About Cataracts

At Shiloh Eye Care, we understand that cataracts can have a significant impact on your daily life. A cataract occurs when the clear lens of your eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision, difficulty seeing at night, and sensitivity to bright lights. Cataracts develop gradually, often due to aging, but can also result from injury, diabetes, or prolonged exposure to sunlight.

As cataracts progress, they can interfere with your ability to perform everyday tasks like reading, driving, or recognizing faces.

While early stages may only cause slight vision changes, untreated cataracts will eventually impair vision to the point where daily activities become challenging.

At Shiloh Eye Care, we specialize in cataract diagnosis and treatment, offering solutions to restore your vision and improve your quality of life. Our experienced team conducts a thorough examination to assess the severity of your cataract and determine the best treatment plan for you.

Your journey to clearer vision starts with understanding your condition. Schedule a comprehensive eye exam at Shiloh Eye Care today, and let us help you take the first step toward brighter, sharper vision.

Multifocal Lenses

Multifocal lenses are designed to provide clear vision at multiple distances, allowing patients to see well both near and far without the need for glasses. Featuring concentric rings with varying optical powers, these lenses facilitate a smooth transition between different focal points. Patients often enjoy greater independence in their daily activities, such as reading, working on a computer, and driving, thanks to the enhanced functionality that multifocal lenses provide.

Accommodative Lenses

Accommodative lenses mimic the natural behavior of the eye's lens, allowing for clear vision at various distances. They shift position within the eye to facilitate focusing on near, intermediate, and far objects seamlessly. This innovative design enhances the overall visual experience, making daily tasks such as reading and driving more enjoyable.

Toric Lenses

Toric lenses are specifically engineered to correct astigmatism while addressing cataracts. With different optical powers in different meridians, these lenses enhance overall visual clarity by providing precise correction tailored to the individual. Patients benefit from improved vision and experience a more comprehensive solution that enables better performance in various daily activities.

EDOF Lenses

Extended depth of focus (EDOF) lenses are designed to provide a continuous range of vision, enhancing clarity at various distances. By utilizing advanced optical technology, EDOF lenses improve depth perception and offer a smooth transition between different distances. Patients find that these lenses enhance their overall visual experience, making everyday activities more comfortable and enjoyable.

Femto Laser

Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery, commonly known as Femto, employs advanced femtosecond laser technology to enhance the precision and safety of cataract procedures. The laser creates accurate incisions in the cornea and performs a perfectly sized capsulotomy, facilitating access to the cataractous lens. Additionally, it fragments the cataract, allowing for easier removal with reduced ultrasound energy, which minimizes potential trauma to the eye.
