What Are Cataracts?

A cataract is the gradual clouding of the eye's lens, impairs light passage, and results in hazy or dimmed vision. Aging is the most common contributor, but certain health conditions, like diabetes, or factors such as smoking, can accelerate cataract formation. Over time, you may notice increased glare, difficulty reading small print, or challenges driving at night.

Fortunately, modern cataract treatment in Old Bridge, NJ, can address these issues by removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens. This process can dramatically improve your daily life, whether running errands or enjoying local outings with friends.

What Is Premium Cataract Surgery?

Premium cataract surgery in Old Bridge, NJ, goes beyond standard lens replacement by incorporating advanced lens implants and surgical methods. While traditional cataract surgery replaces the clouded lens with a monofocal lens, premium options, like multifocal or extended-depth-of-focus lenses, optimize vision across various focal points to reduce reliance on glasses.

Laser-assisted cataract surgery in Old Bridge, NJ, enhances surgical precision using computer-guided lasers for corneal incisions and cataract fragmentation. Dr. Cohen uses his proprietary RealSight™ technology to take ultra-precise measurements, ensuring the selected lens provides the most accurate correction possible.

What to Expect During Your Premium Cataract Surgery in Old Bridge, NJ

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. We evaluate your eye health, vision goals, and lifestyle needs. Using Dr. Cohen’s RealSight™ system, we develop a precise surgical plan tailored to your eyes.

On surgery day, you’ll receive local anesthesia and a mild sedative for comfort. The laser-assisted system creates corneal incisions and softens the cataract for gentle removal. Your customized premium lens, whether multifocal, toric, or EDOF, is then implanted precisely.

Most patients notice improved vision within 24 to 48 hours. Full healing may take a few weeks, during which follow-up appointments ensure proper healing and lens stability.

Are You a Good Candidate for Premium Cataract Surgery?

Premium cataract surgery is ideal for individuals who want more than basic vision correction. Candidates should:

  • Have no major retinal or corneal diseases
  • Desire reduced dependence on glasses
  • Be willing to follow postoperative instructions

Additionally, stable general eye health and a willingness to follow up with recommended postoperative care, such as eye drops and check-ups, are crucial. During your evaluation, Dr. Cohen will determine whether premium lenses, combined with laser technology and RealSight™ diagnostics, best suit your unique vision profile.

Frequently Asked Questions Premium Cataract Surgery

How quickly does vision improve after surgery?

Many patients notice clearer vision within the first 24 to 48 hours, but individual recovery may vary. Full stabilization often occurs over a few weeks.

Is the procedure painful?

You'll receive local anesthesia and medication to keep you relaxed. Most patients report minimal discomfort during or after surgery, typically managed with prescribed drops and rest.

Can cataracts grow back after they're removed?

Once the natural lens is replaced, the cataract itself cannot return. However, the lens capsule may become cloudy over time, which is correctable with a simple YAG laser procedure.

Will I need to take time off work?

While many patients resume daily activities within a few days, you may take extra time off for a comfortable recovery, especially if your job involves strenuous tasks.

Does insurance cover premium cataract surgery?

Basic lens replacement is usually covered by insurance, but premium lenses and certain laser technologies may incur additional out-of-pocket costs. Our staff will clarify your coverage and financing options.
