Cataract Self-Test
A cataract is the clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye, which prevents light from entering the eye and properly focusing on the retina.

Cataract Treatment Options
Thomas Eye Group offers the latest technology involving no-stitch, no needle cataract surgery. Millions of people undergo cataract surgery every year and have successful surgeries.
When considering cataract surgery you now have new options for lens implants. Some lenses can even correct your vision at near, far and intermediate distances. You have options for multifocal/accommodating lenses or the traditional monofocal lens implants. Be sure to discuss these options in your consultation and pre-operative eye exams.
Intraocular Lens (IOL) Options
Intraocular lenses come in a variety of materials and designs. Intraocular lenses come in a variety of materials and designs, including UV filtering, multifocal (enabling patients to see both at distance and near without the aid of glasses) and accommodating lens implants, which move inside the eye to emulate the natural process of the eye’s crystalline lens. Your Thomas Eye Group cataract surgeon generally chooses a lens made of a material that is best suited to your individual situation.
Laser Cataract Surgery
Thomas Eye Group proudly offers the FDA-approved CATALYS™ Precision Laser System. The CATALYS™ advanced 3D imaging technology builds a 3D map of each eye and tailors the treatment to that map. This enables our surgeons to create a customized treatment plan that matches the uniqueness of each eye and is ten times more precise than manual surgery.
Thomas Eye Group surgeons use CATALYS™ to create a circular opening for accessing and removing the cataract. CATALYS™ then softens and breaks up the hard cataract into tiny pieces, allowing for gentler, easier cataract removal.
AcrySof IQ PanOptix Trifocal IOL
The first and only FDA approved trifocal lens delivers an exceptional combination of near, intermediate and distance vision that greatly reduces the need for glasses. More than 99% of patients in the PanOptix clinic trial said they would choose the same lens again.
