Take the Cataract Self-Test to find out if cataract surgery is right for you.
Cataracts occur when the natural lens of the eye becomes clouded. It is often a result of the natural aging process, as proteins on the lens slowly break down and form clumps, making it harder to see.

Cataract surgery at Nova Eye Experts can restore clear sight and give you the independence to do all your favorite things again without worrying about cataracts clouding your vision. It’s a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that takes about 10-15 minutes.
Your cataract surgeon will begin by numbing the surface of your eye with anesthetic eye drops. Then, they will make a small incision in your cornea, break up the cataract-affected lens, and replace it with a clear intraocular lens (IOL) of your choice.
Once you have healed from the procedure, you can expect to see much clearer than you did with cataracts, as your IOL will be completely cataract-free
