Cataracts
The lens of your eye is normally clear, like a clean window. Light passes through it and focuses precisely on the retina at the back of your eye, producing the sharp images your brain interprets as sight. A cataract develops when proteins within the lens begin to degrade and cluster together, turning the once-transparent lens cloudy or discolored over time.
Common signs to watch for include vision that appears blurry, cloudy, or dim, difficulty reading fine print, even with your current glasses or contact prescription, increased sensitivity to glare from sunlight, headlights, or indoor lighting, and noticing halos or starbursts around lights, especially when driving at night.

Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is consistently ranked among the most successful surgical procedures in all of medicine. It has a long, well-established safety record and a remarkably high rate of patient satisfaction, with the vast majority of patients experiencing meaningful vision improvement after their procedure.
At DiGaetano Cataract Services, we perform cataract surgery with precision, care, and a deep commitment to your comfort. Our approach combines proven surgical technique with individualized treatment planning, because we know that no two patients, and no two pairs of eyes, are exactly alike.

Premium Intraocular Lenses
When your natural lens is removed during cataract surgery, it is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens, or IOL. Every cataract patient receives a lens implant, but not all lenses are the same. Standard monofocal lenses restore clear vision at one fixed distance, meaning most patients will still require glasses for at least some activities after surgery.
Premium intraocular lenses go a step further. These advanced implants are designed to expand your range of clear vision across multiple distances, reduce or eliminate your dependence on corrective eyewear, and, in some cases, address pre-existing conditions like astigmatism at the same time as your cataract is removed.

Light Adjustable Lens
The Light Adjustable Lens, or LAL, represents a significant breakthrough in personalized cataract care. It is the only intraocular lens on the market that can be precisely adjusted after it has been implanted in your eye, giving you and your surgeon the ability to fine-tune your vision based on real-world results rather than relying solely on pre-surgical measurements.
The Light Adjustable Lens is made from a specialized photosensitive material that responds to controlled ultraviolet light delivered by a device in our office. After your surgery and an initial healing period, you will come in for a series of brief, painless light treatment sessions. During each treatment, your surgeon uses targeted UV light to reshape the lens and adjust its focusing power with exceptional precision.
