What is a Cataract?

A cataract, which is a clouding of the natural lens, is a part of the aging process and virtually everyone develops a cataract as he or she ages. If the lens clouding becomes so severe that the patient cannot see to drive or perform other everyday visual tasks, then the Santa Rosa cataract surgeon may recommend surgery. During surgery the clouded natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens or intraocular lens (IOL). The most advanced lenses can help patients see both at near (reading vision) and at distance (driving vision). It is best to consult a skilled cataract surgeon to determine which type of IOL best suits the patient's needs and lifestyle.
