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.
Where is Cataract Surgery Performed?
Dr. Mihlstin operates at MyMichigan Medical Center Towne Centre Surgery Center. This is a state of the art facility not far from our office.
Address: 4599 Towne Centre Road, Saginaw, MI 48604
