Cataracts used to require lengthy surgery and hospitalization, but now it is an outpatient procedure that usually takes less than 20 minutes. In addition, patients used to wear glasses after cataract surgery. However, with new advances in technology, patients can choose premium intraocular lenses that allow them to live glasses-free for most activities after surgery! See our Patient Education section for more information on this exciting opportunity. The premium intraocular lens implants now available include the Restor, Rezoom, and Crystalens.
