Understanding Cataracts

Cataracts are a common age-related condition that occurs when the normally clear lens of your eye becomes cloudy. Imagine looking through a fogged-up window; that’s similar to how cataracts affect your vision. While they may develop gradually, cataracts can significantly impact your daily life if left untreated. The good news is that cataract surgery is a highly successful procedure that can restore your vision to its former clarity.

The Cataract Diagnosis Process

We use a comprehensive suite of eye examination tests, including a visual acuity test, a detailed slit-lamp examination, and a retinal exam, which allows us to assess eye health and diagnose your cataracts. We’ll also take time to discuss your symptoms and medical history, ensuring that we fully understand how cataracts are affecting your daily life and vision.

When to Consider Cataract Surgery

When cataracts begin to interfere with your daily activities, hobbies, or overall quality of life, it’s an opportunity to explore the transformative benefits of cataract surgery. Whether you’re struggling with night driving, or finding it challenging to read your favorite books, Dr. Neatrour can help you determine when it’s the perfect time to restore your vision and rediscover life’s beautiful, vivid details.

The Cataract Surgery Procedure

We prioritize your comfort and peace of mind throughout your cataract surgery. With Dr. Neatrour’s soothing verbal anesthesia technique, you can feel relaxed and at ease as he walks you through every step. Here’s what to expect:

Preparation for Cataract Surgery in Virginia Beach VA

1. Preparation

To ensure your comfort, your eye will be numbed with anesthetic drops. A mild sedative may be given to help you relax if you’re anxious.

2. Creating An Opening

A small, precise incision is made in the cornea, allowing easy access to the cloudy lens.

3. Breaking Up Your Cataract

Using advanced ultrasound technology, the cloudy lens is skillfully broken into tiny pieces, making it easier to remove.
