A cataract is a clouding on the lens of the eye that can affect vision. Cataract removal surgery should be considered when cataracts interfere with your vision so drastically, that every-day life activities become challenging. Aside from some symptoms that may develop, such as clouded, blurry or dim vision, sensitivity to light, or colors that appear faded or yellowed, undergoing a dilated eye exam is the only positive way to diagnose a cataract. A dilated eye exam must be performed by a qualified eye professional, such as the doctors at Virginia Eye Institute.

Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery
Virginia Eye Institute is now the first in Central Virginia to offer Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery. This great advancement allows our patients’ access to the latest technology available in cataract surgery today.
Prior to the introduction of this laser, traditional cataract surgery involved the creation of several small incisions made manually with a blade. Now, a LenSx femtosecond laser has the ability to create those incisions, which provides you with a more precise and accurate procedure than manual cataract removal. The LenSx laser is an advanced, computerized technology that operates with extreme accuracy, helping to customize your cataract procedure to your unique vision needs.
