Cataract Surgery in Charlottesville, VA

A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens that gradually blurs and dims vision. Modern cataract surgery removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL), restoring sharp vision in an outpatient procedure that typically takes less than 30 minutes per eye.
