A Plan For Clearer Vision. You Now Have Options.
Cataracts are extremely common and a natural part of aging. Cataracts occur when the lens in your eye becomes cloudy and discolored. The result is bothersome changes in vision.
The good news is that cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed and safest procedures in the U.S.
Clear Vision, Felxible Payment Options
When cataracts interfere with the performance or enjoyment of usual activities, cataract surgery can restore clear vision. In addition, modern advanced lens options can often reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contacts after cataract surgery.
Many of the costs of cataract surgery are covered by medical insurance. We accept a wide variety of insurance plans and are proud to offer several payment options, as well as interest-free financing options through CareCredit.

Blurry Vision
One of the most common symptoms of cataracts is a lack of sharpness to vision. Vision is often described as blurry, cloudy, hazy, or filmy.
Trouble Seeing At Night Or In Dim Lighting
Difficulty seeing clearly at night or in dim lighting is a very common symptom of developing cataracts.
Halos And Glare
Cataracts frequently cause people to avoid or stop driving at night due to glare or bothersome halos or starbursts around oncoming lights.
Increased Light Sensitivity
Worsening cataracts can cause increased sensitivity to sunlight or other bright lights.
