very same day as cataract surgery. Eye drops may be prescribed to guard against infection and help your eye heal. Everyone heals differently, but most patients see well enough to return to most of their routine activities within a few days of recovery.
In many cases Cataract Surgery is covered by Medicare and Health Insurance. Financing is also available.
Please contact Howerton Eye Clinic to see Cataract Surgery can improve your life. 512-443-9715.
