A cataract is the clouding of your eye’s natural lens, reducing its transparency. A cloudy lens prevents light rays from effectively reaching the retina and focusing properly, which impairs visual clarity. Fortunately, the discolored lens can be replaced with a customized, transparent lens implant that restores your vision and focusing power.
During surgery, the clouded natural lens is removed and replaced with a clear, soft intraocular lens (IOL). The implant is permanent and is customized to fit your visual needs. Cataract surgery is generally successful in improving vision and is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in the United States.
The out-of-pocket cost of cataract surgery varies based on an individual’s medical insurance. The patient is responsible for their deductible and co-pay, as well as any non-covered services provided by Eye Specialists of Indiana at the time of care.
