Cataract surgery technology has substantially improved over the last few decades.One of the more recent and groundbreaking advancements allows procedures to be customized around the patient's eyes and vision goals.

One of the most performed and successful surgeries in America, more than 3 million cataract surgeries take place each year, with an impressive 98% success rate. The ability to customize surgery has only added to the reliability and benefits of the procedure.

Generally cataracts are removed through a small incision made on the eye. An intraocular lens (IOL) is placed in the eye to assist vision. The IOL is one of the customizable parts of the surgery. In many cases certain IOL’s can reduce or remove the need for glasses or contact lenses after surgery, providing the patient clear eyesight.
