What are Cataracts

Imagine your eye as a camera. The lens inside helps focus light on the retina, sending pictures to your brain so you can see the world. But things get blurry when a cataract clouds your lens, like looking through a foggy window. Without treatment, it could even lead to blindness.

Cataracts are common as we age, making our vision gradually fuzzier. They can also show up from eye injuries, diseases like diabetes, or some medications.

At Soroudi Vision, Dr. Soroudi, the best cataract surgeon in Los Angeles, is an expert in laser cataract surgery. He uses top-notch tech and a variety of intraocular lenses (IOL) to swap out the cloudy lens and sharpen your sight.

WWhat to Expect During Laser Cataract Surgery

It will take 15 minutes:

  • Initial Examination Avoid taking some meds and start taking those eye drops your doctor prescribed, much like the prep for Lasik in Beverly Hills. When the day for your cataract surgery arrives, skip breakfast and stay off the foods. Do not worry; you will get all the details during your chat with the doc. And fingers crossed for smooth sailing with the best eye surgeon in Los Angeles!
  • Pre-Op Avoid taking some meds and start taking those eye drops your doctor prescribed, much like the prep for Lasik in Beverly Hills. When the day for your cataract surgery arrives, skip breakfast and stay off the foods. Do not worry; you will get all the details during your chat with the doc. And fingers crossed for smooth sailing with the best eye surgeon in Los Angeles!
  • Anesthesia To keep you comfy during surgery, we use a numbing cream and some IV sedation. You should not feel a thing, not even a pinch!
  • Removing Cataracts and Inserting the IOL With a cutting-edge femtosecond laser, we make a tiny incision (just 3mm or smaller!) to precisely dissolve the lens using ultrasonic or laser technology, ensuring a smooth and quick removal. A flexible IOL goes through the tiny cut, taking over for the old lens shown on the door. There is no need for stitches – the cut heals all by itself. And just like that, in a quick 15 minutes, cataract surgery is a wrap.

What causes cataracts?

Cataracts are prevalent and can come about due to several conditions:

  • Aging eyes
  • Diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • Eye injuries
  • Eye inflammation
  • Prior eye surgery
  • Extreme sun exposure over time

Cataracts are the most common cause of blindness and are the leading cause of vision loss in the USA and the world. Thankfully, modern medicine has found a way to cure cataracts with cataract surgery in Beverly Hills & Los Angeles at Soroudi Vision. The natural eye lens can be replaced with a synthetic lens, restoring clear, crisp vision for the long term. There is no other way to resolve cataracts, as once the lens deteriorates, it can’t be restored naturally.

General Cataract Aftercare Advice

Here are some proven tips to help you recover smoothly and get the best results from your surgery. If you are unsure about what is okay to do post-surgery, give the office a ring for some advice. Skip the drink on the day of your surgery. You can return to your normal eating and medication routine right after the surgery. To keep infections at bay, steer clear of swimming, hot tubs, steam baths, and saunas for a week post-surgery.

Feel free to take showers or baths as you please. Hold off on the eye makeup for 24 hours to avoid infections. After that, use brand-new makeup straight from the package. Old mascara and eyeliner can harbor germs, so it is best to avoid them to prevent infections. You can go back to using your usual makeup after the first week. Keeping your blood pressure stable aids in eye healing, so no working out for at least 48 hours. After that, you can return to any exercise that does not involve heavy lifting.
