Refractive Cataract Surgery in Sedalia, MO

What is Refractive Cataract Surgery?

Refractive cataract surgery is an innovative treatment approach to managing cataracts. Cataracts, which are the clouding of the natural lens, often occur after the age of 40 and affect numerous people. In order to restore proper vision, the clouded lens needs to be removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (this includes the option for light-adjustable lenses). At Discover Vision: Sedalia Eye Associates, we are proud to offer this procedure. To learn how you can correct your vision with refractive cataract surgery, contact your nearest location in Sedalia or Warsaw, MO.

How Is Refractive Cataract Surgery Performed?

About 30 minutes before your procedure, we will use anesthetic eye drops to help you remain comfortable. During the procedure, we will use state-of-the-art technology to perform this minimally invasive surgery. The device used during refractive cataract surgery will map out the eye and identify the cataract so it can break up and eradicate the cataract. The natural lens will be removed, and an artificial intraocular lens will be placed. Generally, this is a very short process that only lasts about 30 minutes.
