What is a Cataract?

Cataracts develop when the natural lens inside the eye becomes cloudy. As a result, your vision may appear blurred, dim, or yellowed. Although cataracts are common with age, they can interfere with everyday activities like reading, driving, and enjoying hobbies.

Do I Need Cataract Surgery?

Not all cataracts require immediate treatment. However, surgery becomes necessary when vision loss starts to limit daily life. For example, you may notice:

  • Blurry or cloudy vision
  • Glare and halos while driving at night
  • Faded or yellowed colors
  • Needing brighter light to read
  • Trouble with hobbies, work, or driving

If you experience these symptoms, it may be time to schedule a cataract evaluation.

How is Cataract Surgery Performed?

Cataract surgery is safe, fast, and effective.

First, Dr. Mihlstin creates a tiny incision in the eye. Then, she removes the cloudy lens. Finally, she replaces it with a clear IOL that restores your vision.

The entire procedure usually takes 10–15 minutes per eye. Most patients go home the same day and notice improvement within 24–48 hours.
