Considering cataract surgery? Dr. Anderson covers everything you need to know.

Dr. Daniel Anderson, board-certified ophthalmologist at Berkeley Eye Center, provides a comprehensive overview of cataract surgery - from understanding cataracts and symptoms to surgery options, lens choices, and recovery expectations.

Understanding Cataracts: A cataract means your natural eye lens has become cloudy. Glasses usually won't adequately improve vision at this point, making surgery often the best option. We remove the natural lens and replace it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
When to Consider Surgery: Dr. Anderson recommends surgery when your lifestyle is impacted by decreased vision.

Common Cataract Symptoms:
Blurred vision and difficulty reading road signs (especially at night)
Increased glare at night
Decreased ability to see in low light (fog/rain)
Inability to read or needing extra light to read

Lens Options Explained:

🔹 Standard Surgery (Insurance Covered) Works very well but most patients still need glasses for distance, intermediate, and near tasks full-time - regardless of whether you wore glasses before surgery.

🔹 Custom Package New technology lenses designed to correct astigmatism with the goal of distance vision without glasses. Most patients can pass driver's test without glasses but still need reading glasses (often over-the-counter).

🔹 Premium Package Multifocal or enhanced depth of focus lenses with several focal points, allowing most patients to see at distance and up close without glasses - freedom from glasses for most activities.
