MiVision Ophthalmology is proud to care for patients around Houghton Lake, including Prudenville and Houghton Lake Heights. Our practice offers modern cataract surgery with a personal touch rooted in Michigan expertise.

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.

Your Cataract Treatment Experience

We start with comprehensive diagnostic testing to customize your lens choice. Options include monofocal, toric, and multifocal implants to match your visual needs.

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.
