Cataract Surgery

Sound Eye and Laser in Seattle, Washington offers state-of-the-art cataract surgery technologies and procedures. Many people over the age of 60 can suffer from vision impairment due to cataracts. In fact, almost everyone develops cataracts as they grow older. Cataract surgery at our Seattle Washington facility is performed under the strictest clean room regulations and we can repair vision loss due to cataracts.

Cataract surgery is designed to reverse the clouding effect of the eye's natural lens. This clouding impedes light passing through the eye to the retina. Aging and other factors cause proteins in the eye's lens to bond to one another and form these cloudy areas. Cataracts classically result in blurry vision and light sensitivity. Individuals with cataracts often experience the feeling of looking through a glass of water or wax paper.

Common Symptoms of Cataracts

• You may be a good candidate for cataract surgery if you experience decreasing vision with age, blurred or double vision, difficulty seeing at night, difficulty distinguishing colors, or poor depth perception.
• You may want to consult with a cataract surgeon if you are seeing halos around bright lights, suffering from vision that worsens in sunlight, frequent prescription changes for glasses, or difficulty reading.

Sound Eye and Laser invites you to undergo a contrast sensitivity test if you believe you may have cataracts. Cataract surgery at our facility in Seattle can increase your chances of restoring clear vision. For more information regarding cataract surgery, please do not hesitate to contact us.
