What Are Cataracts?
Cataracts are a gradual clouding of the eye’s natural lens that can make vision blurry, dim, faded, or more sensitive to glare. As cataracts progress, everyday activities like reading, driving at night, and recognizing faces can become more difficult. Cataracts are most often age-related, though UV exposure, smoking, certain health conditions, and eye trauma can contribute. At Clay Eye, we evaluate cataracts carefully and recommend surgery only when the clouding is affecting your vision, quality of life, or safety.

What is Laser Cataract Surgery?
Cataract surgery removes the cloudy natural lens and replaces it with a clear intraocular lens chosen for your vision needs. At Clay Eye, your surgeon will evaluate how cataracts are affecting your vision, discuss whether laser or traditional cataract surgery is the best option for you, and review the lens choices that fit your lifestyle and goals.
Laser Cataract Surgery uses advanced technology to assist with key steps of the procedure and may provide added precision in certain cases. Traditional cataract surgery remains a highly effective, well-established option as well. Most cataract surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure, and many patients notice clearer vision shortly after surgery. During your consultation, your Clay Eye ophthalmologist will recommend the safest and most appropriate surgical approach for your eye health and vision goals.
