CATARACT SURGERY

What Are Cataracts?

When a cataract progresses to the point where it interferes with your daily life—causing blurry vision, glare, or trouble with reading and driving—surgical removal is the only effective treatment.

Cataract surgery is one of the safest and most commonly performed procedures in the world. At Northern Wyoming Ophthalmology, we use advanced techniques to gently remove the clouded natural lens and replace it with a clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This restores clarity to your vision—and with premium lens implants, it can also significantly reduce your dependence on glasses.

Our practice offers multifocal and extended depth of focus lenses, designed to improve vision at multiple distances. These advanced lenses are ideal for patients seeking greater visual freedom after cataract surgery, often reducing or eliminating the need for reading glasses or bifocals.

Today’s cataract surgery is minimally invasive and does not require stitches. Using a technique called phacoemulsification, high-frequency ultrasound waves are used to gently break up the cloudy lens, which is then removed through a tiny incision. This small incision allows for a faster recovery, fewer complications, and a quicker return to daily activities.

The replacement lenses are made of soft, foldable materials that can be inserted through the same small incision. Once inside the eye, the lens unfolds into its proper position and begins restoring your vision immediately.

At Northern Wyoming Ophthalmology, we combine advanced surgical technology, premium lens options, and personalized care from Dr. Welch to ensure the best possible outcome for your eyes and your lifestyle.
