Cataracts & Astigmatism
Cataract & Astigmatism Care for The Villages, Ocala, FL & Beyond
One of the most common aging conditions in eye care, cataract development will affect your vision quality at some point in your life. Like the clouding up of a window that you can’t clean, a cataract diminishes the clarity and focus of light entering the eye. And the only way to fix a cataract is to get it out of the way surgically and replace it with a clear lens implant. This is how vision is restored.
Premier Eye Specialists uses a variety of FDA-approved lens implants at our Villages and Ocala surgery centers. This is key to achieving the best possible outcome, given a patient’s expectations and the potential of their visual system, along with the special features of specific lens implants. Astigmatism correction and enhanced range of glasses-free vision is possible for most all patients.
What Are Cataracts?
Cataracts are a very common condition, and occur when the clear lens inside your eye develops cloudy or brownish areas. Cataract formation occurs gradually, and many patients don’t even realize their vision has deteriorated. However, when cataract surgery is used to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with a clear lens implant, these same patients are pleasantly surprised to see details and colors that they haven’t experienced in many years.
What Are My Options?
With our Precision Cataract Surgery, you can take advantage of the evolution in lens implant technology and Dr. Hunt’s expertise to customize your vision. Over the last few years, cataract surgery has been one of the most exciting areas of medicine. A few examples include:

- Correction of astigmatism to increase the quality of vision after cataract surgery
- Simultaneous treatment of conditions such as glaucoma
Benefits of Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery offers numerous benefits to individuals suffering from cataracts, a common age-related condition that causes clouding of the eye's natural lens. If you have blurry or yellowish vision, you can significantly benefit from cataract surgery. Cataract surgery has many advantages, such as enhanced visual clarity, sharper focus, improved color perception, and reduced glare and halos. With clearer vision, individuals can regain their independence, engage in daily activities, and enjoy hobbies such as reading, driving, and watching movies. Cataract surgery is typically a safe and quick procedure, with relatively fast recovery and minimal downtime.
